Cardiff: You’re right and I have to laugh at those people that still cling to the Black versus White (Brian, that would be you) notions of football.

Speak with any sports physiologist or kinesiologist and actually educate yourself. Then watch some HS, college and pro ball and note the changing nature of the sport (from “run first” half a generation ago to “pass first to set the run” now). The move towards spread and open offenses (Texas Tech, Boise State) and multiple LB and DB defenses (West Virginia and The U) has fundamentally changed the sport and the athletes that play it.

It’s interesting you didn’t play football. I hear a lot of people mouthing off about their “understanding” of that sport and they generally don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.

Hey, CB, on another note: Do you know anything about running/speed coach Dan Basket? He hails from Carlsbad and is supposedly well regarded. My 11yo son, who plays OT and DE, is signed up in his speed and agility class (and, hey, he’s a white boy!).
