Connor Ham Blog Post


I am reading the book Inside the Helmet by Bill Walsh. I have read 3 chapters My book so far has been talking about the quarterback position and about Boomer Esiason and how he has grown as a player. I like the book and it is a good book because its explaining all the positions with great detail from former and current players telling them. The author wrote this either because he has a passion for football or interested in how players think when they do what they do. The theme is what players think when they are playing football. Boomer Esiason because he is the only character I know about and he has grown by the way he plays how much time he puts in and how he sees the game."Quarterback is the hardest position in professional sports". I dont have any questions about my book.
I am reading Inside the Helmet by Bill Walsh. I have now started reading about the running back. They are talking about the running game in the NFL and how the game has switched from running to passing more. I still like this book and it is good because its interesting to hear how the players think when they are on the field. I still believe the author wrote this book because he has a passion for football or curious in how players think under pressure. The theme is how players think when they are in the moment and have to act fast. I like Boomer Esiason the best because he was a great player and is very good at explaining how he played."Yeah! or sometime before when I am breaking through the line Im kind of quiet then boom I bust out of the water." I dont have any questions.
         I am reading Inside the Helmet a players view of the NFL by Bill Walsh. I am reading about wide receivers which is my favorite position. So far I have read about quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers. I do like this book I like how it describes what they think its really cool to get inside of their head. It is a good book and is worth reading. He probably wrote it because he has always wanted to know how they think when they are running or going up for a catch or reading a defense cause I know I do. Best character is still Boomer Esiason I just find it unbelievable how he can read the defense and how hard he worked to get to where he is and just how fast his brain and eyes work to how fast his body acts. The media asked Michael Irvin in the division championship if he was going to make any great plays and he said "watch this" and walked away. No questions.
