30 minutes till football.. Bears at Titans…
Yawn…
I learned something about Football the other day listening to Coach Pat Jones…
Have you ever wondered why when the offensive lineman are at the line who the hell they keep pointing too? It gets somewhat annoying.. Yes we know there are defensive players on the other side of the line.. Stop pointing at them…Well here is what they are doing..The first thing the line wants to do is point out who on defense is middle linebacker for that play and where he is.. He is always called Mike.. So the first thing is find out where Mike is and take it from there…Then the QB takes over..Say Peyton Manning.. He calls out the play pointing out defensive key positions
A few years ago he got on this kick of calling out to a pass play was Apple apple apple.. I hated that…Is that the best you got Colts? Apple?
Fruity way to call plays in the NFL if you ask me..What does Tomato mean..A post play? Grape is a slant over the middle?

Barber, Williams and Leonard Davis all went the the Bears from the Cowboys…I’ll watch for that reason, and it’s football eh?
