Family and football, simple as that. Make every day count.

@JL_Chapman From Canada, first game attempt since 2012. Been trying to get the whole family to a game! Trying to align school schedules… Probably Raiders or Eagles game. Thanks!!

[Mac Ansell @Mac20Attack]

@JL_Chapman I need your Niner game day knowledge. Looking at buying Niner tickets this year (5 seats). Price for Raiders games is like $700+ right now. Is that the best I should expect?

Great Linebacker coaches do these 3 things:

1. Simplify.

On the surface, Linebacker is a complex position. If you took a great athlete and just threw them into a game as a Linebacker, they’d be totally confused. They wouldn’t know where to look, they wouldn’t know how to move, they wouldn’t know how to finish. Great Linebacker coaches make the position simple.

2. Master the entire defensive scheme.

Linebackers are involved in everything. They stop the run, they cover the pass, they blitz the QB. Show the Linebackers how they fit into the entire defensive puzzle. It’ll help them make plays when things break down.

3. Teach.

Linebacker techniques are built step by step. Teach them what to do with their eyes, their feet, their hips, their hands, etc. Show them good teach tape so they can see what the techniques look like. Progress to faster drills with bigger pictures. Add some reaction and decision making to create game-like drills. Provide sharp, accurate coaching points to help them improve along the way. Great coaches are great teachers.

DB High Shoulder Drill

- Coaches should instruct defensive backs to eyeball the receiver's near hip to determine the route's direction.

- When a receiver's hip moves toward the defender, it indicates the route is rolling over or through, requiring the defender to close the space and attack the hip.

- If the receiver's hip moves away from the defender, it signals a vertical route that the defender must chase to reach the catch point.

- Defenders should maintain proper footwork and spacing, utilizing techniques such as the kickstep and punch during the play.

- Defensive backs must fight force with force by placing their hands on the receiver if the receiver's hands are on them.

- Players should be violent at the reception point to effectively knock the football away from the receiver.

Elite Linebackers understand LEVERAGE.

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.

@Tonysmarkettips I would like nothing more than to know if any other team was going to draft Black. That’s it, end of story

[Mac Ansell @Mac20Attack]

@MaioccoNBCS all of these picks could turn out to be very good players. With the same positions being picked as last year (or signed/traded), are they not admitting they are missing on player evaluations?

Awesome conversation. Covered many, many names. Including who the Browns/Cowboys like and dislike

It's been a long time, @dpbrugler

@ashaireonna @Ninercast Players are only a reach if they don’t pan out. Nobody is a guarantee! I believe Stribling can be a starter plus player. I would love to know if any other team was after Black!?! No point getting worked up for a year or two!Nobody knows :)

[Mac Ansell @Mac20Attack]

@MaioccoNBCS It would be fascinating to know more about the Niners draft board!! https://t.co/HzcYUZ6LI1 had him ranked as the 23rd back. They liked him, which is fine, but they actually believed another team was going to pick him in the next round or so? Can’t miss on these picks!

[Mac Ansell @Mac20Attack]

@PatrickWillis52 Exactly what we need - length and speed

[Mac Ansell @Mac20Attack]

@KP_Show I think that is something that really hasn’t been discussed yet - Martin’s ability to rush the passer with Morris as the new DC

[Mac Ansell @Mac20Attack]

@grantcohn I’m guessing it was the 100 million

[Mac Ansell @Mac20Attack]

@Tonysmarkettips And in his last year of his contract

[Mac Ansell @Mac20Attack]

@AlSacco49 6’2” with speed. Time will tell!

[Mac Ansell @Mac20Attack]

@Graham_SFN Is Young too much like Myles Williams?

[Mac Ansell @Mac20Attack]

@ChasingSnyder @StevePalazzolo_ They lost both starting CB’s. CB would be 1 or 3 on the draft board. Who are they kidding…
