Last season, he jumped on an offensive lineman's back to get him to keep from coming out of his stance. <br /><br />He walks like he's a bit crippled...but he doesn't play like it.<br /><br />Hopefully Purdue's line shows some of his knowhow in the coming season.boilerdowdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08356708955038289503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-28504619779726761472011-03-07T14:30:42.148-05:002011-03-07T14:30:42.148-05:00Millen's comment about high school kids not un...Millen's comment about high school kids not understanding this stuff seems misguided to me. He was speaking to high school coaches, not players. I assume the point is to explain minutiae to the coaches and let them determine how much detail is appropriate for their players?<br /><br />Millen is a better color analyst than most, but it's hard to appreciate that through his giant ego.<br /><br />Interesting that Hope has trouble moving around. He looks to be in pretty good shape from the sideline shots they do of him. Football training back in the 70's was probably not as "joint-conscious" as training today.Painter Smurfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-2124416828183443802011-03-07T11:36:39.103-05:002011-03-07T11:36:39.103-05:00@ Rob Pollard 11:12 a.m.

I don't follow his team, but when I do watch it, I don't think I've ever seen him look happy.<br /><br />- Matt Millen being a jerk & not paying attention? Shocking! I'll never forgive the Ford's for letting him ruin the Lions (and for that franchise, that's saying something).<br /><br />- (Funny) unintentional typo: "In the middle of Hoke's speech, a tall, well dressed guy..." - - while it would have been awesome to have Brady Hoke come in, Matt Foley-style, and start giving am inspirational speech in front of the Purdue coach, I'm pretty sure it was still Danny "Hope"!Rob Pollardnoreply@blogger.com
