Pe@ce,

I hope you are speaking ironically and have nothing but good things to say about whats the guys' name again?

For example, after taking ballet, the football players experienced fewer groin injuries. This, ballet instructors know, is because turnout strengthens small muscles in the hips and pelvic area, and it increases the range of motion in a dancer’s hips. And, because dance training makes football players more aware of their pelvic positioning while crouching, they become less likely to experience injury."

Exactly... If I had these guys, they'd NEVER pull a hamstring...or groin muscle... Jeez I hate that...but I'm trying... It's all time constraint...but aside from balance and coordination, also what I teach is maximizing your power, finesse, and emptying one side into the other...also absorbing...

Please.

If KO, McNeil, etc invited you over tomorrow morning for waffles, you'd be all about it.

And you'd run a quickly as you could to these forums "GUYS, You'll never guess who I just had waffles with!!!"

Yeah, until you pull a groin, you never really understand why it is important to work on these muscles. They can really hamper your career.

I'm sorry you hate it...but Kassim is getting MANY more RECEIVER reps than he has in YEARS in practice, and I've never seen him more focused. He even went to bed early tonight......That is shocking in and of itself...

You just DON'T get it, do you... Kassim DOESN'T want to leave San Diego...but he just wants to play receiver...SOME... If he can show his worth the REST OF THE SEASON...I'm HOPING the CHARGERS will make him an offer he can't refuse, cuz we will drop in ST without him next year... We will be in disarray, because NOONE on our team can step right into his shoes, and take his place there as captain or on the field...and another thing... He isn't fragile, loves contact, and is NOT slowing down...

He IS game planned for...and those are the facts and CANNOT be disputed.

Plus, he's gonna have the entire off-season living with me, and training my system of Kung Fu'... Believe me, he will be a force to be reckoned with, even more than he currently is.


That said... OFFICIALLY... IT IS THIS...

2 receiver set... Vince and Malcom
3 receiver set... Vince and Malcom and Legz
4 receiver set... Vince and Malcom and Legz and Kassim

OR...

If Vince needs a breather... Legz
If Malcom needs a breather... Kassim

Buster is taking Kassim's role as depth only...

THESE ALSO ARE THE FACTS AND CANNOT BE DISPUTED...

Why should we take these as facts from you? I see no reason to believe anything you have said til i see it.

I actually thinks doing stunts is more exciting than football...so I don't know where the hero worship comes from. I mean, I'm 42 years old, and I've risked my life for your entertainment COUNTLESS times, for 21 years...and NO, that's not to say I'm someone special...but being in the entertainment industry for as long as I have, and doubled who I've doubled, and who I've rolled my eyes at...hero worship? Uh, nope... I've broken more bones than you can imagine, and have had 14 legitimate concussions. I have to have both my knees and shoulders replaced, and I have 3 herniated discs in my back... If it wasn't for 37 years of Kung Fu', I'd be in a wheelchair... My daughters FORCED me to retire... So, the last thing I do is worship anyone...let alone football players. I simply have their backs with the facts... Nothing more, nothing less...

Heck, my chiropractor is on my Christmas list, and I have a permanent fixture, which is my backswing, in my bedroom.

I'm just a passionate person, but I'm sorry if it comes off as hero worship.

I did a martial arts tournament, and during a kumite' match, I dropped into a drunken monkey stance, and stepped on my sash, and when I went to shift my weight, my foot slipped, and I tore my groin muscle, and oh did it burn... I was done for the year. I was 16... NEVER again... I never shortcutted my calestenics again...EVER...

How dare you fools hijack buster's thread! Anyway, it'll be interesting to see if he makes the active roster on game day or they use the spot for another position that suffers from some walking wounded.

Ah yes. Never believe anything you hear, only half what you see... unless it comes from your own mouth.

Fine, don't believe him. Jump right to he's a BSer. That's the mantra of half this board. That, I don't get.

I've seen a Science Channel show recently about an inventor who has developed a machine that stretches and lengthens the groin and hamstring by exercising them in a certain way, and they showed how the Aussie Rules football team that used it have had virtually none of those injuries since they started.

The theory is that most of those injuries come from the muscle and related tissues being too short for the strains athletes put on them and a program of muscle lengthening exercises (as opposed to just stretching) prevents most of these injuries from happening. As I understand, this is what Buster's surgery was meant to correct.

Given how much money is invested in pro athletes these days, I am surprised they don't already have this down to a science and in use everywhere. Maybe if they were race horses instead of humans ...

Hey John... I listed the depth chart only, and then it spiraled... Arright, maybe perhaps it could be said that I elaborated a bit...but I didn't cause the spiral...

What I've been TOLD thus far, is that we ARE going with FOUR receivers on Sunday...sans Craig...

The funny part was always hearing everyone ask you not to hurt them before you showed them something

But...thanks for the vote of confidence... (without the beer)

I want everyone at their keyboards to try something... Square your shoulders, elongate one arm out, completely parallel to the floor. Now, put all your strength into it. You cannot feel the muscles tightening in your pecs, or back... Now, roll your elbow in downward and inward... If you feel your pecs and back tightening, you've done it right...and now you're using those muscle groups on your push-offs, if not, you're not, and you're using less strength on your push-offs, and that's just basics... It goes a lot further than that...

So piecing that together sounds like DD gave an improptu demo and lesson, maybe while tailgating? Sounds great. Would be jealous but with now both elbows needing repair I'm kinda frail now. Anyway, I've been wondering about using martial arts in football since he brought it up at the denver game, I can imagine how it'd help in many cases, I guess players are too caught up in their own specialized football training they have to do, and as BB mentions football is a relatively new sport and still evolving quickly.

For what it's worth (just another guy on a message board I guess) I can also say that while DD writes some wild stuff, he's honest from everything I've seen. By the way, thanks again man

yeah would make sense

(was j/k about the hijack of course, this is all relevant about the final WR rotation spot(s), the OP just happened to focus on Buster)
