it’s called ROBOT (roll over and back) technique. The linebacker’s first responsibility is run, and if once he sees pass he backpedals he’ll never get there so he’s taught to turn and run and find crossers. He doesn’t get there but not “completely lost”

Incredibly momentous for football that Mike Leach has passed away. It is no understatement whatsoever to say that Leach fundamentally changed football forever, and I am not sure there was any more influential coach in the last 40 years, when you include high school and college.🧵
Patrick Mahomes has been a starting QB in the NFL for six seasons, during which time he:
- has been to four Super Bowls, and won three
- has never finished worse than the AFC title game
- won the division in all six seasons
- has an 83% (!) playoff winning percentage
bananas

purdue DB chris jefferson just picked off a pass, ran it back 72 yards for a touchdown, and then promptly vomited on the sideline. college football is back, baby
barry was unbelievable, and his 1988 heisman season just remains totally bananas. look at the stats - he ran for over 300 yards in a game four separate times! (and another with 293!)
