I think when the opposing team's OL coach seeks you out after the game, you've made an impression!

And if Daboll ever needs a game off, he can certainly be his double.

Let's hope he is as good in assessing OL FA and draft talent.

Players and coaches whose entire livelihood depends on assessing the minutest detail of every nuance of the game - who eat, drink, and sleep football, don't have the same animosity towards other players that fans do. That's because they know when certain individuals do the kinds of things they know to be the right thing (and most difficult to do), but also appreciate how arduous one must be, to climb that uphill battle to attain such moves, as well as having put themselves through hours of daily study to gain the deeper understanding of the tiniest of details

A virtuoso pianist appreciates other great pianists because they understand how difficult some things are to do and watch it be mastered. Their inclination is to go out and tell the pianist how great they did. It's why you see players hugging other players after the game, even between the most hated rivalries, and why coaches tend to go out of their way to show their appreciation of a player's who has displayed something fascinating to them. It's why Daboll went over to Hurts last hear and hugged him and told him he had a great game...from the hated Eagles who just kicked our asses

The hatred, hostility, and downright rancor comes from fans...not the coaches or players in the battle. And if a player does act like a fan with animosity because of the team name, he's not a pro
