Pat Tillman

[whiteathlete33]

Here is NFLdraftscout's analysis of Celek. It is the usual mentioning that Celek has tight hips.



Positives: Added close to 15 pounds of needed bulk
before the 2006 season, and the additional weight has helped him
generate a stronger base to sustain when blocking "¦ Has good
straight-line speed, showing the initial quickness to surprise a
lethargic defender and get a decent release off the line of scrimmage "¦
Demonstrates good hand placement and arm extension to compete for the
ball "¦ Has good short-area speed and knows when to convert routes vs.
man coverage "¦ Has an effective swim move and hand strength to defeat
the jam "¦ Used mainly on shallow crossing routes and in the flats, but
does a nice job of settling underneath and has the natural hands to
field the ball outside his frame "¦ Maintains good ball concentration
working through trash and is a tough, durable receiver who demonstrates
good courage competing for the ball "¦ Used often in motion and can line
wide due to his straight-ahead speed "¦ Smart and alert to blitzes and
has a good eye for finding the clear lanes "¦ Hard worker in the training
room and puts in extra hours studying film "¦ More effective as a cut
blocker than when working in-line, as he takes good angles to get out
and stalk second-level defenders "¦ His straight-line burst prevents
safeties from cheating along the sidelines.




Negatives: Has added bulk, but still has adequate
muscle definition "¦ Appears very thin in his hips and has marginal lower
body muscle tone "¦ Lacks the loose hips to change direction smoothly "¦
His running stride is choppy and because of his tight hips, he fails to
get turned around properly to snare passes behind him "¦ Shows good hand
placement, but needs to get more aggressive as a drive blocker (does not
lock on and sustain for long) "¦ Weight room strength does not translate
to the football field "¦ Has a good, quick release, but his running
stride prevents him from reaching top acceleration "¦ Lacks the lower leg
drive to generate movement in attempts to neutralize defenders when
blocking in-line "¦ Does not show the second gear to separate from
defenders after the catch "¦ Will turn it up with some power after the
catch, but lacks the hip shake, head fakes and moves to set up the
defender "¦ When blocking, he needs to keep his head up better and
maintain a wider base to prevent from being walked back into the pocket "¦
Has good vision, but fails to generate the burst needed to take the
ball up the seams "¦ Takes too many false steps after planting and
driving to be clean in and out of his breaks "¦ .Must improve his leaping
and timing to compete for the pass at its high point "¦ Doesn't show the
agility to jab in one direction and break off the route squarely.

I'm posting this for memorial day. It pisses me off to this day how the U.S. Government could exploit the death of a real hero like Tillman.

Pat Tillman was as admirable as they come. Quite a contrast to the government that used him for propaganda purposes and then lied about how he died and covered it up for years.

Amen!

This was not only a man who loved football, but also a man who wanted to fight for his country after what occurred on 9/11. No afroletes that the media and DWFs worship would have the courage to do the same.

Hello gentlemen
I've been monitoring Caste Football and have posted once before. I'd just like to say a few things about this situation about Pat Tillman. First of all, I don't know why anyone had to lie about how he got killed in the first place. Such things as happened to Pat Tillman happen all the time in combat. It's nothing new. It happened to Stonewall Jackson. There are all sorts of ways men get killed in combat zones. There are many accidents as well. People get run over just like they do here in the states. A guy I know fell down a well in Nam and drowned, not very heroic. Sometimes there is faulty gear, ammo,etc. In the Spanish American war, there were more casualties from botulism than from enemy action.

I also don't know why people can't accept that their loved one is dead anymore. Tillman is dead for some time now and the sun comes up every day and we (his relatives as well) have to get up each day and go about our business. It's time to move on from this.

It's great to see you in a Nationalist Times related board again, Mr. Iron. You've raised some good points. I think it's safe to say the reason there's a ruckus over Tillman is that he reached deity as an athlete before ascending to the Walhalla of "dying in the defense of his country". It seems a good thing there's a ruckus, though -- certainly helps nationalism more than the establishment.
