Linebackers!🚨🚨🚨 As linebackers, we have to key the guards for run reads, high hats (pass), and for pulling guards. Linebackers have to communicate with each other when they see a puller, screaming “pull, pull, pull!”. The linebacker to the side of the pulling guard has to shuffle over the top staying inside out of the ball carrier. The other linebacker away from the pulling guard has to either box or spill the puller to the other linebacker depending on their defensive scheme. In this video they are boxing the puller back to the other linebacker. It is very important for the linebacker shuffling over the top to keep his depth and not stepping up field. Offensive lineman wants you to step up field so they can cut you off and make a running lane for the running back. #LBU

SPECIAL REPORT - TREASON IN TEXAS and a CALL TO ACTION! 🚨 Smith County Sheriff Larry Smith is in direct violation of an EO by Governor Greg Abbott, saying he will not arrest illegal aliens and will not alert ICE 'unless their crimes are a Class B misdemeanor or above'. 🚨 Smith County Sheriff Larry Smith has decided to create a sanctuary for illegal criminals in East Texas. Smith County, a predominantly conservative and red area of Texas, is in danger while the Smith County Sheriff has placed protections for potential MURDERERS and RAPlSTS. Any person who enters this country illegally is already guilty of a Class B misdemeanor, making Larry Smith's position very confusing. During the recent immigration panel, Larry Smith instructed illegals to avoid certain areas where they would be in danger from stricter immigration laws. In regards to arrests here in Smith County, treasonous Larry Smith stated, 'They pay a fine, they make bond, they get out and go to court'. I live in Smith County, and this is grounds for removal. Larry Smith has a history of incompetence and refuses to step down despite his inability to complete duties required of him. 🚨 He has a neurological disease that has affected him for years. In one specific incident, he was unable to complete his job when he pulled over an individual for excessive speeding; he had to call for backup because he could not exit his own vehicle. 🚨 There are also claims that Smith County needs more funding to hold illegals. However, Smith County was granted approximately $68,000 from the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program for the arrest and care of fewer than 100 illegals. (I have the receipt for this in thread) 🚨 He has failed to enforce, uphold, and defend the United States Constitution and the Texas Constitution. 🚨 He has violated Texas law: Violating the Texas Election Code, he has not filed a campaign finance report since February 2024. He has missed four separate deadlines since then. 🚨 He has violated Trump's EO. 🚨 Grants mandate that they must fully participate with DHS policy. They are applying for grant money to by rifle grade body armor. They are taking care of a need under the guise of working with DHS to remove illegal aliens. Which is not happening. 🚨CALL TO ACTION🚨 - IF YOU LIVE IN SMITH COUNTY, we need your HELP! We need letters written and sent to the AG office. I can help with verbiage. And I can help with submission. We just need the letter from YOU. Message me if you’re interested in assisting!

Watching some Mike Green this morning: Lots of complaining #onhere about him being off ball. Has happened 8 total snaps when offenses present certain looks and he's playing SAM. KVN usual SAM. He moves really well in space if he's able to process what the offense is doing. One of his 8 coverage drops lead to an INT when he took away a crosser, Flacco had to keep moving and Wiggins took ball. Otherwise he's too slow to process, as a rookie edge often will be in first four weeks. His strides are too short and inefficient to win the way he wants to. Wants to win around the arc. Needs to explode out first step needs to be long and get OT into recovery mode. If they vertical set he's too late to get to the corner. Inside counters haven't been a part of his game so far. Short strides and no threat of going inside makes it easy on the OT. Still really impressed with his karate. Understands how to lift paws off his chest, how to gain leverage to rip through when OT has arms extended to quickly rip and dip. Does a great job getting his outside arm onto the triceps of the OT when they extend so he can lift/pull, then rip. I would add a swipe to his arsenal before season is over. Work on it after practice. Add it to his arsenal more in offseaosn. His steps and decisions on which foot to propel off of aren't clean enough yet. He is taking one too many steps too often. Taking too long to get to his spot or to attack OT. (It's his fifth game today, to be expected) Sidenote, Oweh looks good and there's NO interior rush. Simply no threat. Peebles is the only one w/ explosiveness but he's just wild and trying to randomly cause havoc, which is fine, but there's no efficient interior rusher at all.

