Tragedy in Tampa


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Have a good friend who's family had a toddler drown and I can tell you they will never be the same again.  The guilt and heartache never go away.   I hope he has faith that he can lean on when those tough times recur over the years.  I believe that is the only thing that has kept my friend and his family going all these years.   Prayers for Shaq and his family that this event does not tear them apart as a family and they can find a way to continue on.

I have no clue how a family can recover from something like this. Terrible news and I feel terrible for the family.

Not quite the same situation as this, but I have a good friend who years ago wanted to start a family...

His wife's first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.

Her second one resulted in a stillbirth.

As you can imagine, they were devastated.

When I got word that she was pregnant for a third time, I probably spent the better part of the next nine months praying for them.

Was overjoyed to hear when their baby was born okay...

They now have four, all grown up, on their own, three of them married.

I couldn't possibly imagine what they went through.

Before clicking, I was hoping this thread was going to be something funny about a dumb draft pick or some boneheaded coaching staff quote instead of something actually tragic. Ugh. Hate to hear this. 

I wish 😕

Almost happened to me at home about 4 years ago. My 3 year old jumped in the pool behind me after a long day at the beach. I had jumped in because a canopy had blown into the pool and I was just trying to get it out. I didn’t notice she has fell/ jumped in until she bumped into my leg down at the bottom of the pool. I pulled her out and she was foaming and throwing up water, took her to the hospital where she was released after some observation. She was probably under water for around a minute. Happens in an instant and is terrifying beyond anything I have ever experienced. Still makes me sick to think about it. 
 

i have safety gates and everything, nobody goes out in the pool deck without supervision, but even with supervision, turning your attention for a few seconds is all it takes. 
 

Prayers for the family, they are going through hell now unlike anything anyone can imagine unless they have lost a child.

The sad thing is that you can watch them like a hawk and this can still happen. Not a time for lectures man. 

This is not a lecture. Barrett will never ever see this. It's more like advice to others. I have personally had to watch out for kids whose parents weren't paying attention, and at least in one instance I have been directly responsible for avoiding a death of a toddler. If you're watching your kids appropriately, then the chance of something happening to them on your watch is greatly decreased. I have seen it in action.

    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
