[Getum-Choppin]

Just Trying,
I'm gonna clarify some things up first hand. I know how good these guys could have been. I had them when they were sophomores and with the exception of Russell and Flemming, Probably one of the BEST o-lines I have ever coached. Now, What I say about the line goes for the senior linemen, The underclass men I don't know.
You can't tell me a line with that size and strength could have and should have been that bad. They were huge! All they had to do was fire off the ball and asses should have hit the ground. I know how good these guys were and if they stunk or had no talent or size I'd ever say a word. But they were good and 2 years ago when they had to walk a fine line and o-line practice was fire and brimstone, These guys were football players and took it to people. We fired off the ball, We knew how to block, We knew who to block and we got after people all night because our line practice was so hard, IT MADE THE GAMES SEAM EASY. We weren't great, BUT we never quit and had pride. I made those linmen accountable for their efforts and I graded each and every game film. If 1 linemen didn't make the grade, They all paid. I preach UNITY every day and that's what an o-line is, A unit, Not an individual. We won, We lost as a unit and by making them accountable( the film never lies) THEY GOT BETTER. I was hard and You do down-ups a whole practice if you loafed.( That's where Getum-Choppin was derived). The only unforgivable sin to me was LACK OF EFFORT. Bust your *** and mess up, I'll work with you till we get it right. Go half speed and mess up, Well........
Your gonna have a very bad day. A few of the SEIOR LINEMEN, went to coach and threatened to quit when he asked me to come back and help him. Their mommys went to the upper and it caused coach alot of grief. I told coach that if they were gonna try to cause him problems cause of it, Forget it and good luck. I could take Elam and Ledford and make all-staters. Thes particular guys were selfish and coach only had like 18 players and these big babys threatening to quit when coach offered me a job.
HEY, yOU KNEW HOW HARD IT WOULD BE, NO MORE LOAFING AND STANDING AROUND AND TAKING IT EASY. It would have been hell, But you'd have been prepared and ready for war. NO WAY YOU'D BEEN 1-9, NO WAY, I wouldn't have allowed it and you would have known better than to allow 1-9 to happen.
