2026 Bill Walsh NFL Coaching Internship Video

Hello.

 
My name is Brad Freeman. I’ve applied to be a player personnel/coaching intern for; this will be my 5^th year. I have followed the game religiously since I was 6 years old. I’ve written a 150-page book of notes on various schemes throughout the league, and a list of the various coaches that run those schemes. I’ve done all this despite having cerebral palsy, which has given me life experience that’s unmeasurable, and I believe I would be a valued asset to any NFL team that I was a part of.

Thank you.

2025 Bill Walsh NFL Coaching Internship Video

Hello.

Ever since I was about five or six. I've followed football religiously. I have a passion and a desire to coach and teach players, as well as try to help them with my own life experience in dealing with cerebral palsy. I have unconventional life experience.

Thank you.

2024 Bill Walsh NFL Coaching Internship Video

From the age of 5, or 6, I've always been around football.

From a schematic standpoint, I've had high school, college, and pro coaches read my 50-100 page book of notes, and love it.

...And from a personal standpoint, I really think I can help the men become better people because of my life experience with cerebral palsy.

2023 Bill Walsh NFL Coaching Internship Video

I followed football. Wrote about it, watched it, or had family and friends that were coaches and former players. I wrote a 100 page book of notes that high school, college, and pro coaches have all read. From a schematic standpoint I know what I'm doing. And... from a personal standpoint, I really think I can help the players become better men.

Thank you.

Why I Want to Be an Artist???

 

Hello fine people.

This is Brad Freeman again.

I was asked this morning, why you wanted to be an artist??? And I thought I'd make a video to express my thoughts that are on my written blog. The B.A Freeman Experience (https//:www.thebafreemanexperience.blogspot.com) under why did I want to be an artist??? That post.

For me it boils down to three things:

It gave me... Art gave me a vehicle to openly and honestly get my message out to the masses. Secondly, it helps me feel like I'm being a productive member of society, so that people will take me seriously as a person, hopefully. And not just a person with cerebral palsy, who can't walk under his own power, needs help with everyday basic needs, because of his range of motion, motor skills, and muscle tightness. But does everything like everybody else, just highly modified. And third, it might give me some sort of income for when I have no one else to depend on...

So these are why I chose to be an artist. Theater, film, music, art, football coaching, martial arts etc. Anything considered an art.

Thank you for your time guys and gals. Till we talk again.

Bye bye.

Happy Cerebral Palsy Day!

Being that today is National Cerebral Palsy day...37 years old (I've had CP for 36 years, 7 months, and today)! Yet I'm still awesome, and making history! Take that universe!

2022 Bill Walsh NFL Coaching Internship Video

 

Hello. My name is Brad Freeman. I'm listed as Eric Freeman. This is my Bill Walsh NFL coaching internship YouTube video companion with my application. I'm 37 years old and I live in Kansas City Missouri. And I’ve followed football since I was six years old. High school, college, and pro. NFL…I've even watched XFL, USFL. –um-- You name it. I've watched every league. Arena even. –um-- And so I'm a huge football fan that's an advanced fan looking to become a coach. I'm a hard worker, highly intelligent, I use the internet as a teaching tool, along with streaming services. –Um--. I'm a Game Pass subscriber. I've also compiled a 50-to-100-page book of notes, and sent it to various coaches around the NFL, and in high school, and in college, just to show my knowledge. My areas of expertise are the Dick LeBeau/Dom Capers 3-4. As well as the Rex Ryan 3-4. But I'm open and willing to learn about any system of defense, offense, or special teams. And I've networked with some big-name coaches and I'd like to really continue doing that because it will open other doors for me, in order to do ventures after I'm done coaching the game. I have, like I said, I have followed football since I was six years old, even though with my cerebral palsy, I've never played a physical down before. I’ve had friends, family, other coaches in other sports leagues that were my best friends in high school. They--. So, I've always been around it because they hung out with me.