NEW: 2028 5⭐️ SF Evan Willis (The.Evan.Willis) has received his official offer from Kentucky, he tells me! I’ve personally been very high on Evan, I currently have him #2 in 2028, without a doubt the best defensive player in the class, and his offensive game combined with his athleticism is coming along very quickly at a high level. He told me a really cool fact: “I lived in Lexington when I was a baby, 🤣 actually took my first steps there 😅” Evan always very respectful, nicely agreed to take some time to answer a few questions for BBN! This is a big one to watch Kentucky fans, show him love! 👇🏻 Q: Who reached out from Kentucky, how’d the conversation go? EW: Coach Pope and Coach McClean reached out. It was a great conversation. They told me how they see me fitting into their program even right now because they’ve seen my growth in a short amount of time. It was cool hearing that from a school like Kentucky. Q: What were your initial thoughts after you received your offer? EW: My first thought was gratitude. Kentucky is one of those schools every basketball player knows about, so getting this offer means a lot. It motivates me to keep working because I know nothing is guaranteed. Q: Is there anything specific about the school, or the staff in general that makes you more interested in Kentucky? EW: I like the tradition and the culture they have. They’ve developed a lot of great players, and you can tell the coaches really believe in their guys. I appreciate that they see me as someone with NBA potential and they were genuine when stating that. #BBN #KentuckyBasketball

🚨THE BEAST ABSOLUTELY RAGING: EDDIE HALL CHASES CAR DOWN HIS STREET! 😡🔥 The Beast Goes Full Hulk Mode As He Sprints After Unwanted Visitors Outside His Home. Imagine If He Caught Them 😱 Eddie Hall, the former World's Strongest Man known as ‘The Beast’, lost it after three cars with blacked-out windows pulled up outside his house in Newcastle-under-Lyme at around 9pm. They were abusive, revved engines, beeped horns, and lingered while looking into the property. His wife Alexandra politely asked them to leave after about 10 minutes, but the group told her to “f*ck off” and stayed longer. The full interaction lasted around 20 minutes, with the viral clip showing only the final explosive 30 seconds. Eddie's young children, including his 12-year-old son Maximus and two toddlers, were in bed and got scared by the noise and unwanted attention. Eddie is usually very accommodating with fans but reached his limit after what he described as 20 minutes of harassment disturbing his kids' peaceful home. Things escalated when one driver allegedly threatened to punch him. Eddie shouted expletives, threatened to “rip your head off”, and chased after one of the departing cars. He has since apologised specifically for scaring any children in the other cars, explaining he had no idea kids were present until the very end because of the blacked-out windows. At the same time, Eddie has stood firmly by his actions, saying he was simply protecting his family and their right to privacy at home. Fair play to Eddie. Everyone has a breaking point, especially when it comes to safeguarding your sleeping kids from a late-night nuisance on your own doorstep. People have a right to peace and privacy in their own home.

🚨BREAKING: SERBIAN MILITARY EXERCISES NEAR KOSOVO BORDER – HELICOPTERS AND PARATROOPERS OVER PRESHEVA VALLEY + RECORD ARMS TO ISRAEL! 🇮🇱🇷🇸🔥🇽🇰 Serbia is doing military drills very close to Kosovo. Helicopters fly low and drop paratroopers over Presheva Valley – an area in southern Serbia where most people are ethnic Albanians. This happens right next to the Kosovo border Albanian National Council Chairman Enkel Rexhepi called it “dangerous and unacceptable intimidation aimed at driving Albanians out!” He says it creates fear and pressure on local Albanian people. Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti said: “It’s a provocation. Serbia attempts to undermine the sovereignty & territorial integrity of our Republic. But it’s also an expression of their powerlessness. They cannot stop us, no matter what their plans are!!!” People in the area feel scared from the loud helicopters and soldiers landing nearby. Online and in media, many call it a provocation and show of force in a sensitive place with history of ethnic tensions. At the same time, Serbia has hit record arms exports to Israel – over $130 million in one year, with cargo planes flying between Belgrade and Israel often.

OF Trevor Condon (Tennessee Baseball) was one of my favorite position players I saw in Jupiter. Collected 7 hits (1 XBH) and 4 RBIs across 5 games. Slightly undersized, but there's some impact (mainly to the pull side) packed into his frame. Wiry, athletic build at 5'11" and 175-lbs. Prototypical top-of-the-order table setter. Explosive and twitchy operation in the box with no-doubt plus bat speed. Feel for the barrel is there, high-level bat-to-ball skills. Controlled the zone well with polished swing decisions in my looks last week. Does tend to hit the ball on the ground, would like to see more line drives. Hit-over-power profile with some PS thump. Gets out of the box unbelievably quick, turned in 70-grade run times. Condon's tantalizing combination of speed and athleticism translates well to centerfield. He can really go and get it and has plenty of range, but if he can shore up his routes (take a more efficient, crisp path to the baseball) he has a chance to become an impact defender. The intangibles with Condon are a nice cherry on top. Advanced baseball sense; stole 2nd on a great dirt ball read, swiped 3rd on a well-executed shuffle lead. Incredibly high motor, plays with his hair on fire. Does not take a pitch off! Always involved, brings the juice! Like the Energizer bunny. Kind of a throwback player in that sense - it's clear he LOVES to play! Think along the lines of Sal Frelick/Slater de Brun (SDB better defender at this point with more of a physical, barrel-chested look). Top 2-3 round type for me this July.

