I don't know how many of you guys watch "Hard Knocks" but I picked up a useful motivational line last night. One of the players was complaining about working hard in camp and LB coach Mike Vrabel said, " This isn't work. Work is what your father does. Work is what your grandfather did'. Used it today and they bought it. You have to know when to use a line. Yesterday was our last day of 2-a-days. We have a scrimmage tomorrow. Today, they had all day off until the one hour walk-through at 5 PM.

Love it, but the school I coach at that line isn't as applicable. Part of our challenge and success is instilling a sense of discipline and hard work where kids have had no good examples growing up.

None of your kids' parents have jobs working in manufacturing, mining, farming, construction, restaurant kitchens, or as a nurse, firefighter, military personnel, mechanic, etc? |

Some of our kids do many of our kids dont. A good line that appeals to some while annihilating many others is a bad line in that circumstance. Were I at another school I might use it. |

One of the best coaching moves that I've ever heard of was by a hockey coach. When Don Cherry was coaching the Bruins his team sleep walked through a lackluster performance. Cherry didn't even go to the locker room. He just left a message on the blackboard, "Practice: 9 AM". When they showed up they found another message, "Practice postponed to 5:30 PM".
When they came back, Cherry had a very short meeting where he told them, "How'd you like that traffic? People who work for a living do that every day. See you tomorrow".

So disappointed.
Here I was thinking that FINALLY, for the first time in the history of interweb football coaching message boards, somebody was actually going to claim that they have a GREAT OL as opposed to a slow, weak, passive and undersized one.
What a bummer dude.

Big & quick. 6'2" 190 TE or smaller as 2 of our 3 TEs are battling injuries 6'0" 195 RT has great flexibility & quickness 6'5" 320 RG probably the 10th fastest guy out of all 50 in the program...a bit of a freak! 6'1" 200 C probably the best overall football player & also our starting MLB 5'9" 270 LG is a human sized bowling ball 6'2" 215 LT who plays as hard as anyone on our team, but is slowed a bit by a knee injury from last year Good luck to you too! And these guys love to do the work needed to have fun playing this great game. |

Since it came up:
TE 6'2 210 SR
RT 6'5 290 SR
RG 6'2 270 SO
C 6'2 260 SO
LG 6'2 315 JR
LT 6'2 260 JR
It's a work in progress but the pieces are really fun to work with. They're all smart. The Sophs need a WTF now and then.

TE 6'2 230 SR
RT 6'2 280 JR
RG 5'10 230 JR
C 6'1 250 SR
LG 6'3 270 JR
LT 6'1 295 SR
The TE, RT, and C are returning starters, the other 3 are very talented. I expect it to take some time but if they work like their dads and grandfathers they should turn out really good.

I have three varsity wrestlers on my DLine right 2 heavyweights and a 185...the 185 is my DE and is the best of em all. My Mac is also a wrestler. I would put him a nose in passing situations if I had a good 3rd LB
