The two-time NFL Coach of the Year offered a wide-ranging assessment ahead of the spring game, touching on culture, personnel and what makes this staff different.
So far, I’m thinking our crowded TE room is going to be the surprise of the season, or that’s what I’m hoping for, personally. There’s a lot of talk about the other position groups which is great, but if JKS has a variety of body types to throw to as well, with a big body or two occupying the middle of the field, as well as a unit that adds muscle in the running game, we could be far better than last year. Purcell is definitely one who stood out in the spring game, but Mason Mini is also a unique type of player and familiar option for JKS. Dorian Thomas looks good and has experience and Rico Walker looks like a monster from the sideline. Let’s be physical in 2026-27!GO BEARS
What about the Special teams? Do we have One kicker?
This is a good question. Perhaps we could hear about the special teams progress in the near future? What say you all, Write for California Staff?
Two kickers named Towns and Chase. I think Towns is the short specialist and Chase is KO and long distance.
New culture, new day: structure, tempo, buy-in. Bear Territory!
