Who is the player the #Saints can realistically draft at pick 14 that will make you excited (or at least satisfied)?

@POTUS Y’all can’t build a wall to secure a proper way to enter a border but you say you can change the temperature of the earth. 🤪

Nick Saban was asked a question after practice once.
His response was 70 seconds of gold on what it takes to be successful in life.
Here’s Saban on the Illusion of Choice:
“These guys, they all think they have this illusion of choice. Like I can do whatever I want to do.
“You have a younger generation now that doesn’t always get told no. They don’t get told this is exactly how you need to do it. So they have this illusion that they have all these choices.
“But the fact of the matter is, if you want to be good you don’t really have a lot of choices. It takes what it takes. You have to do what you have to do to be successful.
“You have to make the choices and decisions to have the discipline and the focus to the process of what you need to do to accomplish your goals.
“All these guys that think they have a lot of choices are sadly mistaken. As we all have done with our own children, they learn these lessons of life as they get older.
“Sometimes the best way to learn is from the mistakes you make, even though we all hate to see them have to make them, and we don’t condone it when they do.”

I’ve studied Saban for 12+ years, and the Illusion of Choice is one of the most powerful concepts I’ve come across.
Some key takeaways:
1. Excellence has a price. We can complain about that, but it’s a fact of life.
2. Most people don’t want to pay that price. They just haven’t admitted it to themselves.
3. Saying you want to be excellent is easy. Becoming excellent is hard.
4. There may not be one way to become great, but there are very few. And they all have discipline and consistency in common.
5. Every action we take is a choice. We’re choosing to make progress, or we’re not.
6. The formula for becoming successful: Your Daily Choices x Time. It’s simple, but we make it complicated.
7. Sometimes we learn more by making the wrong choices. Reflect on them, pull out the lessons and move on.
8. You have to choose what you do every day. Don’t follow your feelings. Choose to do what will make you better.
9. There are no long-term hacks. It takes what it takes.

I absolutely refuse to let anyone tell me they're sorry and hang their heads and console me. We just went undefeated and won the ACC Championship! I'm celebrating today...we have amazing players and amazing coaches. I'm proud as hell to be a very small part of @FSUFootball

@kurt13warner @CoachDubMaddox Dub solved that issue for me years ago with R4 principles.

As the SHOTGUN trend takes over all levels of football, one of the biggest flaws created from it is - QBs tying their feet to the routes, too often setting too early & making them play faster than the concept & get impatient - it’s why routes were originally tied to steps from under center…
When steps correlated directly to routes it was naturally better timing and connection between the 2… I know many have tried to figure out the same thing from GUN but I think it’s impossible bc of different variables in GUN (speed of snap, foot placement, position of ball on snap, etc…)…
The results is more QBs playing with FOOT timing (read determined by when my feet set), instead of MIND timing (read is determined by timing of routes in my mind based on practice & under center reps)… and it’s messing a lot of QBs up IMO!

@AintGottaDollar Keep doing your thing. My ears like what you’ve given so far.

@JoeBiden How about secure your border while we pay to secure other countries borders ?
English

@JoeBiden We must, without equivocation sucre OUR border bossman

@POTUS Securing border probably keep us safer than anything. Let anyone in that wants to chase the American dream properly, but don’t preach safety comes from a hand shake with other countries.

@POTUS You don’t know what you give safe harbor to if our borders aren’t secure bossman

As president, I have no higher priority than the safety of Americans at home and around the world.
@VP and I spoke with our national security teams to discuss ongoing steps to protect the homeland, including Jewish, Arab, and Muslim communities, following the attacks in Israel.