OF Trevor Condon (Tennessee Baseball) was one of my favorite position players I saw in Jupiter. Collected 7 hits (1 XBH) and 4 RBIs across 5 games. Slightly undersized, but there's some impact (mainly to the pull side) packed into his frame. Wiry, athletic build at 5'11" and 175-lbs. Prototypical top-of-the-order table setter. Explosive and twitchy operation in the box with no-doubt plus bat speed. Feel for the barrel is there, high-level bat-to-ball skills. Controlled the zone well with polished swing decisions in my looks last week. Does tend to hit the ball on the ground, would like to see more line drives. Hit-over-power profile with some PS thump.

People often say that we need immigration because without it, the NHS would collapse. This just is not true. At the moment, we're not training enough medics in this country - but this is a choice. We do not need to rely on staff from overseas. The NHS has a deeply unusual setup when it comes to its workforce. The Government sets the rules for who can qualify as a medical professional, decides how many medical training places to offer, and controls the flow of medical graduates into the NHS. It decides how much to charge students, and under what conditions. And because the NHS is by far the country's main employer of medical professionals, the Government also has effective control over the pay and conditions of those who qualify, and is responsible for deciding where medical trainees go, and when. So the Health Service isn't subject to the same labour market forces as other organisations. The Government controls both the supply *and* the demand of its own workforce. In 2025, we had 15,723 British-trained doctors competing for 12,833 NHS training posts. Those British-trained doctors had already been whittled down from the thousands of people who apply to train as doctors every year, of whom only half are accepted. Hundreds of those rejected each year have three A* grades at A Level. The reason that we don't offer more medical degrees is because, at the moment, the NHS doesn't have enough training places for British-trained doctors. But at the same time, under the current system, British-trained doctors aren't given priority when it comes to the training places that we *do* have. So not only were those 15,723 British-trained doctors competing with each other for just 12,833 training places, they were also competing with 25,257 doctors trained overseas. This is rubbish for those British doctors, and a colossal waste of money for the rest of us, because it costs taxpayers about a quarter of a million pounds to educate each doctor to the point of graduating. But perhaps this means the NHS gets the very best doctors? No. In fact, doctors trained overseas are 2.5 times more likely to be referred to the GMC, the regulator responsible for maintaining standards in the medical profession. The GMC hears cases relating to professional misconduct and medical malpractice. Exchanging British-trained doctors for those trained overseas is not always a like-for-like swap. But here’s the craziest twist of all. The training places we do have are *randomly allocated*. No priority for British doctors, despite the fact we’ve paid to teach them. And no priority for the best graduates, despite the fact we need their skills. Top performing students have no choice over where they go, and aren't given priority when allocating new training places. They often have to wait months to find out where they're being posted, and will often receive very little notice before being asked to pick up sticks and relocate to another part of the country. Last summer, one of my constituents qualified as a doctor. He graduated with one of the very highest marks in the year, in the top three, from one of the most competitive medical schools in the country. He is clearly an outstanding student and will make an incredible doctor. In any sane system he would have been placed immediately, and been able to choose his location and specialism to keep him incentivised and happy within the NHS, and to make the most of his obviously considerable talents. Instead, because of the mismanagement of places and the lottery system, he wasn’t placed in the first round of allocations. He wasn’t placed in the second round. He wasn’t even placed in the third round, or even the fourth. With less than four weeks to go he still had no placement and no sense of where he would be spending the next few years of his life, including whether he might be able to live close to his partner, another doctor qualifying at the same time as him. He might not have got a training placement at all. Fortunately, the Government is looking to change the system, so that British-trained doctors are prioritised for training places. This is a great change. We need to train more medical professionals in this country, including doctors. The Health Service does not need to rely on overseas doctors - there is plenty of talent right here. But we also need a system which prizes excellence, and provides clarity for medical trainees. The most talented, British-trained graduate doctors should clearly get top priority, and should be able to operate within a system that makes it possible to plan their lives and build a career here. Both medical trainees and patients would benefit from such a system. The alternative is more talented British doctors going abroad, and more reliance on migration.
