This morning, premium season ticket holders had a breakfast at the Adams Mark Hotel...Buddy Nix and Gailey spoke and answered some questions.
I have to say, regardless what happens this season, it is like night and day compared to Jauron.
My favorite guy was Buddy Nix in his short speech.
1. When asked about why we should believe that they really want to win and have a plan to win even though we have heard it before his response was:
"Do not complain to me about labor pains, just show me the baby" HAHAHA
2. He said that he does not care about players feelings...he is not here to care. They have a job to do and that is win, and that is all he cares about.
3. He said if guys are afraid of competition, then they can find a new line of work because they are in the wrong field and on the wrong team.
4. Said that this team will continue to look for more talent, but that they have to hit on the 1st and 2nd round pick this year, and then work really hard to hit on the rest of them. If a guy earns it, he will play regardless where he was drafted or not.
5. Buddy Nix made it a point to say if they do not win, do not blame Ralph because he has given them everything they need. Who knows if that is true.
Chan Gailey:
1. Gailey even called his one answer a "cop out". Said he has been around winning and does not hope to win, intends to win.
2. He said he cannot give us an answer about why we should believe that this will be any difference, that the only way he can prove it is to win. We know this.
3. Then he was asked a question about how he is asked about what record would be acceptable to him. He said he cannot answer that because the record he wants is 16-0 because you plan to win every game, you do not hope to win. If you don't believe you can win you should not even play the game.
He said if I was to say 10-6 was the prediction, let me know what 6 we will lose so we don't dress for the game and no one gets hurt. He said I do not hope to win, I expect to win every game and we will play to win.
4. He was then asked about the quarterbacks and said firmly they will look at ALL options and will continue to do so. That neither quarterback has proven anything.
5. He also talked about injuries, and he said some are unavoidable but the "bad luck" comment is not entirely true. Said it starts with a good conditioning program, which he has instituted here based on experiences prior to here. Winning teams have the fewest injuries he said.
Cant wait to see how camp will be run.
