Senior Project

So far, we have had two classes for Senior Project and I am in a good place. I have come up with my idea of what I would like to do for this year long project. I am doing mine on how to prepare for a football combine. I still have to do a lot of research on it as well as get an outside expert and start putting it together.

The research that will have to do for my senior project is first, I must find out exactly what events are tested, how they are tested, and why they are tested. After all of that, I have to record myself for each event and record my results.

The next step after I get all of my research done and recorded is to find out who I want for my outside expert. I already have a couple ideas of who I might want to ask to be my expert. Throughout the winter of 2012-2013, I went to a speed trainer in Hampton to help me with football and my combine testing scores. I was thinking about possibly having him as my outside expert. Another person that I could use as my outside expert would be a man that I met at a combine this summer who showed us some hints to help the athletes better their score. He has also created a video series that you can buy that helps kids train for the combine. Both men would be a great outside expert for me, however I feel that my speed trainer might be a little easier to be in contact with because he lives in Hampton whereas the other man lives in Ohio.

After all of that has been done then I can start putting together my senior project. This whole process shouldn't be to hard to do because I am very much into football and combines and have already attended many combines.

Patriots vs Jets

On Thursday, the New England Patriots will be facing off against the New York Jets. The Patriots are led by quarterback Tom Brady, who had a very rough outing against Buffalo last sunday. He completed five out of his fourteen passes for two hundred and fifty six passing yards with one touchdown and one interception.

sses. With the loss of Wes Welker, free agent, Rob Gronkowski, surgery, and Aaron Hernandez, released, Tom Brady no longer has any of his big targets to be throwing to. The Jets are led by quarterback Geno Smith, a rookie from West Virginia. Geno went twenty four for thirty eight. As a rookie these are very impressive numbers, but this will not be enough to beat the Patriots and their veteran defense.

The Patriots are coming off a close game with Buffalo. The Patriots are working on rebuilding their offense to the prestige that they had last season. New England is held down by their veterans on the other side of the ball. The defense of New England is led by veteran linebacker Jerod Mayo. He will share his game experience with the younger players. Leadership will need to be passed from the veterans on both sides of the ball to some of the newer additions to the team. The New York Jets are not a team to be looked over.

The New York Jets stunned the very good Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a game winning field goal in the final two seconds of the game. Rookie sensation Geno Smith is leading this New York team into a place fans could only dream of. A place of confidence against their conference rivals, The New England Patriots. He adds a whole new dimension to their offense. The ability to run. New England has to game plan for an efficient quarterback in the pocket, but also a quarterback who can step out of the pocket and make a play happen. The Jets lost several key players on defense to injury and other reasons.

With the loss of essential players to the Jets’ defense, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots have the advantage over the Jets with their aerial attack.
