Gates Looks to Set Tone for Off-Season

[fb30]

Raridon, Wilson, and Farinok all look like nasty dudes. So I'm hopeful for the o-line at least.

But you don't want any stories about it. Just want goon and gloom.

I guess the other option is no coverage of the team at all.

I don't want any stories about how this year accountability kicks in. I'd be much happier with something along these lines. "We are looking forward to next year. A lot of good and bad form last year. We obviously want to improve on what we did well and sh!t can what didn't work. Not gonna lie, new guys, new QB, losing some great guys to graduation. Be hard to replace, but we have guys who we think can impact immediately. Really, at the end of the day, we just want to put our heads down and go to work. Let our play speak for us. No one is more disappointed than us in whats happened last season".

 

Sadly, the only guys who backed it up were Peter and crew when they came back for their senior year. "Unfinished Business"

 

Just my .02......I'm simply tired of the coach speak, the "this year" we are better/faster/stronger/focused etc....... I've bought in every year, and will again, but still frustrating....

Soooo....if a player openly talks about assuming leadership and what his plans are in the off season to make the team better, you don't want any reporter mentioning it or reporting that it was even said.

 

Just concentrate on all the problems of last year and how horrible it was.

I'm tired of guys talking about how crap will be better next year and it's the same thing....So yea, keep saying the same stuff. It sells papers. Silence doesn't. If you want to believe that next year we will finally have real leadership, great. Have at it. I am just tired of the same comments year in and year out with no better results.

 

It's not doom and gloom it's the reality of a program stuck in neutral. One moment we look like we are back and then we implode, on national tv, again........ Maybe Gates is the catalyst we need. That'd be great. I'd love to hear stories from camp about Gates running to another practice field and laying some slack DL guy out ala Jason Peter. I'd love to hear stories about guys holding each other accountable for drops, fumbles, penalties, missed tackles etc.....But until it translates on the field, it's just words.

Pardon me if I have absolutely no desire to have good young players in the program fixated on being miserable about failures of the past.

I don't see where lo country ever said that.

 

I agree with him, talk is cheap and we've heard this same nonsense for seemingly ever yet nothing has changed.

 

I'd rather hear nothing than hear this trite drivel.

Our top ten O linemen next year will have 6-4* and 4-3*. Not sure when the last time would have been that our line (as a group) would have that highly of rated players coming out of HS. Almost all of them are underclassmen still.
