Merge:X3Talk about an open minded coaching staff\Martial Arts

[MDFINFAN]

The Dolphins this offseason are working with two martial arts consultants who basically are helping certain players -- mostly pass rushers Joey Porter, Jason Taylor and Matt Roth -- with striking at opponents so as to escape blocks while keeping their feet active.

I can say this much, this regime will use whatever methods to gain an edge..

[Adam First]

That is a very interesting story.

I wonder if Ricky had anything to do with it...he is the team's Zen master

They should have gotten Chun, master of Shinanju, from Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins. That mutha f$%*er could dodge bullets.

No.......he is better than that!

Actually, wing chun can be beneficial for getting blockers arms out of the way. Don't know how you could combine it with charging into someone though.

I really hope this helps Matt Roth and his stubby arms, he needs every ounce of edge with liability in that frame.

perfect thread dredd :lol2::hi5:

 

[nwskan]

Apparently, the Bills are doing this too.

 

[phintim]

This has been done before by phin players in the past. Still keeping an open mind is what a winning attitude is all about. That why the wild cat happened last year. Thats why many teams start winning by starting something new.

Next up Spock will teach them the vulcan nerve pinch. When the Pats o-line drops to the ground Brady will look like a deer in headlights.

I remember hearing some Linemen used to take dancing lessons to improve their footwork. Similar stuff here. Makes perfect sense to me.

 

[Ricky_Fan34]

This is exactly why i love our coaching staff. Things like this make us much better as a team.
