INSIDE LINEBACKER

Inside Linebacker is probably one of the most comprehensive positions in football. Most people think that football is just "Hike!" and go get the ball carrier, but its all alot more than that.We are the leaders of the defense and must do what ever we can to stop the offense from scoring. In order to stop the offense we must study them and see what plays they like to run at certain situations. also, what formations they are mostly likely to run or pass in. Now when playing Inside Linebacker there are reads we must take. We must watch the O-Line and get certain reads from them. The way they're standing, leaning, how much weight is applied on the hand thats down, if they're lookin in a certain direction, or anything different from what they did previously. all these can help us Inside Linebackers with the play. Once figuring out what the play is, we have to fit to our areas after the balls snapped. Most of the action goes on in what we call "The Trenches". Insides have to take on O-Linemen who are usally bigger and stronger then them. So they have to use thier speed and footwork to get around them. All in all, Inside is a very complicated position. Inside Linebacker have to be smart when playing. It's just like going to school and studying for the test.

would you want 2 be part of the team?




Everyone has his/her own dreams and goals. Most males I know want to make it to the NFL and be the greatest & toughest football player there is on the field! I would love to learn more about this football sport, that all boys are hooked on. I know some positions and specific rules of the game, but I ain't familiar with all the football terms & rules. It seems like being part of a team is alot of dedication of time , work & effort! Football is a great game to watch, and not because it's boys, but it's just very entertaining & competitive! Seeing boys get sacked, ripped & cracked...is all fun & action..i Love it!hahaha Playing on the field isn't the only part of being a football player though. There's study hall, regular school courses that you have to attend daily, because coach checks in on all your classes, and there's hard work out practices! Plus the long runs, when in trouble. I know sucks!lol Well being a football player ain't that easy i guess...I give them props for staying focused, not giving up & staying committed 2 the team. For we are winners all the time! Shyt I'm koo wit just being a cheerleader!hahaha

"GO BULLDOGS!"
"CRACK EM'"
"SACK EM'"

CHAMPS!

CHAMPS are made from DESIRE, DREAM & VISION! You always have to play with supreme confidence! It's not all about you, it's about your effort and the "teams" effort to make that 100% strength & power! To football players, football is so incredible, it's unbelievable. And Speed is not their fastest, but their slowest! The only place you can win a football game is on the field, the only place you can lose it, is in your hearts! “When you are not practicing, remember, someone somewhere is practicing, and when you meet him he will win”. Practice as if you were the worst, but always perform as you are the BEST!

keep playing til you get it right!







My prediction was correct!Unfortunately our bulldogs were drooling after the game on Saturday! It was very similar to the Sierra game! Final overtime score was: Santa Rosa 38, College of San Mateo 31! SRJC had a 1st-and-10 on the CSM 14-yard line after a 77-yard kickoff return from Brandon Driver. The Bear Cubs took the opening kickoff and went on a 9-play, 73-yard drive scoring drive. Froman completed 7 of 8 passes for 84 yards on the drive and the Bulldogs first touchdown came on a 31-yard scoring drive that was set up by a fumble by SRJC running back Jarrel Davis. CSM scored its second touchdown on 11-yard drive, set up by a 25-yard punt return and unnecessary roughness penalty. The Bear Cubs tied the score at 14 on Froman's 14-yard run, which came two plays after Brandon Driver's 77-yard kickoff return. CSM responded with a 9-play, 65-yard scoring drive that featured eight runs to take a 21-14 lead. The Bulldogs took a 28-21 lead six seconds before halftime. Their 10-play, 79-yard drive was aided by a 15-yard roughing-the-passer penalty. SRJC wide receiver Brandyn Reed left the game after taking a violent hit after attempting to catch a pass over the middle with 11:07 left in the quarter. SRJC now has the ball and has a 2nd-and-goal at the CSM 8-yard line. CSM missed a 34-yard field goal with three seconds left in regulation & SRJC got the ball first in overtime and converted a 4th-and-11 at the 26. On CSM's first offensive play of overtime, SRJC linebacker Jared Pereira intercepted a pass over the middle to end the game! Yes I know it sucks, but hey at least our boys went out there with all their effort and strength!

it's nuthing 2 a BULLDOG!



I guess Sierra got away with this game! With in the final seconds left of the game, Sierra scored a field goal in overtime. Their over excited coach ran in front of the CSM Sideline jumping like they won pro-bowl!hahaha Gosh this felt like the city game last year..everyone got pumped up & rowdy, having that faith that CSM was going to win, but it just got killed when city college made a touchdown in the last few seconds of the 4th quarter. Gosh it pissed me off! This just SUCKED! Anyhow, both teams played hard and great. One big turnaround was in the first quarter, when Sierra received the kickoff, drove down field on short passes, then missed a field goal. CSM then drove the ball the length of the field and scored for a point of 7. CSM tried a pooch kickoff, which failed, and gave Sierra a short field. Sierra then went over the top and scored on a long pass, making it a tie. Then Sierra held the Bulldogs to a punt, and scored immediately on another long pass (Sierra 14/ CSM 7). On first down, CSM fumbled in the backfield and Sierra scored on the turnover which puts Sierra with 21 and CSM with 7. Eventually CSM tied it at 27, but the first quarter hole proved too big to overcome. CSM lost due to little mistakes and maybe because the coach called some wrong plays? It's okay though, because CSM's defense line was kicking ass out there, but the db's had to do a lot better in coverage. Also If CSM was able to get that punt blocked they probably would have won that game or if they just made a field goal when they had the chance to! I still LOVE my fellow BULLDOGG brothuhs!hahahaha
