He should've jacked him up if that's true. He obviously thinks he's talking to a kid.

I think it's fair to say both Urban Meyer and Matt Rhule are better suited to talk to college kids than professional adults.

Now with that said, in today's environment, would you even do that to a college kid?

I'd be willing to bet money that it's "...the more things stay the same." My wife subs in high school, and she has told me that she's heard the coaches cussing players out when they get out of line and there's a need for disciplinary action in the classroom. My nephew has voluntarily coached high school and he has told me that when the players got out of line, he's had to pull them to the side and give them some choice words. If it goes on in high school, it likely goes on in college where the HC is generally the most powerful guy on a lot of these campuses.

Well, if we're talking language, I got that from my Pee Wee coaches.

But even they never kicked me.

From the story...

“I’m in a lunge position. Left leg forward, right leg back,” Lambo said. “... Urban Meyer, while I’m in that stretch position, comes up to me and says, ‘Hey Dips--t, make your f--king kicks!’ And kicks me in the leg.”

That's when you turn around and say "Hows this coach?" and plant you kicking foot up that peons ass!!!"

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
