Being awesome isn't easy, it's hard ass work. Freeman as a first year HC should have them working hard as hell. The players after 3 losses, 2 of them terribly embarrassing should definitely be working hard now that they've had a taste of greatness.
I'm not implying that we roll the ball out there and say we're running on you, so lay down.
I'm saying if we bust our asses and play to the maximum of our ability, even though it won't be easy...the end result should be a huge mud hole stomped in their ass.
Not taking them lightly, not saying it's easy....Greatness isn't easy, but if Greatness is what we aspire towards then kicking their ass at what we do best should be our goal. Mixing in some passes to loosen them up sure, but run from running on them like Kelly typically did...absolutely not, that is a weak mentality and it's how you foster weakness in your team.
If we think we are a great running team, then let's prove it. If they think they have a great run defense....prove it, stop us!
