“Yes men” don’t build mastery or winning programs—they build comfort. Real success comes from surrounding yourself with people who push you, challenge you, and force you to grow.

Couldn’t have explained Man Match any better than that. The attention to detail is key, if you understand surfaces and leverage then it can even the playing field against more skilled opponents. The fun is getting high schoolers to flip between the different disciplines.

Some DC’s like Brian Flores prefer looking different before every snap then rotating after. Others like Christian Parker prefer looking the same before every snap then rotating after. —2 high safety’s at equal depth —CB’s in 0 leverage alignment Both systems work. But Parker’s in theory is much more simplified as it’s easier to consistently rotate high to low juxtaposed to backpedaling We’ll explain this more in depth soon.

The problem with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.

Emphasis on the "motor" aspect. Feel like that term is genuinely applied to undersized "try hards". In this case, it's the reason he is on pace to shatter tackle records at the DL position for DLS. Season's just beginning 99, or 70, or w/e # you choose to wear next week 🤔
