Check out Joey Bosa's comments after practice yesterday (I read them on the OZone) - when asked what the difference was between Coaches Vrabel and Johnson. The concept of being "positive, not negative" kept being repeated by JB.

We all love Mike V for what he did at Ohio State as a player, and we love him for coming back as a coach. It would seem that at least one guy he coached didn't share that love. It makes me wonder about whether we really know what/who the disconnect was on defense last year, and whether some staff changes I didn't think were related to solving the defense's woes, were really exactly that.

That interview says a lot.

Reporter: Did you ever call Coach Vrabel 'Coach V?'
Bosa (laughing): No. Never 'Coach V.' That'd be bad.
Reporter: What would he do?
Bosa: I'm trying not to think about it.

In some thread around here, there was a report that Joey's brother was sad when Vrabel left. So if Joey likes Johnson's style better, then we are in a better position to get Joey's brother, and that is nothing to curse at. Michael Bennett may have liked Vrabel better, but Michael doesn't have a brother coming along.

I thought the most telling thing was the tone Bosa used, especially when he said, "That's all I'm going to say about that." But I guess it's possible that Bosa is a guy who lives in the present. When MV was his coach, that was his guy, and now that LJ is his coach, that's his guy. But his comments + tone make me suspect that what I think is there is really there.

Not sure if that stat is correct (only player in NFL history with a TD percentage of 100%).

Just looking at NFL Hall of Famers (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/hof/), I see a couple more:

2 Receptions, both for TDs:
Jonathan Ogden

1 Reception, went for a TD:
Randall McDaniel
Harry Carson
Jim Finks
Lou Groza
Gino Marchetti

I'm sure if I looked at non-HOF'ers, there would be more. Vrabel may be the player with the most receiving TDs and a 100% TD percentage, but I don't think he's the only.
