SIDELINE #3
Sims and Bart Smiled at Lindsey, then nodded a grin to Bob as well as they set themselves for the questions.
I deal alot with the Offense, and stick my nose in on Defense just to get on Cal's nerves... both men chuckled, This was a 'looser' practice as we tried out some things we wanted to try...all in all i thing it went well...
Cal shook his head with a small smile,Except for that Fake Field Goal... I guess there is more then one reason to call him 'wildcat'...but he saw something, Heather delivered... I'll tell you what?.. We learn fast, that won't happen again, no mater which team tries it. I thing both side got some questions answered
....
Bart chuckled again, looking up into the stands as if he might find , those who said the Dragons would be behind.Well, Linds You've been around here since... December? You have seen our practices.. i make sure i get out allotted time in pads... when we practice in shorts or sweats.. pads and head gear is always worn. Our People..even those who are injured , are in better shape then most other teams starters..but? there is time for rest..right?
Cal added, To Some teams, commentators and all that, it might seem like we had too long of a rest? One guy who isn't here anylonger , said it himself... but, he wasn't here since May , like most of the guys. Our Coaches, players and Staff, had couple days to celebrate. yeah? they could relax if they wanted, but if you had come into the Lair, you would have saw guys running, throwing, lifting, swimming, All that. The Dragons rarely sign idiots..and if we do, they don't stay long
Lets put it this way, Linds... in the wars going back to wooden Planes..all the way up to now.. people could fire weapons at the enemy, the barrels would get hot, and start to deform, making the weapon less reliable... Then you have to replace the barrel in the heat of battle... You let it cool down.. you can go again... So? those days we had off? You can bet , guys were doing something, and , doing homework..Me? i question teams who make their players 'over work', and you can Tell, by how they struggle in some games... Lets face it..As Dragons, we are here to win, and make the fans happy with us...a 'down game' for us, would be scoring 99 points! Both men laughed again. They seemed very at ease.
...........
Sims gave Linds , one of 'those' smiles,well..Linds... we used thier defense to see what we could do to it...Quite frankly, i don't know if we'll do that many more times?... If we're Going to do that, I'll ask a local highschool team to scrimmage us..
Cal picked dup on it right away,and you saw the offesne? i mean.. bronk had to dummy hismelf down runnign that. If you put bronk, in that offesne. they would score 3 more TDs a game....but... he chickled and Looked at Bart who starte d laughing as Cal added,They'd have to put up with Bronk on their team, gods only know who long thier IR list would be!
.....
Sims Motioned to Cal....Yeah..well.. Bronk can handle running an offense like that, I wouldn't want Duke to pick up bad Habits..we added some things to make it fun.....we ran some other Teams offenses a few time, that wasn't too bad...this offense... I dunno? They best hope it doesn't rain... there's is no way that team is playing catch up football.Now Harley? She has alot of ground to make up, so she'll be doing some extra things. trick plays are part of that, even if we don't use them, its a fun way to keep everyone focused.
Call Nodded and gave a shrug...My People Just beat people up...
.........
Planning will be going on until kickoff.. we barely peeked at the films and found an open book, we'll just figure out what will naturally fall into our laps, and then focus on the other things
Cal then said a bit Coldly, as he looked into the Camera.Let me address the elephant in the Stadium... The Saints think they are the 'big bad'..they aren't.. maybe in the NFC South.. but we are the NFL's Big Bad... you can print that People get jacked up when they cheap shot us... cores roll down hill like a Swiss avalanche ,and... we flat out don't care how they feel about it.. So? If I was the Saints.. I'd try to keep quiet until game day, and try to get out of Hardrock Stadium with some dignity left.
....
these next 12 days. will be full of hard work... we will practice Sunday and Monday, since Tuesday is a travel day, and Wednesday is that circus , media thing... But there isn't one of is who has ever participated in a Superbowl, so we are going to have fun and get ready
