At the start of the offseason every year, or just when he needs to use it, there’s a picture that Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke will flash up on the screen as a reminder to his players. And he goes way back into his coaching history to find it, all the way back to his first NFL job, and the five years he spent as a lower-level assistant for Jeff Fisher in Tennessee.
“I’ve told people this before, the standard in my career is always Kyle Vanden Bosch, the way he trained and played and practiced,” Burke said Friday morning. “I always put his picture up when I talk about effort. And I’m like, Until someone does it better, this guy is going to be my flag bearer.”
