So, I'm hearing a lot about Childress and the Philly connection, and a lot about Taylor being the new Westbrook. But, I find something else very interesting about Childress.

Childress tutored the University of Wisconsin as offensive coordinator, quarterbacks and running backs coach from 1991-98. Childress guided Badgers RB Ron Dayne through his junior season and helped him become the first collegiate player to rush for over 7,000 career yards and go on to win the Heisman Trophy. While tutoring the UW offense, Childress guided some of the top performers in school history. Ron Dayne (1st-7,125 yards), Brent Moss (4th-3,428 yards) and Terrell Fletcher (5th-3,414) all rank among the career rushing leaders.

So one of the first things that gets down is signing a great O lineman. Then they grab themselves a very good fullback, a staple of the Wisconsin offense for a long time.
In my opinion, I think Childress is going take a bit of a step back from what we saw in Philly, and inch closer to what we saw in Wisconsin. And I think Wisconsin has proven that guys like Taylor can be very successful in that type of offense.
