No,  actually, I was somewhat into my own martial arts period and just didn't give a shit about Karate or the Karate Kid.   In fact, imo karate is for kids.

If you're not watching this show, you're missing out!  It's awesome to have our own media production, and it's not some half-ass deal either.  They do a tremendous job and take you within the inner workings of the program.  I love it!  Youtube has so many cool things to watch...it's very easy to fall into a Youtube vortex and get lost for a couple hours.  hahaha

Speaking of good Youtube shows, if you guys haven't watched seasons 1 and 2 of "Cobra Kai", you are completely missing out.  I honestly thought the show would be a total joke, and I didn't give it a second thought, but when I saw that it basically had the highest review of any show ever on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, I gave it a shot.  Man, what a show!  If you're a nostalgia guy like I am, this show is for you.  I mean, who didn't love the Karate Kid when they were young, right?  ?

I didn't.

I'm posting this here because I refuse to make another thread about it.

It was pretty simple from the outset - he wasn't NFL talented.     This is/was nothing new.    Crouch, Tebow, Quinn, Weeden, etc etc.    All had the ability to work their offensive systems effectively at the collegiate level (Until they either faced Miami, Bama or tOSU)  but those short comings could not be masked at the pro level.

Anyone still shouting that Johnny had NFL talent probably wanted the pick and can't reconcile with the fact he just wasn't that good to begin with before you add in the partying.

OTAs

@ 9:20

Myles working with Chad Thomas on the finer points of how to hold his own playing his assingment.  Under (front) Closed (End. Usually strong side is closed) Left (side of the 3pt "closed" end)

This is veteran stuff from a young player and what you want from your locker room leaders.

edit:  This secondary can play.

Double edit: If you want an early impression on Greedy - check out 20:38.   His weight transfer from his dominant to non dominant side from the initial stance, while doing quite well at reading the release of Callaway.    At 20:39 if you freeze frame you'll see the "chair".    Weight distribution is even, shoulders ahead of himself, maybe just a hair too far back on his heels but he isn't overcommitting early and opening his hips in a way that would expose him back inside.  Then you see the flip, quick feet and (attempt) at a jab.     I like my DB's being more physical but the early returns on the technique look decent enough so far.      He has to remember he's taller than the average corner and quite a few receivers as well.  But he has to learn to not play so "high" on the receivers hip, if not completely out in front of him.   That hopefully will come in time.

I like what he said about defense being the heart of a championship team. He got that from Stallings at Bama who got it as a player and coach for Bear Bryant. 

I get that it's Wilks defense.. a) Wilks gets his guy, Al Holcomb as Browns LB coach  b.) Browns agree to keep 14 year DB coach Dewayne Walker.But is it not odd? or c.) Did Freddie hire Wilks DL coach Tosh Lupoi from Bama before Saban got a chance to fire him or demote him as DC? (now being reported) Lupoi assistant DL coach is also a 1st year nfl assistant from Nebraska John Parrella..Seems like a youth coaching move, up front, moving on from former DL coach Clyde Simmons..i also read.. it was Gregg Williams shutting down Myles on rushing techniques..I wonder what Clyde Simmons thought? Simmons is the coach still looking for a job..  

     Here's Episode 1..

Of course now you're seeing "popup blocker detected". Some sites won't even let you on unless you turn yours off.  Probably the worst offender is The Weather Channel. Waaahhh, ads pay for our weather people, like they don't get plenty of ad revenue already from the Cable TWC?   I relented for a day, turned Adblock off, and was immediately getting hit with targeted ads, & that's sort of scary. Even took the time to see if I could disable some of the outfits that supply targeted advertising, and found out you can't turn all of them off. Blocker went right back on. 

Yes for example on the Brave browser.. It wont let me watch Rectrum TV without making some sort of donation.. well fuck that.. I already pay Rectum nearly $200.00 a month for the shitty service they provide.... They get enough from me.. So I use another browser for that.. I'm also gonna pare down my service from Rectum in the Fall.... Or I may just dump them entirely...

You can also go to Brave.com and download they're browser.. It's very secure.. Kills all pop ups.. And it blocks all web page advertisements and it even bloks the stupid adds and commercials on youtube....

Oh well, I guess you can't always please everyone. Speaking of YouTube, I did the trial 90 days of their "YouTube Red" (access to all music, downloadable video rights, no ads ever, etc) and it's totally worth the measly $10 a month if you're a YouTube person, or if your kids are too. 

Ok, back on target. I think what I love the most about Building the Browns is we actually have several interesting players to follow, and I find myself wanting to know more about them as people. It really shines the "human light" on them. 

This is going to be the longest offseason ever, lol! 

That's where I've been watching it and I think it's kind of boring. But YouTube Red is a pretty good deal since you get Google Play Music along with it for your 10 bucks a month. (And yes streaming services do kind of suck for music but since Apple has screwed up the iPod so badly...)
