I remember them bring up special teams coach Maurice Drayton because he surprised them. I don't fully remember the discussion, but it sounded like the podcast guys were seriously impressed by the enthusiasm, the focus on fundamentals, and the intensity that Drayton was bringing to minicamp/OTAs/etc. New coaches often bring that in the beginning, but obviously it has to translate into success on the field. However, at least these guys made it sound like Drayton was a breath of fresh air....even if he was on the previous coaching staff.As a side discussion, I never mind promoting an assistant. In my years, I have worked for many "bosses" that I disagreed with their approach. I did what they asked and when presented with the opportunity to take over, brought my own style and direction to the effort. So in a situation like Drayton, I'm always willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.</blockquote>
