[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 305903, member: 77"] It's good to be confident, bad to be overconfident. As a fan, it's less important, it doesn't affect game outcomes. Well, it does affect the outcome of your sanity. I wouldn't try to glean too much insight from this vid and, from it, predict a massive victory by the Jackets. A lot is said about having extra time to prepare for the option. Well, this is the part that makes the most difference, imo. The defenders get extra reps practicing proper technique in defeating our style of blocking. I bet they're working on the interior cut block avoidance, too. That's the part that matters more, imo. If we can't control the LOS, it's gonna be a long night and it won't matter what the the little guys are doing on the perimeter. Two more things to consider before getting too high on our chances: remember we always start slow and that we always seem to underperform when expectations are high. We usually seem to do better when expectations are low. Don't know why, it's just always worked out that way. On second viewing, that drill is not bad. It's about stopping your forward momentum so you do run into the block and using "strong hands" on the helmet to push the blocker down. I'm sure they'll practice this technique in game speed situations, too. Anybody who's coached knows you introduce techniques in situations that are easier to understand. Major league hitters still hit off tees to work on proper form/technique. [/QUOTE]
