Nice use of the stiff arm too.

My son is 13, plays corner in middle school. He's already got the title as a "shutdown" corner. And his coach told me he hasn't seen a corner with his speed and hips in his 18 years of coach.

They didn't throw to my son's side too much because he's an interception machine. Of course, they don't throw all that much in middle school anyway.

Maybe my son and risco's sons will end up playing for the Cowboys someday. :)

Wow- already a shut down corner. People don't understand the importantance of good hips. It means the world for a skill position player. If they'd end up playing for Dallas, I think we both would be two very proud and happy Dads.

Hey Everyone-

My Boys are coming to Dallas to participate in the Offense - Defense All American Youth Bowl to be played in Cowboys Stadium. I can't wait. It will be my first time at the new stadium. Check out their highlight below- both are RBs but they play a little defense too.

Isaiah 13yr, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQLL_...feature=relmfu

Thank you all for your kind words. It really means a lot to me that you took the time to view the highligh and provide comments. I will certainly do the same for you.

You welcome. I looked at both. They both had good skills and movement. And their tackling form is excellent.

I just got to get my kid fatter. He's rather thin. He'll probably top 5'11, which is excellent size for a corner. But he doesn't like to eat like my younger son, who's not into sports.

It's late, I'm still up because I can't sleep, so how about a scouting break down for you? This is probably all stuff you already know, as you get to watch them everyday, but I'll offer it up anyway.

Isiah's game is pure speed. He's faster than just about anybody who steps on the field with him. He's not particularly powerful but you aren't gonna get him down with an arm tackle either. His vision is about average for his age group. Looks like a guy who will excel until the speed catches up with him. Unless he's Chris Johnson, there will come a point where he's not just that much faster than everyone else and then he'll need to have developed other skills to continue being a star. **Note** That doesn't mean he's a bad player. He could likely parlay that speed into a very nice role at virtually any level. Just that he'll need other parts to his game to continue being a "star".

Josh is the better runner of the two. He's not as fast, but he's both more elusive and more powerful. He also has excellent vision for someone in his age group. He's the kind of kid that if properly developed, could hit the big time some day. When he starts playing in more pass-centric offensive schemes, you make damn sure he doesn't ignore the pass protection side of being a RB. Being an excellent pass protector will exponentially accelerate how quickly he gets on the field each time he makes a jump in competition level.


Both of the little guys have got a ton of "want to", which is more than half the battle at their age. Both seem like little football playing dudes! And both appear to have well above average football IQs for their age group, I'm sure that can be attributed to their influence. It looks like you've raised a couple exciting to watch football players, you should be proud. Let us know how they do at the Youth Bowl.

Thanks Couchscout- your assessment is in line with mines. Joshua has been playing RB since he was 4- Isaiah, on the other hand, has been playing RB for 2 years, so he has a lot to work on as do Josh. Again, thank you.

I remember when I was younger we played a lot of the teams in your sons videos!

Georgia Youth Football is where it's at. A lot of teams with great coaching.

Congrats on your childrens success!