So... I'm looking to expand my football platform because I'd really like to network with a lot of coaches and I believe that I could--. Players and coaches. I believe that I could be an asset to any team, if they just give me a chance. I promise! I won't let you down! And I hope all 32 teams will seriously look at my blog and this YouTube video, and give me an opportunity to show what I can do because even though I've had cerebral palsy my whole life. It only affects my physical—um-- things day to day. It doesn't affect my mental, or emotional—um-- things whatsoever. So, I've learned to compensate using the internet. And I will not let you down. And you would get a championship caliber coach, even though I may have some physical challenges. Because I have life experience that no one else does just by having to learn how to adapt in a world of fully able-bodied people with cerebral palsy.

Thank you for your time. And I hope you'll seriously consider this, whichever team views this. Thank you for your time. And I hope this finds all heads of all 32 teams well. Thank you for your time.

Bye-bye.

*Note: I didn’t post a video for my 1^st year of applying in 2021 because I didn’t know how to use YouTube yet.

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day everybody! Today is a day to remember anybody we’ve lost really. But it’s an especially important day to remember those servicemen and women of the Army, Army Air Core, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard, past and present, that gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives, in-service to our country. A lot of the times they give up not only their physical well-being, but mental and emotional stability as well, if their wounds aren’t physical, so every day Americans can live in freedom. For all those committed to the cause of liberty, I say thank you!

What’s Everyone Doing During Their Quarantine To Assault Life?

Just checking in… Making sure everyone’s doing okay. So what’s everyone doing during their quarantine to make the ultimate assault on life that I keep talking about?

Brad Freeman's All-Time Lifetime Basketball Team

My all-time basketball team during my lifetime.

Starting Lineup:
C: Shaquille O’Neil (Orlando Magic/Los Angeles Lakers)
PF: Karl Malone (Utah Jazz)
SF: Larry Bird (Boston Celtics)
SG: Michael Jordan (Chicago Bulls) *favorite player and team growing up
PG: Earvin “Magic” Johnson (Los Angeles Lakers)

Bench:
6. SG Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers)
7. SF Lebron James (Cleveland Cavaliers/Miami Heat)
8. PG/SG Steph Curry (Golden State Warriors)
9. PG Steve Nash (Dallas Mavericks/Phoenix Suns) *where I learned to pass from crazy angles
10. SG Dwayne Wade (Miami Heat)
11. C David Robinson (San Antonio Spurs)
12. PF Tim Duncan (San Antonio Spurs)

Non-Roster Players (in case somebody gets injured)
13. SG Ray Allen (Milwaukee Bucks/Boston Celtics/Miami Heat)
14. SG Reggie Miller (Indiana Pacers)

*The 92 Olympics in Barcelona Spain were the 1st time that NBA players were allowed to play in the Summer Olympics, instead of the mandatory college players. And yes, I owned and still own the “Dream Team” poster. I remember those players vividly, even though I was only 8.

*Being that the Kings had moved from Kansas City to Sacramento literally the year after I was born, I adopted the Bulls as my team.When leagues, have no teams tied to a certain city’s market, you get games from all around the country.

*While I appreciate Kobe Bryant, and Lebron James’s game, I’m not as awestruck because growing up I liked Michael Jordan, so I’ve seen it all before when it comes to what I like to call his 2 reincarnations. Plus, could Lebron or Kobe dunk the moon? I have the Michael Jordan: Space: The Final Frontier poster still. That’s the one where Jordan is dunking the moon over his head.

Thank You to All Healthcare Workers and Scientists Battling COVID-19

I just want to give a big thank you to all essential healthcare workers and scientists that are on the front lines of battling this pandemic of Coronavirus. Thank you so very much for protecting the rest of us, and putting yourselves in harm’s way possibly. There’s nothing I can say that would be good enough. Stay healthy, stay safe, stay home!

