🔥🔥🔥

Retweet from earlier today. Tua and Michael are now the most Left Hand-ness QB room in the league. What does this mean for the sportsbooks?!??

Two months before it was announced?!

@SidelineJournl He is a #Giant

Kansas City Chiefs now aim to draft Caleb Downs

With the resigning of Jaguars Cornerback Montaric Brown, Travis Hunter is now slotted to be the CB 3 and the WR 4 Congrats to everyone in sports media ( @espn )who overhyped this incredible athlete into thinking he could really be a CB/WR. Now he is neither.

Our @SidelineJournl Co-Host 💀💀

@LandonTengwall I agree with most of what you are saying, this conversation has changed from looking at how to optimize the drill to all of X looking at a pre Indy warm up drill and attributing it to the coaching philosophy of a tenured coach in the profession who’s proven his process works.

You can have guys holding bags (like any Indy drill ever done). Or if you really want ZERO contact, you can do the drill full speed up until the point of contact and just stop right there. It’s extremely feasible. Paralysis by analysis is a real thing, but when I start to get deep into this stuff that is self admittedly very hard to understand (took me years of studying), guys will lean into “there’s no need to get into all that” or “that’s just paralysis by analysis”. To put it someway simply, I think it’s important for coaches to understand how environment creates behavior and how those behaviors effect the environment

Let’s talk about the culture of “drills” and how I think many are misguided: So what is the end goal of this drill? It’s to get your OL to be able to brace back off their gallop step when a DL slants away. So we are trying to train a “perceive and react” type of drill. But that’s not what this is. This is players just going through chutes and ladders mindlessly. There is nothing presented to them that makes them have to think or come up with answers for what their environment (aka the DL) presents to them. The best “drills” are those which the athlete has to be presented a problem, and they have to find a solution (quick reaction), but they can’t know beforehand what the answer is going to be. You have to let them find the solution in real time. Because in a real game or even practice, you don’t have the answer before the snap. It is SO important to change the environment that the athlete is working within when working “drills”, or else when real bullets start flying it makes it MUCH harder for the athlete to find a solution, because they have been training in “drills” in which the environment is always stagnant This is actually more important now than ever for Offensive Linemen because front 7s are slanting, twisting, blitzing at an all time high

@LandonTengwall This is paralysis by analysis. What you are describing again is not a feasible drill environment for the first day of a helmet acclimation period for a drill in the warmup period of practice. A non contact on air drill that translates is a win day one of spring Indy.

“Muscle memory” is cool if we didn’t play football in a chaotic environment. I can train muscle memory all I want from a static standpoint. And I’ll be really good at doing that statically (EX: I might have a really good pass set on air, but what happens when that environment is then changed?) and that’s where my problem lies with many drills. Many coach from a static/isolated standpoint So the real way to get muscle memory in the situations you want it, is giving them a ton of reps in “chaotic” situations. I need the muscle memory of being able to react to something where I don’t have the answer before the snap

The #bills address their biggest hole with the DJ Moore Trade. Well done Brandon Beane

@AdamSchefter @CoachJones256 Joe Brady reunites with DJ Moore from the panthers day

ESPN sources: the Chicago Bears are working to finalize a trade that would send WR D.J. Moore to the Buffalo Bills. Compensation still is being discussed, and the trade cannot be processed until the new league year begins, but both sides are pushing to make it happen.
