More amazing to me is how gifted and athletic you have to be as a cornerback. Covering these ridiculously athletic/fast men while traveling backwards and having no advanced knowledge of exactly what they're doing. The best athletes on the field are defensive backs.

Yeah - my college QB was a drafted 8 yr pro ( Falcons 5 th round ), from SF Bay area , was Montana backup when Rice was rookie . As his ol Wr , went to camp to see my friend. I asked him what he thought about Jerry Rice pick #1...”I don’t think he is that good “ So I ask why ....” he goes full speed all the time , I seen guys like him , they get on to them , beat them up and they out of the game “ Obviously he was wrong , in fact he really just got smoother at motion he was moving . Think ran about 4.6-4.7 40 , but on a track (not cleats on grass ) be about .12 faster ; 4.48 - 4.58. My Wr teammate was running 4.5 on grass in 1976 so at 6’-2 190 that’s 4.38 on a track ( Raiders drafted him played about 6 yrs )

Smitty is a MONSTER on in-breaking routes. Can't tell you how many times I saw him get like 5 yards of separation on a slant after a simple jab step to the outside

If I’m correct, I think the DB is Malachi Moore. He’s a sophomore who had a great season as a true freshman during the 2020 season. If it is Malachi Moore I think the film had to be at least before Spring cause he’s been healing up from an injury he sustained during the 2020 season. Hope the Slim Reaper goes to the right team and has a great NFL career.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute!! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today.. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him!! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul!! "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️

Great DB play? Dude I'm tossing the flag. DB beat on the dig and he stick his arm across the stomach to stop acceleration...flag. Then when he makes the WR breaks he sees the ball coming the turns in to a winter fur coat he all over the WR...flag. Very good commentary but you're too kind to that sloppy DB. If the WR don't catch the ball its a 1st down at the 2 yard line for PI. DB needs to learn how to back peddle that'll help him out..that is, if he gets good at it.
