Pass protection is built on discipline, technique, and trust in your fundamentals. Offensive linemen do not win reps by lunging or overpowering defenders every snap. They win by staying square, playing with balance, using independent hands, and keeping light, controlled feet throughout the rep. One of the biggest coaching points in pass protection is staying square and not “opening the door” for the pass rusher. Once an offensive lineman turns their shoulders or opens their hips too early, they create an inside lane and give the defender a direct path to the quarterback. Staying square allows linemen to stay patient, react to movement, and maintain leverage throughout the rep. Independent hands are another major key to successful pass protection. Do not throw both hands at once. Strike with the outside hand to control and disrupt the rusher while stabilizing with the inside hand to maintain balance and positioning. Throwing both hands together can cause overextension, poor balance, and open the chest for counters. Great offensive linemen stay patient with their hands and constantly re fit and replace throughout the rep. Light feet are what tie everything together. Quick, controlled footwork helps linemen mirror rushers, stay in phase, and maintain the integrity of the pocket. Heavy feet lead to leaning, crossing over, and getting beat late in the down. The best pass protectors consistently: ✅ Stay square ✅ Protect the inside first ✅ Use independent hands ✅ Keep a strong base ✅ Play with light feet ✅ Finish every rep Pass protection is not just about blocking a defender. It is about protecting the quarterback, maintaining pocket integrity, and winning with technique snap after snap.

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Super Bowl 🏆 Champ and Hall of Famer @EReed20 on accountability as a teammate, respecting the game, and "how you do everything, is how you do anything" is pure leadership cinema: 🛒 The way you do the small things is the way you’ll do the hard things. Championship habits live in the details people naturally overlook. It’s returning the shopping cart, cleaning your locker, putting your clothes where they belong, not because someone told you to, but because respect is a standard you carry, not a rule you follow. Those “little things” trickle into your preparation, your performance, and your outcomes. 🛶 Your habits are not a personal choice, they’re a team obligation. Someone is always downstream from your discipline. When you’re consistent, you make the people around you better. When you’re careless, you make their job harder. That’s what accountability really means. 🟰 Standards are the great equalizer. Draft status, contract, role... it doesn’t exempt you from the work. Belonging to something bigger means we all meet the same bar, every day. Not because it’s fair, but because it’s necessary to be champions. The 2013 @Ravens standards were the invisible and unspoken contract of their team: honored in the quiet of their smallest habits, revealed in the chaos of gamedays, and ultimately the difference between a group that just shared a locker room and one that now shares a LEGACY. 🏆

Love this brother… and it goes for every situation we face in life, even on the surface when we want to point finger or it appears to be MORE about someone else… ALWAYS asking “What could I have don’t differently or better to avoid what just happened”? What they call “Extreme Ownership”!! If I’m in a position of leadership I must 1st ask - did I cover that situation with them? Did I cover every angle? Did I think about every detail? Did I express concerns I had? Was there a blind spot in the plan that I didn’t foresee? It could be something in practice to clean up a rep, to get on the same page, to discuss a protection call, etc… Human Nature wants to DEFEND US and point finger at another - Extreme Ownership points back at us and says, “If another didn’t execute like I wanted, what did I not cover to allow this to happen”? I will learn, address and not let it happen again!!

Recently our PAA A. Wagoner retired. We appreciate the hours he gave to WEHS. We are happy to say that Scott Thompson will be taking over when WKU/ESPN duties don't conflict. We are happy to have his experience to enhance our events for our athletes/fans. @WCPSAthletics_
