Hey @Sallie get your words out in one post. No one wants to see 3 to 4 posts from your dumb ass about the same thing over and over. We get it, you like BEN, but STFU already!
A little curious about giving him the OC job but it sounds like more of a support role for Johnson so I’ll defer to his judgement.
Doyle will be the trusted OC up in the booth–the eyes for my man BEN down on the field. Who else would take that role? He can focus on the TEs.
Trust in my man BEN. He has his reasons for this unique selection. Some that cannot be made public.
OK, whose love child is he?