Coronavirus Home Quarantine Update

Hi. I’m doing pretty well. With my cerebral palsy, I kind of have to do everything from home anyway being I’m not able to walk under my own power, so to a certain extent everyone is living how I live every day. Doing things from home. And using the Internet to compensate for not walking around. For me it’s another day, but at the same time when I do go places I’m cautious but not freaked out yet. From day-to-day, I’m not sure how to feel. Some days I think I need to stop being the wimp, and just suck it up with the whole pandemic thing. But then again, do I want to risk catching some life threatening disease? So my mood changes on a daily basis unfortunately. I’m not sure how to feel to be honest… I’m not germ phobic either. Stay healthy, and stay safe.

We'll all be fine eventually! Like I said in a post weeks ago, you have to find ways to preoccupy yourself, make the ultimate assault on life, and achieve greatness!

Coronavirus (COVID 19) PSA

Hello fine people,

With the unprecedented times we’re living in, I Brad Freeman, your resident wheelchair-bound bro on the go and future President of the United States possibly, has this PSA to share with you.

In regards to Coronavirus (COVID 19) I am cautious, but not drinking the panic Kool-Aid yet. My food and toilet paper surplus is at a normal level. All this panic buying is drastically reducing the supply needed for those who really do demand it. And with the advent of cable, and satellite, CNN and Fox News, as well as their local affiliates, are scaring everyone by constantly saturating the airwaves with the worst possible scenarios.

On another related side note, all humans can do as a species is what they should already have been doing for years. Basic hygiene… Wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough, cough and sneeze into your elbow, don’t shake hands for a while, and sanitize and disinfect more than usual. My God, my hands have never smelled more like Aloe and Lysol at any time in life, then now! Lol. If you truly have symptoms go get checked please.

With all the different closures because of this, I feel a bit of irony personally. You see, having cerebral palsy since you were 5 months old, and not being able to walk around under your power, I use my brainpower, and the Internet to compensate for not being able to walk around all the time. I do all the things I do that were written about in my blog via telephone conferences, email, mail, and people driving to me etc, so for me in a weird way, it’s just another day. Everybody else is living how I live to a certain extent. But I do feel bad for the people with the jobs that don’t have any work from home elements to them. People always get on me for not having a traditional job, and having to do things from home. It’s hard for me to find a job because I’m not able to walk under my own power, but I do the best I can with what I got. My point is if there were more lucrative jobs for people to do from home, then we’d all be doing it, but unfortunately there’s not. So in that sense, I can very much relate to everybody right now.

And for all the parents, being that you have to home school most of your kids, try khanacademy.com. It’s a website I use to brush up on my basic subjects, as well as take practice tests at a post college level.

Don’t get discouraged, you’ll make it through. If I can learn to compensate with cerebral palsy my whole life, then I’m sure all of you that take walking under your own power and the freedom you do have for granted, will be fine in the long run! What I do when I wake up, you ask? What can I accomplish today? I have the Internet. Let’s go kick ass, and make sure history remembers you for all eternity! Everyone see, what you have to do is reach deep down inside, and find that relentlessly persistent part of you that will not give in, or give up! What you have to do is make the ultimate assault on life itself. Be the best you can be. And pass the time by finding things to preoccupy your time. I’ve done this my whole life, if you haven’t noticed. If I believe in myself enough to do it, then I certainly believe all of you can accomplish the same greatness!

2019 KC Chiefs Projected Depth Chart

2019 KC Chiefs Projected Depth Chart:

There are 53 men on the football roster. At the beginning of training camp (July), and Pre-Season (August), the team starts out with 90. And by the beginning of the 1^st week of the Regular Season (which is usually the 1^st week of September), they cut the Pre-Season roster to 53.

With that being said, there are 11 players on the field for each team at a time. So here’s how I think the roster will break down. The 1^st name is the starter, and the other names at each position, are his chronological backups. By the end, I wonder how close I get to who makes the roster.

