This is the 2nd play we install.

After RB Swing we install quick Now screens.
(With and without OL releasing.)

Takes stress off the OL early in the season as they develop.

Overlooked and often forgotten.

Bookmark so you don't forget.

Jimmy Johnson sharing a mindset lesson from General Patton.

"Football rewards the guys that are in great condition. That's when you have fun. When you're kicking somebody's ass and they're sucking for wind."

Then he quoted the great general:
"Fatigue makes cowards of us all."

"When you're tired - you make mistakes, you don't do what's right, and your will to win all of a sudden starts to waver."

"You get tired and all of a sudden you don't have that same fight."

It makes you vulnerable.

It removes your discipline and your drive to succeed.

"Fatigue makes cowards of us all. All of us. Me included."

"If you're in great shape, if you can run like a deer at the end of the ball game, you're gonna be smiling and having fun."

It means take time to prepare your mind and body.

Conditioning and preparation are things you can control.

Because when fatigue sets in, the fight goes with it if you let it.

Stacy Searels – OL Coach, Georgia

Good offensive lines move the line of scrimmage.

Tight zone is not just a scheme. It is effort, strain, and finish showing up on film.

Foot fire.
Bang back.
Work up.
Strain to finish.

Move the LOS and have fun doing it.

Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:

Two kids. One rich. One poor.

Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.

The rich kid has two choices.

Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.

Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.

The poor kid has two choices too.

Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.

Or outwork everyone in the room.

Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.

Same choice for all of them.

Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.

The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.

The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.

Greatness doesn't come from where you start.

It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

Georgia Tech Offensive Line Coach Allen Mogridge on fighting human nature and replacing comfort with growth:

📏 You beat average by winning in the margins. When you wake up, your food diet, your eye diet, your ear diet, how you spend your time... It's a tedious and constant fight against your mundane and incessant natural tendencies.

🧬 Human nature pulls toward ease, distraction, and immediate relief. Leadership means resisting the first impulse and choosing the better response, ESPECIALLY when nobody is watching.

🌱 Comfort feels safe, but there's a quiet trade off for who you can become. Growth asks more of you, but it gives more back!

Our default wiring gravitates us toward what’s easier, so growth has to be chosen with energy and intent, and on purpose, everyday.

[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

As a former OL and OL coach, nothing is better than a QB/OC/WR guy drawing up a blocking scheme and saying, “just block it up.”

“Just” block it up.

Right… because angles, footwork, leverage, hand placement, communication, and post-snap movement don’t matter.

That’s like me drawing a route and telling a QB, “just throw it there, I don’t see why it’s hard.”

There’s a difference between calling it and coaching it.

A big one.

It’s always entertaining watching people who’ve never had to do the work act like it’s automatic.

There’s nothing “just” about it.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Kobe Bryant shares why most teams get practice wrong and what Phil Jackson taught him about preparation.

"Practices are meant to be competitive. If your practices aren't more competitive than the games themselves, you're doing the wrong thing."

That's the standard. How you prepare is how you are going to play.

"Most of these teams and coaches have gotten into a mindset of resting players. 'Oh, it's too much. We're not gonna practice.' Light day, light day, light day."

"Phil never gave us a light day. There was no days off. You show up and you work. You practice."

You show up and do the work. No excuses or shortcuts.

"Practices are going to be worse. They're gonna be more physical. There's gonna be more trash talking."

"And I'm gonna let you know. If you didn't show up today, I'm gonna let you know. And it's gonna be embarrassing, and you're gonna hate it."

Then he explained why it all mattered:
"But when Game 7 rolls around in the NBA Finals, you will be prepared."

That's the tradeoff.

Hard now, easy later - or easy now, hard later.

You don't rise to the moment. You fall to the level of your preparation.

Brian Callahan – OL, Minnesota

Inside drive vs TEX stunt.
Tackle steps lateral with the inside foot.
Eyes stay on the defensive end.

If the end loops, rip the three.
“Off, off, off” - guard bumps to the looper.

Pass the stunt clean and stay square.

[Ish Thomas @HoosierIsh]

Being talented doesn’t make you a great player.

According to Curt Cignetti, the real separator is how a player responds to coaching.

That reveals three types of players:

1️⃣ Inconsistent players

They take coaching on their own terms:

• Accept praise
• Resist correction

2️⃣ Good players

They take coaching when it’s given:

• Listen to feedback
• Apply it in practice

3️⃣ Great players

They seek coaching relentlessly:

• Self-scout constantly
• Ask for more correction

Talent sets the floor.

Your relationship with coaching determines the ceiling.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Nick Saban's definition of mental toughness.

"What does it take to break you?"

Not how loud you are.
Not how talented you are.
Not how confident you look.

It’s your response when things go wrong.

What breaks you?
