Deion Sanders' advice for Tre' White


Recommended Posts

There's no denying the talent and physical skills of Deion Sanders.  However, I lost all respect for him during this game.

4th Quarter Atl Buf

Atl 13:54 Drew Hill 1 pass from Wade Wilson (Norm Johnson Kick) 14 41

 

Deion Sanders returns a lateral from a Steve Christie squib kickoff for a TD right before halftime to give Atlanta their first points of the game.  The Falcons were having their butts handed to them by us at that point in the game but he does his little 'vogue strut' to the end zone as he runs by the final Bills player (Steve Christie) for the score.  I don't know why but it just reeked of 'Look at me, look at me!' and as such, I found it quite selfish and annoying.  You can watch it in all its nauseating glory at the 4:31 mark in the video below.

On extra points - start walking off the field prior to the kick.  Hissy punch other players.  Throw water on the head of the baseball announcer.  Oh.  And stay classy!

Seems kinda generic advice.

Simple advice is often times the best advice. Tre White is already a professional football player.  He's already had success.  He already knows techniques, etc.  Mindset can take players to the next level.  Prime spoke of mindset.  Read between the lines.  "Product knowledge" takes time.  It's not acquired quickly.  What has to be sacrificed in order to study opponents in-depth or offensive coordinators?  What has to be sacrificed in order to maintain physical ability.  Like film study, maximizing one's physique takes focus.  If you're plate is always empty you're always working.

Despite the enormity of the Falcons getting waxed, he does this.

Does anyone have that video from the late 80s where Don Beebe is returning a punt going full speed racing towards the endzone and Deion runs him down?

Same game he ran down Thurman and Kenneth Davis from the other side of the field. I think it was 93.
