Humble Brag: I was at the 1 handed catch game.

We all thought it was an INC + PI … until the stadium showed the replay for 5-10 minutes straight

Straight pandemonium.

Glad to have @obj back in blue (thanks to @nicky_scarlotta @jojo_scarlotta6 for pushing this years ago)

[BigBlueVCR @BigBlueVCR]

Welcome back home to #NYGiants @obj. Everyone remembers the 1 handed catch vs Dallas on SNF in 2014. Before that catch he also converted a 3rd down & scored the 1st TD of the game from @EliManning. Of course, I'll have to show the longer version of his legendary catch too

Hot take: The average Joe shouldn’t bulk.

IME I’ve seen too many “dirty bulk” to the 180-200lb range, still more or less have the same physique (“with muscle”) and struggle to ever come down without professional help.

Cut, Lift, and pick up a combat sport for cardio.

[Mario Tomic @mariotomich]

Should a guy with this physique first cut or bulk?

For context, he's 160 lbs at 5ft 8.

“Spin off contact”

Combine your forearm shiver / “truck” and spin away from the tackler

*must get north and south immediately

To all the young athletes out there...

If your agent is taking more than 3%, they are stealing from you.

A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:

Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”

Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.

About 1.5% of those get drafted.

Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.

The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”

I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

[Coach Mac @CoachMac8740]

I view High School the same way. If we aren’t trying to use our best players as many snaps as possible and on Specials we are idiots.

Thanks to all the coaches who responded to my email this morning to get me right!

[Talk N Shoot @ChalkLast0712]

Everyone wants to call offensive plays but not everyone knows that it’s the most critiqued & loneliest coaching position in sports. Definitely one of the most exciting positions you can have when things are going well but also one of the most stressful when things aren’t.

[Rip 60 Z Slide @RNS_Historian]

One of my favorite concepts from Red Faught in his offense was his "throwback " concept that he utilized in both his 4WR sets and in his unbalanced wing-t formation based around the slotback rocket sweep. The tackles over wing-t formation is just a bitch to defend

[Coach Dan Casey @CoachDanCasey]

"We're going to do the opposite of what everyone else is doing... that's the only way to innovate.

[When designing an offense] you should break the rules of what previous coaches have taught.

If you're following the rules, the defense has the advantage."

- Mike McDaniel

Little phrases.
Inside jokes.
Random 1 Liners

But unless you’ve been in the locker room, a lot of people probably have NO idea what some of us are actually saying 😂

Here are 4 random things I say while coaching football + meaning 🧵👇

[Tommy Reamon Jr. @tommyreamon]

This map is a reminder that geography still plays a major role in recruiting.

Look at the concentration of college programs on the East Coast compared to the West. More schools means more camps, more visits, more relationships, more exposure and ultimately more opportunities.

A prospect in the Southeast or Mid Atlantic can drive past 15 schools in the same distance some West Coast kids have to fly to see 3.

Talent matters. But location absolutely impacts access.

[Jim Shapiro @jimshapiro]

You do realize you can play soccer, baseball, basketball, tennis, golf and most other sports for decades after high school.

Football? This is your time.

It’s now or never.
