Annually, at this time of the year, a couple of things are bound to happen for me during the training of my NFL players: -A lot of ideas swirl around my head on the daily. Some of these ideas are good…others pretty bad. Some are theoretical…while some are immediately applicable. Some are logical…and more are…
Introduction It’s time…Super Bowl LI is just a few days away. And for most football fans it can’t come soon enough. Both inside and outside of the football world it is a bonafide national holiday.

Year in and year out, the Mover of the Year blog post ends up being my favorite one to write. Many people may think it’s relatively easy to select the recipient of the award but in reality it gets relatively nerve-wrecking because it’s something that to me I just have to get right! Because of…
Picking up where we left off yesterday, we now come to our 2016 All-Movement Team for Defense and Special Teams.

Game: Panthers at Seahawks Play: Rawls roaring again What makes this the BTS Play of the Week? It’s hard to believe that we are already in the last quarter of the season. The time when player movement skills sometimes start to get a little more sloppy as the human organism tries to find ways to…
