This guy says, "Hold my beer!"Continuing right along with my hugely tremendous ideas, I've also thought about how concussions might be minimized if they went back to softer helmets instead of harder ones, so players intuitively stop leading with their heads.
Hahaha look at that ref! "BOY! Where the...oh NO you ain't!!"This guy says, "Hold my beer!"
You know I have always hated the "play recognition" stuff: buckeye nuts and tomahawks on the helmets, take away chains and purses and even the scepter thing. When you make a big play, with the support of your teammates, act like that's what you're on the field for. "I am because We are" is the attitude I am looking for. When you intercept a pass, recover a fumble, or make a tackle for a big loss, its because the other 10 men on the field did their jobs too. Always felt that way about been there, done that ribbons on my uniform too.
There is actual science to validate this. Take away the face shields and hard shells and player naturally keep their heads up while making contact. Of course you wind up with the boxer's nose condition and scars like a Heidelberg fencing student.Continuing right along with my hugely tremendous ideas, I've also thought about how concussions might be minimized if they went back to softer helmets instead of harder ones, so players intuitively stop leading with their heads.
I've said that for years...think Rugy.
Watch ALL of this, and I dare you to still be on the fence about Billy Napier.
Look how he leads and loves his players, and they follow and and love him. They are so silent and attentive when he speaks, in the locker room. Look what he has built there. Look at the love of each other that he has inspired in them. If he didn't, who did? That's what a great coach does.
I was wrong to even question if he and his very Southern ways will be relatable to "urban" players in South Florida and elsewhere. He will do just fine with them. I said that before I had watched all the videos I've watched and read all the articles I've read. My only complaint is that the food in the re-education camp was NOT good.
Seriously I take back anything I said making fun of Sling Blade mhm hmmm. I reckon I want me some of them french fried potaters, and six or eight cans of that potted meat if you got any extra. I am all in. This is the just kind of coach we've been needing IMO.
