photo 50 of iMac w/ the poles
this is a generic tidbit, not sure what the specific drill is about, except to assume it’s a hip mobility/quad/glute/hammy stretch type. It would appear from the plant position of the poles being slightly behind his torso, that you would start more nearly upright and then slide your front foot further out on the blue foot pad thingy. No question that this photo shows extreme range of motion, and would be impossible to maintain w/o assistance of some sort, hence the sticks…

How often should I use the Training Sticks?
Stick Mobility can be practiced every day. The benefits of Stick Mobility transfer to performance training and everyday activities.
You can use Stick Mobility as a standalone training program or segmentally. It is a system that complements other training systems and sports.
Active stretching and flows can be integrated into your daily routine for warm-ups and recovery. Submaximal efforts can be used for pre-exercise activations on a daily basis. Daily active deep stretching will allow you to access increased ranges of motion and help strengthen your body over time.
Maximal effort isometrics (90-100%) can be done as a standalone workout, which requires optimal recuperation, as it fully fatigues the central nervous system. (Think of how often you would do maximal lifts in the gym.)
Maximal efforts for 1-2 exercises can be introduced per individual workout, but with a limitation of approximately 1-2 minutes of total contraction time. (This is a general guideline for maximal efforts as some people have exceptional capabilities and can handle more load and effort than most.)”

WHY STICK MOBILITY?
"The Stick Mobility Training Stick provides leverage which allows you to achieve positions and ranges of motion you wouldn’t normally be able to reach. It's been the missing link to my own personal mobility training."

Me too. I've rewatched the end of that game probably 10 times over the years. Here are some of my favorite memories:
1. If you loved Fred Jackson (and who among us didn't) this was him at his best. What a player, wasted on so many mediocre teams.
2. Hate Bellichik as much as you want (and I do), you have to hand it to him. What a great football mind. With all the hoo-ha around whether Fred's carry was a touchdown or not, once the referees made the call he knew right away that he needed to use an immediate timeout because the clock would start on the referee's ready signal. (Rich Gannon, in the booth, never had a clue why NE had taken the timeout.)
3. Chan Gailey was probably the best coach we had during the dark years.
4. First Bill win against NE since the Sam Adams/Lawyer Milloy game (31-0)
5. And best of all - four Brady interceptions including a pick-6.
Pretty sure your point#2 is incorrect. Seemed to that the ref threw that flag and took away the 2nd timeout because BB wasn’t able to deal with the ref’s explanations (presumably the question was the amount of time remaining). BB didn’t call a timeout there, the ref imposed it; Gannon’s confusion was over why BB would choose to argue so much.
Painful to be reminded of: Gronk, Welker and Brady even though it’s possibly one of his top five worst career games.
A great watch, Freddy, Fitz, Stevie, Jones…Kyle, Merriman, Florence, Scott, Byrd. Moorman & Lindell. Funniest to me was Mr. Stoner Dareus making his notable individual contribution by getting his head bonked with the ball….
And no, I haven’t managed to check anything off my list…kind of like a regular game day w/o the cocktails…

Curse you OP! I have a looong list of things that needed to be done weeks ago, and I just spent most of my morning on quarters 1-3…
Plenty of fun and pain to go around watching this… but mostly all I can think is Freddy Freddy Freddy, where are you now?, it would be so fun to have you here on this much better version of the Bills.He is such a joy to watch… I’m trying my best to put it aside and ‘accomplish something’, as my Mom would say.

Thanks OP, nice to get the heads up on good reads. I do have an Athletic subscription, but like all things media here, I lag behind you forward scouts…FWIW, if anyone is on the fence, get the subscription and ask questions later.
i, for one, would not have recalled that four LBs were taken in Round One of the 2018 draft, much less all their names and credentials since.
FireChans: Perhaps you’ve found a statistical anomaly worthy of mention, maybe even further discussion, but clearly you can’t resist your Generation X, Z, whatever inclination to be hopelessly snarky. C’mon, man….

