All the 5* and 4* kids are given scholarships before their senior years. Some before their junior years.We didn't let the kids play until HS. Broken ankle, torn ACL/MCL and they each missed a year. I have no problem with the the path we took. The one recruited (to smaller schools) chose to skip college ball, and we are VERY thankful. We had tuition covered. Done deal. If you NEED it, a different set of circumstances.
I disagree completely. The best athletes can show up late, especially in football. POY, Honorable mention all state. My kids showed up late and dominated. They played EVERY sport, and the best kids are just the best. Maybe YOU needed the extra work, but the facts say otherwise. Hell, look for HOF TE's who played college basketball.
Don't say YOU MUST HAVE NEEDED EXTRA WORK LOL
I received a scholarship to Syracuse before my senior year began and all my teammates who received scholarships with me played since at least 14
Most 17 year olds don't pick up football and succeed
I also played varsity basketball and baseball so I know all about versatility
There are anomalies in every sport but that's what they are , anomalies.
If you want Tom Brady, you are playing QB since you can run, not at 17

There's not going to be any tackle football below high school level, IMO.
I was talking to a retired NFL player not long ago whose son played in the NFL too for a few years and he said he would never consider having kids play tackle football until they're 17.
You will never be able to develop the players like they should be developed then. The quality of the game will go down so much that the NFL will not be the premier sports league in the US.
How can kids be developed to play college football at a high level if the first time they play contact football is when they're a junior in HS? You can't.
Playing contact football from age 5 on like I did may not be smart but they need to start by modified or 7th grade, 14 years old. That gives them plenty of time to learn correctly while developing their bodies for football correctly

No
College football has been a cash cow for 100 years now
-
Kicker?
I've seen a kicker break his nose.
Break his leg
And been trucked
Hell of a lot safer than any other position but one day it will still be only you between the end zone and a sprinting Christian mccaffery or David Johnson lol
-
Definitely. There isn't a safe position in football.Damn, that sucks man. I've "seen stars" multiple times but never got a concussion that I'm aware of. The only major injury I had playing football was a fairly minor knee injury. I actually got hurt worse playing baseball, hockey, & running track (I blew out my hip).
As for qb, my high school qb got an awful concussion and it seems like a position that can suffer some major head injuries.
Great post. Honestly, college football becomes a job and that sometimes is worse than the physical pain.
I think you have to let your kids choose themselves. As you said, football teaches/ reveals character. I see no point in pop warner football as a kid. Flag and 7-7 leagues are enough until high school.
But as a CB and return man and occasional scat back I took a beating. Wouldn't want my kid being a RB.
Seen lots of blown out hips and injuries in track. Rough

Jones wins.
Lesnar can't take a punch and covers up once they come toward him. Jones will absolutely pick apart standing up and Lesnar isn't quick enough to take him down.
My initial feelings were Brock cannot take the heat as well and folds
But if it somehow got to the ground it be interesting
-
After Jon jones reclaimed his LHW title in the UFC he decided to call out behemoth Brock lesnar to a fight. Saying " if you want to know what it's like to get your ass kicked by someone 40LBs lighter come me meet me in the octogan"
Jon Jones is the #1 P4P MMA fighter in the world but would be going up against the biggest and strongest fighter of his life.
Does his technical Muay Thai , and unoththodox striking over come the behemoth or would Lesnars brute strength and weight be the deciding factor?
Your feelings?
-
The man got over a potted plant AND a metal clipboard. He truly is the GOAT.
Stupid idiot!
-
I suffered 10 concussions playing D1 ball and I know I suffer from CTE.
My life is fine and my Long term memory is great but my short term is shot... not to mention the ear ringing and fogginess
But I would never take back playing the game I love to the highest degree I could achieve
If my child wants to play, I'll let him but probably push him toward the QB position
-
I like the little headline above the story. "Patriots star sent home for fighting a teammate".
Edelman = star
Gilmore = JAG
JAG who happens to be wayyyy richer than Edelman and the 3rd highest paid on the team lmao
Can see why Edelmans upset ha
-
Yep
Honestly you know Edelman is a hot head **** talker
-
Dont we also have a FB now that can run a catch a little bit as well?
Yep
Look a few posts above this.
I have another Texas cocept where the FB runs the route.
Should be deadly
-
This is a nice Texas concept to get DiMarco or Tolbert involved
-
flat plays are great for the red zone too, you can get hte LB caught up in traffic and its dimarco/tolbert vs a corner at the goalline.
Yep.
I was brought up on old split back offenses and the right FB is a killer in the short passing game
-
usually he runs in the flat, but in man coverage you can get a LB turned around easily doing this.
Definitely
The typical Play to the FB is spider 2 Y banana or whatever lingo you want to use
But if you switched his flat route to an angle you might catch overzealous LBrs out of position
-
Yeah - i wouldn't be surprised to see dimarco run a similar concept on a PA too.
Yes, u can run the Texas out of I Form or Dual Back shotgun to the FB
Fake the draw while the FB runs the angle
-
Clay isn't a tradionally huge TE, so why not use a true blocking TE type to spring 1, 2, or even 3 players off either end of the line?
Well clay is a very good blocking TE so leaving him inline still disguises the play as a run or pass. If you flex him I would think it would tip the defense off to a pass
-
Hit em short. Him em short again and again. Then throw the pump and go...EXACTLY the type of intuitive and creative stuff Dennison is capable of to speed things up and shorten TT's field progression time IMO....if that mantra works to make this offense threatening when called upon, the TT long ball will be there for the taking, which he does well....stay tuned............
Classic
-
I think Tom Rathman was the FB on that 49er team.
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CraiRo00.htmI think Tom Rathman was the FB on that 49er team.
Craig is listed as a FB for all his big receiving years
-
i know who roger Craig isIf you want to see what shady can do, look up Roger Craig.
And he was a FB in that offense if I recall correctly
-
A staple of the Dennsion offense is the Texas concept.
The concept of this route tree is to have your tight end inline and have him push vertically up the seam while the HB runs a short angle route underneath him in the unoccupied space.
Charles clay and McCoy are the perfect TE / HB combination for this concept and it will wreck opposing defenses this season. It is basically an addition to the run game as it is a quick rythem play designed to get the ball into playmakers hands as soon as possible
The diagram below runs it with an out but the concept is the same
Shady can easily have 60+ catches
-
the Packers were shopping him during the draft and apparently are still doing so. He had a decent grade last year. Wonder what the asking price is
Ill Pass on brent hundley because we already have 3QBs we are trying to develop in TT, CJ, and Peterman
-
While I thought we needed a longer corner to go opposite Darby, Tra'davious White is an excellent ball player that I believe will surpass Darby as a CB
While he may not possess the blazing 4.3 time of Darby, he has had experience playing on an island, off ball, press, cover 3
He sees the ball well and knows when to break it up and when to go for the pick
Selfless team first player. Which IS EXACTLY what we need around here
Great ST player who will add value in the punt return and gunning game
Trading down , getting an extra 1ST AND the most experienced battle tested corner in the draft was a move I will applaud
In 10 years...

Sure we all know about Antonio gates and other freakish athletes but that's what they are.
Go to a 5a school in Texas and see how many kids start playing as a junior. Like zero. It's a religion down there and they pump out the best recruits year in and out along with Florida , California and some others.
Your kids are great athletes , they adapted fast. But MOST KIDS ARENT GREAT ATHLETES
