I think Weeb, while he knew the x’s and o’s, was more a manager-type coach. In fact, he was a general manager. He was more an overseer — you bring in Clive Rush to run the offense and Walt to run the defense, and he just kind of managed things — whereas Walt was a little more hands-on on the defense, simply because of his background. When it comes to tempo of practice and things like that, a lot of the things that Walt did were very similar to what Weeb did. I would say they were similar in that respect.

Just moving me around — to the backfield from the fullback position, putting me in motion, having me go in motion and block just like a fullback would block in the interior, except I’d be coming from an angle from the side.
