Also for all you Cal die hard defenders you realize he just played you all right??? He got on tv with the AD last week and talked about how he was committed to fixing the program and then ran to the bank with a bag of frozen chicken tenders

What an awful take. The guy did everything right. He followed all protocols. He tested negative 3 times in 3 days. An obvious false positive. What message is he supposed to send Rex? Some people want this to keep going because they live to be miserable I guess.

Technique we use when we are running outside zone and are 1 on 1 with no double team help. Drop reach toe to inside heel then “power shuffle”for leverage. On power shuffle we want to kick the reach foot with the inside foot to be flat quickly/run hip and helmet to reach side gap

@JoyTaylorTalks A badge doesn’t mean you get to be judge, jury, and executioner. Floyd’s past in absolutely no way warranted him being left for dead in the streets. You commit a crime you go to court. That’s what Chauvin got to do and he is now a convicted murderer.
