Great OL technician coach it seems, not sure he'd have input into scheme
This! He is a technician and can coach the fundamentals and take players to a different level, game planning and blocking schemes are totally different. Hope we get him and he focuses on technique and let Philbin worry about breaking down film and game planning

So he like a linemen trainer. Sounds similar to the old quarterbacks that work with Dak in the offseason.
Correct. He runs an OL camp every year here with all of the elite lineman in the NFL. He’s recently worked with guys like Rashawn Slater, Trevor Penning, Evan Neal to name a few.

Slater said last season “ He's an O-line coach down there, he trains a lot of pro guys. I've just been getting in a lot of work. Working on improving my mobility, body composition, strength, stuff like that. ”

He will come in and work with the OL. But mostly get Tyler Smith ready to go

Great news for the OL if true. I've heard he was working with Steele and the biggest reason for his development.

At this point Manyweather may be valuable just training TSmith in private to circumvent the union’s off season rules

Duke is legit and possibly the best as what he does. We've sent a few players his way and they all swear by him.

My question or doubt would be this would most likley be a paycut and a heavy increase in weekly work hours. He's widely considered to be one of the best OL trainers so it's not like he needs this for legitimacy or long-term marketing purposes.

A well-know DL guru, Brandon Jordan, just made a move like this though and is now a coach with Michigan State.

It would be our best move of a very subpar off-season if they could bring him on.

I still don’t think this would be any than per diem with Smith. Not a full time coaching gig

The issue is that NFL rules severely restrict the time that coaches can spend with players in the off-season prior to training camp.

There are zero restrictions on how much time players can spend with a guy like Manyweather.

Love it. Please get it done Jerry. I would feel more comfortable with this developing Smith and teaching him 2 positions for this year. My faith in Philbin is a little shakey.
