When a new assistant coach is hired he often spends the early part of his offseason with his new club reviewing the previous season’s game tape to get a feel for the players he inherits. In some cases those coaches formulate preliminary opinions about what their players are and are not capable of doing. Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer chooses to take a different approach.
“Obviously watching the tape is one thing. It gives me the opportunity to see their movement skills and how they play,” said Kromer. “But understanding I don’t know what they were being told or how they were being coached to do things, it’s a case where I want to get with these guys and get out on the grass with them and get a feel for how they learn and how they pick up the things I’m going to teach them.
