Wanted to get & give thoughts on the press conference from Saturday (I dont see it on RR, but it is on the podcast;
link)
My thoughts
1) This was an "in person" press conference. Why cant we get a Mic to the people asking the questions so you can actually hear the question? Looks like we could do better than that.
2) Liked the answer to the first question about emphasis on special teams. A little over the top IMHO calling our gunners from last year "Elite" and "some of the best in the country", but that is just CGC style. Maybe one day I will get used to it ....... but I doubt it. Its like Pastner starting everypost game with something to the effect of ..... "they are one of the best teams, best coached teams, best (fill in the blank) in the country" no matter who we played.
3) Looks like the buzzword for this year is Focus. Used it a lot. Stressed that there is not a lot of "rah rah and silliness". So, Im old school and I am a lot more confortable with Focus and think it will take you a lot further than rah rah and Silliness and other "gimmicks". Implication is that is what we were going on previously and that has changed. Good direction in my opinion
4) Talked about the depth at receiver. 19 in camp. The way things have started off, its a good thing we have it.
5) How was NIL "always in our DNA". Not sure what that means? Maybe it would have made more sense if I could have heard the question.
6) Talked a lot about the catapult numbers. Hope they translate to results.
