The ultimate form of preparation is not planning for a specific scenario, but a mindset that can handle uncertainty.

Vikings play the Falcons Nov 9th. We’ll need to pick up at least 3 more kickers.

❤️ @ApparentlyJxck has officially announced his retirement from competing in Rocket League as a player
Thank you for everything, Jack! 🫶
A true class act, incredible player, teammate and a joy to coach!
Can’t wait to see where you find success next 💪🏼
I’m going to be moving on from playing and go into coaching in the next season of RLCS. Thank you to all my former teammates, coaches, orgs and support staff that I’ve had the pleasure of working with throughout my time playing. And the biggest thank you to all my fans for all the support throughout everything, you guys are the best ❤️
I’m keeping this post brief because I made a YouTube video where I explained my thoughts in full, link in replies. But overall, I’m very happy with how my career as a player went, and I’m extremely excited to see how it continues as a coach 😁
I’ll also be continuing with the content the same as the last few years, with just even more focus especially on the streaming side since I’ve been enjoying that a ton recently and it’s been going well. I hope to see all of you there as well as on my YouTube as always :)
See you next season, the announcement of where I’ll go will come soon 🤞
I’m a sucker for effort man! Great snapshot of inspiring coaching and effort from D Jack!
Dirty, grimey Minnesota football, man.

Nick Saban once held up Dallas Turner as a lesson for young players.
Not for a sack. For how he handled sitting on the bench.
Now, in his third NFL season, one man has more pressures than 7 entire NFL defenses.
Turner showed up at Alabama in 2021 as a five star recruit. When the season started, he was third string.
He did not complain. He watched how Will Anderson prepared, the guy who led the country in sacks that year, and did the same thing.
When injuries opened a spot, he was ready. He finished his freshman year with 8.5 sacks.
Saban told a room full of coaches about it.
"Dallas Turner, on the third team when the season started."
Saban said Turner "works his butt off," and when his chance came, "he was ready to take advantage of it."
By his last year at Alabama he was a consensus All-American and SEC co-Defensive Player of the Year. Minnesota traded up to take him 17th overall.
Then he had to learn it all over again.
Through 14 weeks of his rookie season, he played 202 snaps. One sack.
So he did what he did at Alabama. He found the best pass rusher in the room and stayed close.
That was Jonathan Greenard.
"If I didn't have J.G. my rookie year, I probably wouldn't be where I am mentally, physically and spiritually."
"He played a big role in my career. Honestly, just being a big brother."
Year two: 8 sacks. 4 strip sacks, tied for the most in the NFL.
This offseason, the Vikings traded Greenard to Philadelphia. So Turner became the big brother. After practices at training camp, he stayed late to run wind sprints with the young defensive linemen.
Then the games started.
Next Gen Stats has him with 20 pressures, the most of any player in the NFL.
That is more than 7 entire defenses. The Bears have 19. So do the Jaguars and the Steelers. The Cardinals have 17. The Dolphins have 16. The Giants have 12. The Rams have 10.
Sunday in Chicago, he ended the game himself. Fourth and 2, one second left, the Bears needing a touchdown. Sack.
Vikings 9, Bears 3.
"DT being our closer, finishing the whole thing," Kevin O'Connell said. "DT just keeps showing up."
Andrew Van Ginkel said it best.
"It's been a long couple of years for him, but he's earned this spot."
Third string at Alabama. One sack in 14 weeks in Minnesota.
Both times, he waited, learned from the star in front of him, and took the job when it came.
Saban called it a lesson.
Turner keeps proving it.
