    No he needs to go through the what is known as the lebron therapy.
    Step one: head band for good luck for a year or two
    Step two: romaine on steroids like lebron did maybe hair implants lol
    Step three: after a yr or two remove headband.

    Ben Jones and Alfred Blue could have a hell of a contest trying to determine Who Sounds More Southern?

    A little off topic but my dad went to the same high school as Cushing did in Pear River, New York. Bergan Catholic, well this small school had a get together for people in Houston two or so years ago. Well my pops went and the man Cushing there was with his fiancé at the time maybe wife. My dad said she was a dime and last night is have to agree. Don't know about his sister. Anyways Cushing and his wife turned out to be really cool they talked bull**** for 15 min. (Everyone wanted to take to Cush). Anyways cool story bro I know but Cushing is a real nice got off the field and f'n maniac on the field. Gotta love it. I want more Cushing vs Blue drills! Love how he called him out. Imagine if he comes back finally healthy and with that extra step he lost the last couple of years!

    Also maybe more clowney recovery... Or maybe that's a secret the Texans are keeping! I'm sure they are withholding lots of information within the show, as in who may be a secret weapon next year.... Returners please!!!!!

    The thing I like about Cush is that you didn't see him specifically messing with Blue until Foster went down and Blue became the man. Could be editing, not sure, but Cush, in a way, is being a coach on the field, preparing Blue for what he'll face from opponents.

    Cush just seems like he is being a dick, but I guess that is just football.

    I dunno, Blue is going to have to be the man so you kind of have to try and rough him up to see if he can take it. If that exercise was a real game scenario he'd have given up sack after sack leading to potential fumbles or even a QB injury. Blue needs to step up his game.

    A couple of things:

    1) Cush was giving Blue **** because 1) Blue was actually getting the better of him in the first couple of plays shown and 2) Blue gave Cush a little shove after one play and that pissed Cush off.

    2) They only showed Cush dominating Blue on one play. They just showed it 3 times from different angles. If you thought that was Cush repeatedly dominating Blue then you're wrong.

    Forgive me if I don't jump to conclusions because one player dominated another player on one play during practice. Especially when it came on the heels of the other player winning (at least in terms of not giving up a sack) the previous couple of plays.

    It almost looked like a little tough love, rather than bullying on Cushing's part.

    Great point.

    Yeah, I was wondering how many times they'd show that play after a few slow montages in a row.

    Just watched episode 2 this morning. Anyone else think BOB is forcing extra "f***s" into his dialogue? The language seemed more natural in the first episode.

    The best part was the exchange between the 2 DBs.
    "Calm down, calm down"
    "Nah man, we're gonna cut"

    Cushing is great when mic'd up and I liked the exchange with Blue. Cushing was just toughening Blue up. Most of the highlights they showed were over 2 years old. Really hoping he can return to form and help solidify the defense. F

    I realize I'm late, but how exactly can I watch this? I thought Xfinity customers would be able to but when I go to On Demand, can't get it,

    Any help is appreciated and will rep! Thanks in advance.