Offense (25):

QB: Patrick Mahomes, Chad Henne, Chase Litton (3)
RB: Damien Williams, Carlos Hyde, Darwin Thompson (3)
FB: Anthony Sherman (1)
WR: Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, MeCole Hardman, Marcus Kemp, DeMarcus Robinson, Gehrig Dieter (6)
TE: Travis Kelce, Blake Bell, Deon Yelder (3)
LT: Eric Fisher, Cameron Erving (2)
LG: Andrew Wylie, Nick Allegretti (2)
OC: Austin Reiter, Jimmy Murray (2)
RG: Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Khalil Mckenzie (2)
RT: Mitchell Schwartz (1)

 
Defense (25):
LDE: Alex Okafor, Breeland Speaks, Emmanuel Ogbah (3)
LDT: Derrick Nnadi, Xavier Williams (2)
RDT: Chris Jones, Khalen Saunders (2)
RDE: Frank Clark, Tanoh KPassognon (2)
LOLB (SLB): Damien Wilson, Darron Lee (2)
MLB: Anthony Hitchens, Ben Niemann (2)
ROLB (WLB): Reggie Ragland, Dorian O’Daniel (2)
CB: Kendall Fuller, Bashaud Breeland, Charvarius Ward, Herb Miller, Mark Fields, Rashard Fenton (6)
FS: Daniel Sorensen, Juan Thornhill (2)
SS: Tyrann Mathieu, Jordan Lucas (2)

Special Teams (3):
K: Harrison Butker
P: Dustin Colquitt
LS: James Winchester
H: Dustin Colquitt
KR: MeCole Hardman
PR: Tyreek Hill

The Punter Dustin Colquitt is the Holder, MeCole Hardman is the Kick Returner, and Tyreek Hill is the Punt Returner to save roster spots.

2019 KC Chiefs Projected Special Teams Post-Draft

2019 KC Chiefs Projected Special Teams Post-Draft in my opinion:

K: Harrison Butker

P: Dustin Colquitt

LS: James Winchester

H: Dustin Colquitt

KR: MeCole Hardman

PR: Tyreek Hill

2019 KC Chiefs Projected Defensive Starters Post-Draft

If the season started today (updated from my previous post before the draft).

Our new defensive scheme is a 4 - 3 (4 Down Linemen, and 3 Linebackers) base 7 man front with a 1 gap Under Front alignment (Defensive Line shifts to the weakside, and the Strong Side Outside Linebacker moves up on the line of scrimmage. That makes the defense look like a 5-2 with 43 personnel. Sometimes, the Strong or Free Safety will drop down close to the line of scrimmage, and the defense becomes an eight-man front, or what’s known as the 46 (Brian Dawkins in Philadelphia, and probably Tyrann Matthieu in KC). Now everybody in the NFL does a little bit of everything because it’s the pros and a copycat league. But our new defensive coordinator comes from the Jim Johnson tree (‘99 – ‘08 with the Philadelphia Eagles) and prefers a 2 High Safety alignment with Press Man Coverage, mixed in with Man Blitzes, Double-A Gap Blitzes, and Zone Blitzes depending on the situation also.

2019 Projected KC Chiefs Defensive Starters in my opinion after the draft:

LDE: Alex Okafor (Emmanuel Ogbah starts if Okafor doesn't switch sides)

LDT: Derrick Nnadi

RDT: Chris Jones

RDE: Frank Clark

LOLB (SLB): Damien Wilson

MLB: Anthony Hitchens

ROLB (WLB): Dorian O'Daniel

LCB(CB1): Kendall Fuller

RCB(CB2): Bashaud Breeland

FS: Juan Thornhill

SS: Tyrann Mathieu

In the Nickel (5 DBs) against a spread offense, take out Anthony Hitchens, and replace with a Slot Corner. Probably Charvarius Ward.

In Dime (6 DBs), take out Damien Wilson and Anthony Hitchens. Add another Safety, Jordan Lucas along with Charvarius Ward (prefer Armani Watts).

Cut Tremon Smith (These are my cuts based on the undrafted free agents we signed). There will probably be more cuts, but I’m not sure off the top of my head, which they are yet.
