When your training and doing your HW come together itβs beautiful
Osi Umenyiora says he discovered Tom Brady's pre snap cadence and knew when he was going to snap the ball ahead of Super Bowl XLII, and says it allowed the Giants defensive line to dominate the game with 5 sacks and 20 hurries
βBut as I was watching the tape, because you have two weeks leading up to the game, I noticed that Tom Brady would come up to the line of scrimmage. And this is real information Iβm giving you here, worth millions of dollars. Iβm giving it to you right now. And thereβs people recording this to pass it on to their players.β
βBut what I noticed was he would come up to the line of scrimmage and he would say βhut,β which is telling the center to snap him the ball. So what he was doing was he would come up to the line of scrimmage, and before he said that, he was pointing at somebody, maybe somebody on the opposing side. And if he didnβt point at that person, that means they werenβt going to snap the ball. But if he did point at that person, the ball was coming as soon as he said βhut.ββ
βSo after I watched this, I studied this for literally a week. I went back, I watched all the games, and he was doing the exact same thing, but nobody had figured it out. So I saw that, and I went and gathered the whole defense, and I was like, βListen, this is what this man is doing.β If you know when the ball is being snapped as a defensive line, you are at a tremendous advantage over the offensive lineman because theyβre relying on you not knowing.β
βBecause if you donβt know, that means youβre going to be late. But if you do know, youβre going to beat them almost every time. And so as soon as I figured this out, I gathered the whole defensive line. I was like, βListen, this is what Tom Bradyβs doing.ββ
βNow we all started to watch this together, and we saw this was 100%. It wasnβt even like 80. This was 100%. So now we knew going into that game that, as a defensive line, we were going to be able to overwhelm them offensively simply because of that one thing that I had pointed out.β
βAnd we went into the game and we sacked him like five times, hit him like 20 times. They couldnβt understand how we were getting off the ball and getting to him that fast. And it was simply because, for two weeks prior, I just sat there and I had watched what this one person was doing, and that gave us the mental advantage going into the game. We knew we were going to win that game even though nobody else did, because we knew something that they didnβt know, and nobody else knew that we knew.β

Yaxel Lenderborg on his NBA debut and guarding Luka: "I got to see what the NBA is like, man. Lot of flopping, lot of foul baiting, lot of praying to the ref. Interesting first game for me... Being in there firsthand, just watching all the whining and complaining, I lost all respect. That was awful"

"Yeah, it was interesting. I got to see what the NBA is like, man. Lot of flopping, lot of foul baiting, lot of praying to the ref. Interesting first game for me, for sure.
I had a lot of respect for him (Luka). You know, just watching. I didn't really watch the NBA much, I just watched highlights. Seeing him, you know, kill people all the time. But then being in there firsthand, just watching all the whining and complaining, I lost all respect, man. Like that was awful.
Like me getting frustrated, it's not about the foul being called, it's about him complaining the entire game. And then you get the foul call, congratulations bro. And then you talk to me like you did something great, bro? Come on, dog. That's just weak. It kinda threw me off for a little while, cause you know, like I said, I had so much respect for him. Gone man, gone.
I was telling him he sucks, he can't score on me. You talking and you can't score on me. I said it the whole game. I said a couple cuss words obviously, you know, that's why I got the technical and all that. But I was letting him know, because he was laughing and talking all this because of that one foul call.
His only bucket on me was a banker from half court. Like I know that it's a team sport. You know, he had 28pts on us as a team. Me, I took my matchup personally. Tried not to get caught on the fouls. Tried my best. I was thinking about playing him with my hands behind my back to see if that worked, probably would've still got a foul call."
