Few understand the NFL rulebook better than Mike Pereira. So at a time when the NFL rulebook will be changing like never before Mario Addison Jersey , it makes sense to talk to him.

Talk to him I did on Friday, for a full hour.

The topics ranged from the important to the amusing Braxton Miller Jersey , including the story behind my favorite photo of Pereira, who is seen on the wrong end of the Wrath of Tuna.

Every minutes of the interview is worth your time. You’ll be entertained Julien Davenport Jersey , you’ll learn some things, and you’ll emerge with a better understanding of the challenges that officials face.

You’ll also learn about Battlefields2Ballfields Andre Holmes Jersey , a foundation started by Mike and his wife to help veterans transition from the military to civilian life by getting them involved in officiating. You can (should) make a contribution here, and you also can help the effort by thinking of a veteran you know who may benefit from the program.

DeMarcus Ware said earlier this year that he’d like to work as a mentor to pass rushers and one of his former teams is giving him a chance to do that.

Mike Klis of KUSA reports that Ware will spend the final two weeks of the offseason helping the current Broncos edge rushers. Ware had 21.5 sacks for Denver over his final three NFL seasons.

Some of Ware’s charges have already spent time working with him as Von Miller Tavon Wilson Jersey , Shane Ray and Shaq Barrett were all with the Broncos before Ware retired as a player. Fifth overall pick Bradley Chubb did not play with Ware and getting him up to speed as soon as possible is likely to be a focus for the team over the rest of the offseason.

Ware isn’t the only guest coach working with the Broncos this offseason. Longtime NFL offensive line coach Howard Mudd is also working with the team on a short-term basis.
