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.

@CoachTatum90 Appreciate you taking the time! Always great to talk ball & get better.

[Jacob Milligan @CoachjakeOL]

Any OL coach that’s wants to start a groups chat where we just talk OL play and bounce ideas off each other and build friendships and talk junk to each other and just be OLineman please DM your number!!!! Retweet to spread the word!! OL coaches of any level!

[Matt Holmes @mattholmes71]

A2: #1 non negotiable, communication pre-snap or in stance. Can’t play or be successful as a unit without it #hogfbchat

[Matt Holmes @mattholmes71]

Weight distribution/balance, base and eyes. #hogfbchat

[Tony Shiffman @CoachShiffman]

Q2: What are your non-negotiables when it comes to stance (weight distribution, hand placement, pad level, etc.)? #Hogfbchat

[Matt Holmes @mattholmes71]

At the HS level it’s important to allow your guys to be comfortable, without compromising completely. Must have power angles/proper bend and balance. 2pt or 3pt have to have this. Eyes and shoulders square. Can’t “bird dog” or be “cattie wampus” as my old coach said #hogfbchat

[Jack Dingus @CoachDingus]

Q1: How do you teach the IDEAL OL Stance for both run and pass without tipping plays? #hogfbchat

“There’s no such thing as a perfect photo”

Yea, okay buddy…

[Hayden Winks @HaydenWinks]

The Broncos have pretty much swapped WR Jaylen Waddle for DT John Franklin-Myers this offseason. The rest of the roster is the same.

The best top-to-bottom in the AFC.

It's over!! Hail to the red, white, and blue!! 🇺🇸🏒🥇

@CoachShiffman A4: simple answer- weight room and wrestle. This is a start in offseason.
Develop footwork, strength and flexibility.
In season, it’s easy to shuffle them aside and forget the young guys. Need commitment to daily fundamentals and don’t overwhelm them with the game.

[Matt Holmes @mattholmes71]

@CoachShiffman A3: 1) position specific fundamental development. (coaching QB’s)
2) zone/power/duo concepts (been a while (my HS/college days)
3) studying pre snap shifts/motions and formation variations
4) HC/system development

[Matt Holmes @mattholmes71]

@Coach_Adam_Mac Communication is critical! If everyone is on same page, play has a chance even when it is “wrong”

[Matt Holmes @mattholmes71]

@CoachShiffman A2: 1) Don’t find yourself watching the play. Buy a ticket to the game if so. Should be engaged at LOS or working to next level to find work.
2) Results over excuses! Mistakes happen- look to improve not justify.
#hogfbchat

[Matt Holmes @mattholmes71]

@CoachShiffman A1: Pass pro rules depend on the call. Type of protection and help from backs or TE built into play call.
Slide - Uncovered starts slide- lock last man - back help or tag route
Fire pro- (quick game)attack man on to inside gap
Sprint- secure play side gap and hinge

I know the Super Bowl halftime shows have been talked about, and makes people feel some kind of way. I love that people have options. And personally I loved hearing the name of Jesus at halftime.
