Give them credit for changing defenses. We were doing a pretty good job against their man (-to-man). When they changed to a zone, we know what we had to do but we weren't executing it.
Dave is probably our best all-around player. We've moved him into the sweeper role this year [replacing graduated league All-Star Brian Zona]. He's a real solid leader in the back, and he sets things up well.
If we do well in this three-game stretch, we'll have a shot. We feel good about where we are and how we're playing. Right now, we want to see the guys jell together and continue to play better.
The big thing that will be lost is daily print competition, and I think competition makes all of us better. It enhances the content quality. It enhances every aspect of the work you do. You know that you need to be better than the day before. I think that adds an edge to your skills. It adds an edge to coverage.
Today is an emotional roller coaster for us here. We are trying to stay focused, however, on putting out the best newspaper we can tomorrow. We have the opportunity and obligation and privilege to write our own obituary. We are in the process of trying to figure out how we are going to do that.
This addresses some real world needs for things that are occurring right now for returning troops and for things we anticipate in the near future. It's a pretty good package.
Robbie is probably the fastest kid on the team, and has a beautiful touch. He has played everywhere off the bench for us, and has fit in wherever he has played.
It is a special day for just the two of us, and we look forward to it all year.
I've got a lot of emotions churning around in me right now. One of the most important is to work with our folks to help them get hooked up elsewhere.
