No podcast, no twitter, no nothing.

You are going to have to do better than that.

I don't have to do anything.

Go back to telling us how Jamie Foxx is a bigger Hollywood star than John Wayne.

Dez is a punk.

John Wayne was iconic. Not every actor/or actress gets that during or after their lifetime.

WIKI PAGE -
"Wayne was among the top box office draws for three decades."

"Wayne's enduring status as an iconic American was formally recognized by the U.S. government in the form of the two highest civilian decorations.

On May 26, 1979, he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.

Wayne was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom."

Of course you don't have to do anything. You don't have to back your word but when you take this tactic to most people is makes you seem full of ****. This is doubly so when someone does do something and shows contrary evidence as I did.

Fisher tends to post any stray sports thought he has yet in all of his tweets referencing Jaylon he never says what you claim. It is what it is.

As for Fox, I never said that. This is exactly what I was talking about when I said you make crap up.

What I said was that Wayne reminded me of Kevin Costner with his range in acting, he plays only one character, and that even Denzel Washington, who has 3 different characters in his range, was a better actor.

You took that latter part and have gone a racist rampage ever since. How dare I say a black actor is better than the Duke!

Ah lawd....please...someone....anyone but me ask him how he knows this?

Really going down this road again?

You don't appear to live in Dallas. If not, you have no clue what you're talking about.

Run along and build up some credibility around here. Until then, I'm not interested in what newbie poster's opinion.

Mature response. Sorry to touch a nerve.

Don't mind X he's Mr. I know everything and you know nothing. Look at his Dez bs and the bs in this thread

This dude dances around better then Marty Mcfly being shot at by Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen in Back to the future 3.

Since we're over analyzing everything, I'd like to point out that little hop at the beginning of the drill. Bad technique. That means he wasn't balanced.

John Wayne would easily kick everyone's *** here, especially the easily triggered snowflakes.

Vicarious interwebs tough guy. Nice.

I said I didn't think he was a good actor months ago on a different forum and people still come after me here because of it.

Triggered indeed.

With a name like Marion, he better be tough. LOL, just ask The Boy Named Sue.

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not so for the sake of caution I have to disagree with you. A little hop is some thing athlete's across the sporting landscape do to begin movement. Case in point, Dunstin Pedroia the second baseman for the RedSox and arguably the best defensive 2nd baseman in MLB. He does the exact same thing on every single pitch to get him ready to go whichever direction he needs to go. Watch almost any professional tennis player receiving serve. They hop to activate their fast twitch muscle fibers so they can move in either direction that the serve goes.

If you were being sarcastic then disregard this post

I was being serious. If you are not balanced and connected to the ground with both feet, you are slower. If your second baseman is hopping, I'm sure it's during the pitch and not at the moment he reacts. During cone drills, false steps and hopping are bad. These drills are for speed. The only technique in coverage that hopping would be ok in would be "catch" technique. That's not what this drill was for.

Sorry, just being truthful. A lot of newbies come here just to start arguments. I can't go back with forth with each one on trivial issues.

Once somebody has been around long enough, then the board generally knows if they're legit posters are just trolls. Trolls have become much better at pretesting to be legit these days so it takes time to really know about new posters.

FWIW

You're killing me. I'm explaining to you drills and technique and you are posting videos of a different sport. I guess linebackers all across America are doing it all wrong. They should be hopping around and learning from the Red Sox second baseman. Imagine how good Sean Lee will be when he reads this thread and corrects his technique.

Yikes.

Was that your monkey? Did Dez steal it?

Will never understand your hate for a consistently productive player who had a bad little run with lower leg injuries and has had to deal with a run first offense quarterbacked by a 4th round rookie adverse to throwing downfield.

LOL... you are funny, and feisty! I posted that because in your response to my first post you mentioned that you were sure he was hopping during the pitch got to the batter not as it was getting there. I was just pointing out that your suggestion was incorrect. I originally talked about baseball players and tennis players doing this very thing so that they could react instantly to the direction of the shot/hit. It does not in any way slow you down, but instead it helps you "load" and explode.

The reasons it isn't ideal in football is that:

1- the snap is varied so it is harder to "time" than something like a pitch or a serve.
2- plays are slower developing than a hit ball so there is more reading then reacting as opposed to pure reaction.

Finally, for the reasons I just mentioned, most players are already moving their feet when they explode which does exactly what that video depicts. It helps them "load" their weight and explode.

No need to get upset, my point originally is that a "hop" is not indicative of a player being out of balance as you originally stated. It is instead a way of loading, and in a drill like he is running it is perfectly acceptable.

No. He was too fat.

I'm also sorry that your father didn't hug you enough in childhood for you to say such awful things about other human beings.
