[QUOTE="InDaAZ, post: 1838075, member: 528754"] I can agree that this team could occasionally use a grit booster shot, but I don’t think that is the sole issue. Just one layman’s observation: The offense is new (5 out), the defense is new (switching), and the personnel are new - all leading to inconsistent play. I see guys working hard to implement what they do in practice, but quickly abandoning the plan when things go sideways during the game. At that point the leaders try to get the team back in it by reverting to what they think works best for them, while others become confused and hesitant. Only Sencire (so far) consistently goes in and balls out with abandon, but he has his limitations. I don’t know what the answer is, but simply calling for the guys to ‘get tougher and play harder’ is only part of the solution, imo. [/QUOTE]
