Rick Maese of WaPo cranks out 2,500 words on our ball coach James Franklin.  Four word summary: Franklin's an energetic salesman.

Deion Barnes starts his redshirt junior campaign, and Philly.com asks Sean "Chaos" Spencer about it.  Strange quote from Chaos:

"Don't calculate it by how many TFLs, how many sacks. Obviously, that's something that [members of the media] look for. As a coach, I want to make sure, 'Were you in the right spot at the right time? Did you affect the game in any positive way?' And yeah, you're measured by tackles for loss and tackles and sacks and things, but you also can be very, very consistent and do your job well and really help the team."
