Hello everyone! I'm officially announcing that I'm switching from linebacker to safety. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
1. It's definitely going to be an exciting adventure, and coming into such a prestigious position can be daunting, but I feel like we have enough experience/mentorship that I'll be able to get caught up pretty quickly
2. Obviously going from a small school to a large professional league is gonna come with a culture shock, but I feel like I'm handling the transition pretty well
3. I normally let myself have a few days of rest before I get back to studying film and working out on my game. The coaches practically had to give me access to the training facilities due to how often I asked for someone to come out and let me in.
4. That's actually a tough question. I would say a good waffle is better than a good pancake but a mediocre pancake is better than a mediocre waffle
5. I guess the default answer would have to be liquor since I don't really like beer, but it really depends on what people are drinking
6. My goal is to be the best player I can be, whether that be in the Hall of Fame or the Hall of "Great at his role"
I don't really get cocky often, but every team I've been on has been a championship contender
And I have no reason to believe that this team is any different, this team just gives off championship energy
1. Not particularly, I'll play hard no matter what city I'm in, but the NSFL is a long way away, I think it's best if I focus on the DSFL for now
2. Probably not, I've been wearing this number my whole life, no reason to change it now
3. It's a lot of fun! I've been able to meet a lot of.... interesting people to say the least. Plus, being on the best team doesn't hurt
4. I go through phases, sometimes I like ketchup, and sometimes I don't, as for mustard I'd only recently tried some and its alright, but you can't really go wrong with either
So obviously being a low pick in the draft you don't really have much expectations put on you, but that also comes most likely being a development/depth piece, which I was perfectly fine being, but I thought I would talk with the GMs and ask if they needed me anywhere. Eventually they asked me if I'd be interested in switching to safety, and seeing as linebacker and safety have a few things in common, it felt like a no brainer
1. Hey man everything happens for a reason
2. That's rough, but hurting is normal after a long relationship, just don't fall into a trap and let her use you
3. I'm going to assume it's because they didn't see you fit to raise a child, let alone multiple
4. I uhhhhhhh...... Have not, but I'll uhhhh, let you know if I do
5. Oh wow, an actual question about football. I think the biggest skill I'll be taking with me is my drive/mind for the game, I've never been a top tier athlete, so being able to read/digest an offense quickly is pretty essential. Of course it'll take some getting used to, but I trust my teammates and coaches to help me catch up and help me maximize my skills.
6. You know what, how about you get back to me at the end of the season, we can get together and I can see whether I can help you get back onto your feet or not

Has the transition into the DSFL from college gone well?
What does Brendan Lanier usually do with himself in the offseason?
Pancakes or waffles?
Beer or liquor?
Goals for your career?

I know the Buccs made it all the way to the Ultimini on the back of the greatest defense in football history last season, is that where you want to get again this season? Is this a championship team?

Are you going to switch your jersey number alongside with the position swap?
What are some of your overall thoughts on the DSFL so far?
Mustard or Ketchup?

Why did my wife leave me?
Why do I still love her, after she cheated on me and left me for my father?
Why did CPS take my kids?
Where is my son? I forgot to pick him up at school a week ago and I’m just remembering now. Have you seen him?
What skills will you be taking from your previous position to help you learn how to play your new one? Do you think it’ll be difficult for you to adjust to playing at defensive back after all these years at linebacker?
Lastly, do you have any spare change? I got mugged in an alleyway a week ago and they stole all my beer money. The divorce and the alimony that I’ll have to pay is already hitting me hard, and I still have to pay for the house that I got kicked out of due to my restraining order. It’d help a lot.
I look forward to hearing your responses.
PS: What do I have to do for a dollar? I’m desperate.
