Re: 2015 OG Richie Fontaine Petitbon
we are experiencing from last year, and maybe this year a drop off in off line toughness, and dominance. I believe the young studs coming in 2014 and next year will bring us back to the premier off line position. I was born and raised in the wash DC area, and needless to say a die hard skins fan since 1945. my dad ran the stadium restaurant and catering business. I got to see all the skins games I wanted. the president and owners would eat at the stadium restaurant often. as a teenager, adult i was able to eat with them, enjoy the sportswriters stories, and i was given a gold pass for entry to the games and i could use the executive eleavator up to the dining room, and had direct access to the press box and watched the games from the fifty yard line either in the press box or owners box. i was popular at school, i was permitted to bring one schoolmate or friend with me to the football, and the baseball games. great times for a youngster. the grandson of Richie petibon has to be a potential outstanding athlete. his dad was one of my favorites when he play safety, there were not better. a bonecrusher tackler, and defend anybody, he was a great def coordinator during joe gibbs era. his defenses were as mean as him, and talented. surprised with his size, he didn't play defense in high school. he played at Gonzaga high school, which has always been a perennial top private high school in wash D.C. i played football against Gonzaga many times when i went to a city school there. yes, i am a old man watched Sammy baugh play, best ever. i am 78 years young. roll tide.
