I was super jealous.
Yes sir, it was a once in a lifetime experience, let me tell you! Sorry Chris!

I actually got to speak to 30 of the 32 NFL Coaches heading into the 2007 season...No Belichick (not part of Coaches Association) and no Cam Cameron (schedule conflict or something).

We have also gotten a chance to speak with assistant coaches like Greg Olsen of the Bucs, Jim Schwartz of Tennessee Titans, Rex Ryan of Baltimore, quality control coaches from Indianapolis and Jacksonville...and that's just the ones I was involved with, I know the Madden and NCAA guys were in tons more.

We also talked with one NFL General Manager and also some big time player agents. So we try and cover our bases from an NFL authenticity perspective.

Funny too, we filmed all of these coach interviews in hopes of using them as promotion or something, it would be really cool to release them in some form...Let me ping a few people in the video lab and see what we can cook up for the September standalone release....Stay tuned.
