You're right, I kinda overlooked shaq because he was on staff this year and around the linebackers.

He even told me it's different being a field general versus being a sideline guy ... and that he understood better why the coaches were always saying, "we can't do it for you once the ball is in play."

I've always said what makes Peyton Manning so good is that he is a field general. He's not a likable person in person - he's really an arse. He doesn't have a great arm and he sure as hell is not a scrambler. But the guy is a field general.

Connor Shaw was a blue collar, field general type, QB for us.

If we really stop to think about it, we could probably name our All-Time blue collar team. It would be more apparent at every position than you can imagine ... the only debate being who is blue collar and who is blue chipper. But, as stated earlier, the fact at of the matter is that players like Marcus Lattimore are both blue collar and blue chipper. There's not many of those around but they are out there.
