[QUOTE="Techster, post: 82378, member: 360"] I remember CPJ telling a story about his time at Navy on a radio show I believe. As we know, Navy has weight restrictions so their OL usually gives up a LOT of weight against most DLs. One time they were playing a really good team with a stout DL. One particular O -lineman was getting has butt handed to him series after series and the whole OL wasn't doing much better. CPJ finally addressed the entire OL on the sidelines, and after dressing down the group, he singled out that one Olineman who was getting his butt handed to him. He went off for a while on that one guy (we've seen him do it to players so we know it's not a pleasant situation to be in), and finally ended his "speech" to the that lineman by saying something to the effect of "What's the matter? Is he better than you or something?!" To which the lineman just said "Yes he is." CPJ said the kid was honest about it, and anyone who saw the kid against the DL (who may have ended up in the NFL if I remember correctly) knew the DLineman was better than him, so there really wasn't much CPJ could say to him. You can only say so much because it's hard to overcome physical superiority. The reply caught CPJ off guard because football players don't usually admit when someone is better than them, and he said he still laughs about it. [/QUOTE]
