My grandpa for the longest asked me to go to Bayou classic with him. I was never able to go. This year he passed away. Today was the first one I was able to attend. I got the opportunity to coach in it and We won. I love you grandpa. This one for you 🖤💛🐯
Young Defensive lineman never get use to keeping your eyes in the back field. Handle whats in front of you first. A wise man once told me “ See a little see a lot, See a lot see a little ”🏈
Young defensive Lineman, DO NOT form a habit of letting Offensive Lineman keep their hands on you after the point of attack. Shed their hands and run to the ball🏈
Young Defensive Lineman, understand when you are at the Nose Tackle position you do not have space to do any crazy pass rush moves. Your mindset should be that you have to move someone out your way to get a sack🏈
Young defensive lineman, when a blitz is called DO NOT sit at the line of scrimmage. This is your time to go make a play. Explode off the ball and make something happen. Just make sure you stay in your gap while doing it ❗️❗️🏈
The fact I would drink this water. Eat a pack of noodles. Then go outside and Rush for 20 TDs and have 786 Rushing yards in one day. This is my greatest achievement.
Young Defensive Lineman, Striking should always be a Mindset. You should never “Place your hands” on anyone. As a D-Lineman you should have the most violent hands on the field🏈
Young defensive lineman, understand the importance of hand placement when taking on a double team. You can’t play both blockers at the same time. Play half of man and explode through your key🏈
Young Defensive Lineman, Understand it Is cool to make the play, but doing your job first is a must. DOMINATING your gap should be the first thing that comes to mind before you come out of your stance🏈
Young defensive lineman , make sure when you are coming off the ball your head is raised up. You can’t strike what you can’t see, but also you don’t want to risk hurting yourself🏈
Young defensive lineman, understand the importance of not jumping off sides. This is something you can prevent by paying attention to your key or the ball. Strain & stay focused‼️🏈
Young Defensive lineman, The best thing you can work on in your down time is Block Recognition. Take a teammate. An go through a different set of blocks you could get. Start with run blocks first. Then work your way into Pass Sets. Make sure your hands are on your keys🏈
Young defensive lineman, learn game situations. Always check the down and distance so you can know what to expect. We aren’t just machines. We can be smart football players also🏈
Young Defensive lineman, Help on screen passes. If the offensive lineman lets you run by. Something isn’t right. Stick your foot in the ground and get to the ball‼️🏈
D-Lineman make sure you pay attention how the Defensive Lineman on both teams are striking and bringing their hips in this Champion game. Dominate the line of scrimmage🏈
Young defensive lineman, Understand the importance of Pass rush lanes. You can not jump to gaps trying to get a sack. This sometimes can lead to a 1st down by the QB or a big yardage gain🏈
I remember when I was 13 one of my coaches said to me football wasn’t for everybody. At the moment I thought he was calling me a bad football player. Then as I got older I realized what he meant. It takes a different type of love for this game🏈
Young Defensive Linemen, get the call and be ready to play. Don’t show weakness to the offense. Once they see you aren’t lined up or have your hands on your hips. They normally try to rush and hike the ball. (Echo the call also)🏈
Young Defensive lineman, Always be alert for the Down and Distance. This will give you an idea of what plays you can expect or also alert you to have a idea of your stance. Either get ready to anchor for a run play or narrow your stance for an explosive get off🏈
Young Defensive Lineman, pass rushing is a effort drill. Having good moves are great to have, but it really starts with how hard are you going to go to get that sack & not let the guy in front of you stop you🏈
I taught my daughter how to tie her shoes today. She punched me in my stomach and ran off after she learned. It probably will go down as one of my favorite moments ever❤️
Last college game ever. Thank you god. For the great game of football.🏈 I thank UAM for giving a lost soul a chance to do what he love to do.. And gain back his love for this game ..3️⃣.
2018, I didn’t know where my life was going to go. Now I have more than I could have ever asked for an for that I am thankful. Never give up on yourself. They don’t have to believe in you. Long as you believe in yourself. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
No matter how busy you get. Take time to reach out to your family and let them know you love them. It’ll Take 30 seconds. I promise they will be happy about it.
The one thing I’ve learned from people that are successful is that their success didn’t just come over night. It came from the way they attack each day. It’s a marathon NOT a sprint. Trust the journey✅
Young Defensive Lineman, your stance is important. Once you get in a good stance you are able to strike and get off the ball. Before you do anything this should be the first thing you work on daily 🏈
