Coach Leach used to say “all sacks are on the quarterback.”
As a player, that used to piss me off — because we all know that's not true. Sometimes the protection breaks down, a back misses a chip, or a tackle gets beat.
But looking back, it was great coaching!
It was about ownership and improving the situation.
If you’re a quarterback and you view every sack as being on YOU, you’ll look for ways to improve it:
-Change the play call.
-Adjust the protection.
-Check the ball down.
-Scramble.
-Throw it away.
But if you shrug it off as “the O-line’s fault,” you give your power away.
You can only improve when THEY do — and that keeps you stagnant.
The same principle applies in other area’s for QB’s.
A receiver drops a ball?
-Take ownership. Ask yourself: Did I have the right pace? Was it a good location? Was it the right read? Did I spend time with him after practice working that route?
A missed signal?
-Take ownership. Did I communicate it clearly? Did I hold an extra signal meeting?
When you take this mindset — “it’s on me” — you stay focused on how you can grow, not on who you can blame.
Now, bring that into your own field.
What are the “sacks” in your business, career, or relationships that you can start taking ownership of today?
Because ownership always leads to improvement — and excuses always lead to stagnation.

AJ Brown: “I think it’s fair to want the ball to get us going. Last week against the Rams, I caught a sluggo, got us going, next play it opened up Dallas Goedert when the safety came to my side and opened him up.. It’s not just for targets or putting numbers up. No. I see us struggling and I’m a guy that wants the ball in those times. When we can’t find a way, give the ball to me. Game on the line? Give the ball to me. I want that pressure. I work hard for it.. If that’s the misconstrued way you wanna take my frustration, I don’t care. My teammates know. And I want everybody in the stadium to know.”

If you play 25 school games, 40 AAU games, 8 live period hs games, 10 summer league games, and 10 fall leagues games. The a game every 3.9 days. And these are low numbers. How much sense does that make? You’re being shortchanged and don’t even know it.

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on in-bounds play: "I told our coaches that when they become head coaches, don't try to be the smartest guy in the room by drawing up a tricky play at the end of the game. Run something that you're practiced..You could tell our kids had run that play.
