@CoachTatum90 @TheLastFullback @Run_TheDamnBaII @PaceNSpace2 @FilmHistoric @txhsfbchat I'm a CB&S guy!

There are 2 types of OL Coaches these days: Those that still use Chutes, Boards, and Sleds, and those that do not. Which side are you on?

@64AMDG 👏🏾 👏🏾 I could not agree more! The trenches are about attitude and mentality, let’s get back to that! 💪🏾

This coach is taking a lot of heat for this drill - unfairly. I had two offensive line coaches early in my career who ran drills I didn’t fully understand at the time. But there was no social media for them to be critiqued. If it were available, you guys would’ve LIT THEM UP😅. Ironically, they became two of the BEST coaches I ever had because they taught the most important element of offensive line play: Mentality. If people want to have an honest conversation about why offensive line play feels softer today, I’d point to three things: 1. Mentality Too much weight-room theater and “tough guy” performance, but not enough real edge. 2. Over-emphasis on scheme Offenses are playing faster than ever, but linemen are being asked to process more information than ever. When the brain is overloaded, players hesitate. 3. Information without context There are now a lot of “OL trainers” and podcast experts with strong opinions but very little real résumé behind them. Young players have unlimited information — but very little guidance on how to interpret it. Sometimes development isn’t supposed to look perfect on camera. Sometimes the best development happens away from the field and looks more like building a real relationship with the person, and not just the player. Maybe it’s time the entire OL “industry” quiets down a bit and let coaches coach. Because. Offensive line play was really good long before everyone had a microphone. I have many more thoughts on this topic… so maybe I’ll just do a podcast about them 😂🎙️ #AMDG

@LanceFrazier15 The hardest thing to do as a HS coach is convince 🏀 kids/their parents of this. Even though the stats/facts speak for themselves! 🤦🏾‍♂️

Great feet, violent hands, impeccable leverage & explosion. Throw out the height, that dog will hunt! #DLPRIDE

You can’t hire a better defensive coach, congratulations @FBCoachP great to see you back in the game!

@Coach_Faunteroy Same! Got this in 2014 @ the convention. An incredible read for anyone who believes, and more importantly trying to get young people to see the power in who they can become! #RIPBrotherChet

GOD is good. #FlashbackFriday 🙏🏾🧡💪🏾 The late Rev. Chette Williams has been on my mind lately. I met him in 2014 at the @WeAreAFCA Convention. I always made sure that I went to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) events. I am so glad that he wrote this book. We can all use it as a reference point as we walk “The Broken Road”. I felt his presence in that moment. I could only imagine how it was for people that saw him on a regular basis. He passed away a little over a year ago. Continued blessings to his family & friends. I still have his signed book.📚🕊️

Congratulations @CoachFontana well deserved! 👏🏾👏🏾
