[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 143900, member: 959"] I think he was a BIG part of it. It seems to me - and I am not near as connected as some of the super users here with direct lines to the program - that CPJ and Ch. Derrick Moore had the guys going in the right direction - but that in the past our Defense was not getting it done. That can often (and I suspect did at least in subtle ways) manifest into the O feeling like they HAD to get a big play, or Must score each possession and as that pressure built it became too much to handle. It also necessarily demoralizes the D side of the ball. I do believe that CTR brought in a better vibe to the D and has they guys coached up and playing better ball than they would be under a different coaching staff (see the myriad examples this season of players being interviewed about big plays almost ALL citing game film and prep time as what put them there). I think that has fed off of the early success and the gains the whole team has seen from the S&C guys brought us to where we have the closer's mentality. Now when I see the guys holding up 4 fingers for the close of the 3rd Q I get pumped knowing CTR has made the right adjustments and the fitness level of our guys is going to let them compete and close down the 4th Q on both sides of the ball. Winning breeds confidence quickly, but it is long lasting when the guys know they put in the work to get to where they are. [/QUOTE]
