Now these guys are professionals and no matter how difficult the system they should be able to understand and succeed, yes. But if Bates who from what I hear has a simple system to pick up on gets these guys motivated to kick *** you know the team will respect him because of what he's done in the past, we should be in for a decent performing team. I'm not expecting much right from the get go, but after I think the 3rd or 4th game we will be stopping people on those crucial third downs a lot more times then we did the previous year and that should turn into more points an HOPEFULLY more wins.I dunno if I gave their perception accurately, but how they explained it, it made a lot of sense to me.</blockquote>