After watching his interview with Pat McAfee, “I want a BBeane jersey” tormented me the rest of the day…

“Cade Otton - A solid looking TE who would seem to have a decent ceiling and a low floor.”
Is that what’s called ‘damning with faint praise’??-

How is Walker supposed to make an impact when the Bills were brutal at run blocking last year? And pass blocking. Josh was the most pressured QB in the league last year, including games where Bates started. Need to protect the 260 million dollar man.1. We’re talking here about this mock draft, not an overall philosophy of what wants to happen in reality. You’re proposing that taking the 12th most desirable OL in this mock is better than taking the 2nd RB…?
2. Saffold
3. Bates
4. Kromer
I don’t disagree with the notion that the OL making progress this year would be really really desirable. Just making what is to me the obviously sensible choice given the previous picks in this (very) hypothetical scenario…

I’m with at least a few here who have little to no familiarity with these names. That said, watching the highlights of Tyler Smith, he’s obviously big, strong, quick but even to me didn’t really look like a tackle prospect.
Kenneth Walker III, on the other hand, made my day. Call me simple, tell me I’m being my usual sucker for eye candy, whatever, but the notion of a possibly useful/future OL vs. an almost assured impact RB made it an easy vote. Glad I held off until I had some basis to vote…Edit PS: Motor has good eyes, quick moves, and is a tough nut when it counts, which I love him for. Walker looks to me like he is all of that, plus he brings a fluidity in his moves that reminds me of Fred Jackson…with speed that Devin/Freddie could only dream about.

IF they get Bradberry, that would maybe push CB to the 3rd round where they would have options like Alontae Taylor, Coby Bryant, Jalyn Armour-Davis or Josh Williams. It would still be a need, but would allow them to address IOL or WR in the 1st and 2nd. I really would love Zion Johnson if he’s there to solidify the offensive line even more. But if somehow Olave was there I’d want him. This is a pretty deep Oline class.
I “bought you a beer” not because I have any particular agreement with what you propose, but because at least you offered up options, names, etc. instead of vitriol and/or bombast…. Cheers!

It would seem to be a no-brainer, unless he looked awful last year. Did anyone here see/hear anything about his action in those two games he appeared in?

@Rhode Island Red Nah, they'd be battling over Utica Club; let's not give them too much credit, now.
Growing up we lived in northern Michigan in the summers; drank Stroh’s cuz they didn’t have Labatt’s up there yet. Dollars to donuts that Ralph drank Stroh’s, though.
If I’ve ever had a UC it was probably someone else’s that I picked up by mistake…

This BETTER be for the minimum. So sick of paying marginal special teams players big money for little contribution
You and Ralph would’ve been great belly up to the bar, arguing over who pays for the next $3 round of Stroh’s…

Aaron Donald is totally cosmic. (I know, stop the presses…)
In spite of the years of accolades, I now see for myself (for the first time) how he makes playing DLine look like eating cotton candy…

If this were a regular season game, we would all have turned it off by now… booooorrrrring.

The ***Pats left McKenzie uncovered for a lot of that game, keeping two high safeties in order to stop the big plays. It didn't work out for them. If they try to cover him up close to the line of scrimmage, that is only going to give another receiver an advantage. If they attempt to play zone, Beasely can take over the game. They should put Beasley and McKenzie on the field at the same time. Josh can determine whether it's zone or man presnap. If it's zone, throw to Beasley. If it's man, throw to McKenzie. Can't stop this. If they attempt some weird kind of coverage scheme, there is Diggs, Sanders, Knox and Davis. And the threat of the run. NE is going to get schooled. The NFL has become a passing league. Even the rules overwhelmingly protect the passing game. NE is very much under the gun here. Wouldn't surprise me if Sanders has a big game this time. NE very much wanted stop Diggs last game and as a result, McKenzie went off. They just can't cover every scenario. I see NE attempting to disguise what type of coverage and play a mixture of zone and man. I think they'll send pass rushers after Allen this time. Thing is, they just don't have enough talent to stop what is coming.
Wish I could “buy” you two beers for this post…!

Well I know it's not being shown in Boston because the Pats play the same time.
And, our eternal problem with games in the same slot as NE is that going to the (increasingly rare) bar that has NFL Ticket just guarantees hanging with a crush of (largely unmasked) Cheats fans.≥. Two weeks in a row of ‘watching’ the pathetic ESPN GameCast…sigh.

SO much better on the short stuff offensively

Well, thanks for asking the question and posting the pics! It sure looks like an effective system, one that I’d not seen before. Would love to try it, so I’ll get right onto losing a third of my body weight, so they don’t have to use a crane to get me back to standing…
