OFFICIAL Broncos Lock In Walsh For Another Four Years

[Skathen]

Yeah peak years Boyd was a very technically elite fullback. His physicality such as speed and agility wasn’t near guys like Slater but he had mastered the craft.

If fully utilised he would likely have a lot to offer a young fullback.

The age old issue though is that being elite yourself at a thing, doesn't mean you're an elite teacher of said thing. They are related but distinct and offer unique challenges.

From what i know, he's a pretty smart coach and gets his points across well. I do agree though, sometimes the best players dont make the best coaches.

I understand that. But as I was saying, I don’t think Boyd is a freak athlete to the point the role was just naturally easy for him. At his peak, I think he played extremely intelligently which allowed him to overcame any natural ability short comings.

Boyd was like a seasoned boxer who knew how to conserve energy and make the most of efficient actions.

of course, none of that guarantee you’re a great coach either
