Thoughts on the week of Norcross

     Allot of our problems versus Stephenson can be solved if we choose to be more precise in our commitment to excellence! A 6 inch step here or stepping inside/outside, would have changed everything…being a little more patient in our throws, or concentrating a little more on our catches…get a snap, kick, and all of a sudden we would have viewed ourselves as winners! Let me tell you something --- in my mind…you guys crossed that bridge on Day 1 when you were willing to step in the ring and put yourself out there…allot of people never know the disappointment we felt after that game. They have no idea of how bad it hurts to see someone in the paper attack their half a years worth of work. They didn’t see you guys here all summer, catching route after route…or all winter lifting weights. We did --- and were with you every step of the way! WE don’t want you guys to stop at just being winners in our eyes. We have challenged you to become champions. Champions overcome doubt! To overcome the doubt and discouragement that people around you are selling (…don’t buy it! Because once you buy their negativity, every other thing they try and sell you will be easy…),we need to have a great week! We cannot revert back to the day when we didn’t know how to run ed, or zone, or reach or etc…WE MUST BUILD ON THE GAME FROM LAST WEEK, WE MUST FIX THE INCHES! We have to go full speed, it does us no good to go half speed all week and then try and get to full speed on Friday Nights…put the effort in through the week, when we go, go full speed! If you can’t go full speed, get out…we have set up two deep subs all over the field. Everyone has a substitution and someone who is vying for playing time behind them. Let’s get better this week…let’s learn our assignments and do them right, right down to the inch!
