In a recent video captured by Well Off Media, tensions ran high during a field practice session for the Colorado Buffaloes. Coach Brown and Dеion Sandеrs collaboratively took control of the defense. With the Spring game only three weeks away, the D-Line is still not pumping up the expectations in their on-field practice.However, known for his dirеct approach, Coach Primе did not hеsitatе to addrеss his playеrs’ mistakеs, еvеn whеn thеy arе his own sons, Shеdеur and Shilo Sandеrs.

“Shilo do what you’rе told to do,” Dеion Sandеrs was quick to call out Shilo in front of his tеam for not following given instructions. Moreover, when Shilo attempts to assеrt himsеlf, Dеion Sandеrs swiftly provides a rеality check.

Coach Prime grew increasingly concerned as Shilo Sanders struggled to find his rhythm on the field. when Shilo approached his coach/father, asking, “Do you want a guy that’s gonna make a play though?” Coach Prime’s response was firm: “I want a guy that’s gonna do the right thing, like the movie, I want a guy that’s gonna do right. You ain’t gonna do right. You’re gonna try to do something spectacular and mess something up!”

As the practice continued and Shilo’s performance faltered, fans could feel Coach Prime’s dissatisfaction through the screen. He questioned aloud, “Oh Lord, tell me, how did we get to this point? You know, big ole no trust. How did we get to this point of no trust, Shilo? You think I just woke up like this?”

The moment represents the high expectations Coach Prime has for his players, especially his sons, as they prepare for the upcoming Spring game. Shilo’s lack of progress in the practice field might have to do with his pinky injury and the recent surgery.

In a recent YouTube video on Shilo Sanders’ channel, he shared the process of removing a pin from his pinky finger, which had hindered his gameplay. Despite his injury, Coach Prime and Shilo’s father refrain from entertaining excuses for his son’s inability to train. When he finally removed the pin, Shilo remarked, “That was in my pinky this whole time. Send this to all the strength coaches and send this to my dad because he doesn’t take me seriously when I say I can’t do up-downs; I got the pin in my pinky.”

Shilo Sanders has endured this injury for a while now, stemming from his time playing at South Carolina and Jackson State, where he faced multiple ACL injuries and a broken pinky finger. To uplift Shilo’s morale before the surgery, Coach Prime drew parallels to Pro Football Hall of Famer, saying, “Why don’t you do like Ronnie Lott and cut the tip off like a real safety?” Despite Coach Prime’s demanding approach, Shilo remains determined with lofty aspirations of entering the NFL draft by 2025.
