Juan Castillo: New OL Coach

Yeah. I believe I saw a stat once that at times during the McNabb years their run/pass ratio was 35:65. Reid wouldn't have an oline coach that couldn't pass block.
If my eyes don’t deceive me at least 15% of those passes turned into runs lol
 
Yes

3 yards per carry in a million snaps
Made it easier to remember the nice runs because there were so few nice holes.

Also makes you wonder how complicated OLINE is to teach. There are only so many things to have the oline do. Footwork/hand positioning. But the mental part is where our guys struggled so much. Confused on so many plays.
 
Watters was before Castillo and only one of McCoy's 1K years was with Castillo. McCoy's rookie year was 09, he got 1K in 2010.

But they were very pass-heavy during Reid's tenure, and often had a shared load in the backfield.

They also had the best screen game in the league that whole time.

Castillo was there from 1995 to 2012.

That includes 3 years of Watters gaining 1,000 yards.

McCoy gained 1000 in 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014.
 
4.5 ypc with 14 rushing TDs as a senior.
He also got 1,000 yards as a junior, with a similar average.
What's wrong with you?
LaQuint Allen was terrific for us.
Allen was a great clutch guy, the UNLV game alone shows what a great player he was. Great blocker and pass catcher too. I will take an LQA every single year on this team
 
Lequint was a much different level from anything we had last year. His yards after contact was outstanding
Agreed, and Willis might be the most over rated RB prospect I've seen in years. If he doesn't learn to lower his pads he'll be in concussion protocol the rest of his career. I really like what Hill showed when he had a chance. He might end up being a major contributor next season, especially if he can catch the ball out of the backfield.

I'm not questioning that at all. I think he was a very dependable runner. Certainly, an excellent complementary piece to McCord's passing attack. Tough as nails. But he didn't have great vision, shiftiness, or acceleration. As a fan I was always left wanting those intangibles and underappreciated everything else he brought to the table.

He was just an offensive assistant in 95 and 96 and a TE coach in 97, he switched to OL in 98.

He was OL coach from 98-2010, then DC in 2011 and 2012.

One of my favorites of all time Like Wow
 
Nixon overlapped 3 years with Castillo when they were both at the Eagles under Andy Reid

Castillo was OL and Nixon was offense /RB coach so they had direct interaction I would assume
2009:


  • Hey, great time over the weekend at the Eagles' Academy For Men. More than 400 men attended the sessions on Saturday and Sunday at NovaCare Complex and took part in classroom sessions with coaches Juan Castillo, Rory Segrest, James Urban and Jeff Nixon. The men ran through drills in the practice bubble, talked about the draft and really had a great, great time. It was the first Academy For Men and it most certainly won't be the last. Think about it next year as a gift to share with your father, your son or a good friend.
 
I have no clue how to judge OL coaches, let alone if the hiring of one is a good move.

If he can drag the carcass of this OL from hideous to mildly OK it’ll be a huge win.

Amen.

I'll disagree there. He had good vision, great shiftiness which is why he could roll off would be tackles and good enough acceleration. What he did lack was top end speed but he's our best 10 yard RB since DC3 was on the hill.

OK. Thanks.

I think Lequint's literal presence gave us three wins last year
