That team was notoriously slow…and it played out on the field. You basically had two walk-ons playing big minutes at safety in Devaun Swafford and Max Arnold. Lawson had them remarkably conditioned but the lack of foot speed glared against teams like Oregon and Bama. When your PUNTER clocks your fastest time on Pro Day? Worlds different from this roster.

Agreed. I was a little older than Arnold in school. He was a QB but at no point could he ever out run me in the 40 so he wasn’t trail blazing in the secondary…. Which again you don’t have to be super fast to be a safety you just need to have instincts.

He was a good Football player and worked hard to get where he was. I was actually proud of him for getting playing time as a Walk-on. But, we should of never of had to resort to him playing safety. (Terrible secondary recruiting led to this happening)

Out of the top teams we play….. we have the best chance against Florida….. wish it was a home game….. Mullen lost most of his offense but he will have them good no matter what….his defense will still probably be below avg bc he has not done a good job recruiting…. I don’t think we will win but we have a chance if they struggle with our offense.

That’s fine and all, it’s a bad analogy. The childish arrogance of those trying to reduce the greatest American gymnast of all time to a “quitter” has caused me to make some bad arguments. But it’s going to be over their heads regardless, so I’ve stopped trying.

Oh, I really hate it when people stop discussing something with an excuse that it's over someone else's head. That usually means you don't have the ability to break down what you know so someone else can understand. Guess that's just the teacher in me that hated being told special ed kids just couldn't get it.... The truth of this situation is probably somewhere in the middle.

I want them to be moving so fast the first game I get whiplash trying to follow them down the field!

I wasn't abused but I did wrestle in college. Wrestled plenty of times where I wasn't fully mentally in it. Nationals my senior year I pulled my groin very first match and lost. Since it was my senior year I put ice on it (very uncomfortable) in between each match and kept wrestling. Was one match away from being an All American but I tweaked my groin again and couldn't score any more points. I did finish that match though

I wrestled in college too. We are now friends.

The difference between special ed kids and knuckleheads is the desire to learn and understand. In the case of knuckleheads, it's not over their heads, it's beyond their desire to see and understand the truth. When you have several top-rated gymnasts from the past confirming this phenomenon exists, then you add in that Japan wouldn't allow her to bring her ADHD meds with her(which would throw off her brain chemistry), and you factor in just how good and dominant a gymnast she has been....I'm really not sure why people are finding it hard to believe her. This is the same Simone Biles that has been dominating the sport for years. She won 4 gold medals at the 2016 Olympics. I think she's done more than enough to earn the benefit of the doubt.

It doesn’t matter what I, or any other former gymnasts or her coach break down. People here just think they’re all in on a conspiracy to lie about biles’ condition for some reason. So yeah, tell me what you would do if a handful of your students accused anything you taught that didn’t align with their worldview as being a lie? Anyway, doesn’t matter anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
