Reading between the lines in some of Keim's and other local media posts - the team is and, in recent history, has been about "We are talented enough to win" instead of "regardless of talent, winning requires hard work and consistent attention to detail." The locals talk of a loose team that jokes around after losses, dances to music while waiting to run drills, and, generally, seems to believe winning requires only some talented players.

You want to stop making mental mistakes? Pay attention, practice harder. While some rare players are talented enough to be the exception (and I would suggest none are on the current Skins team), the "you play like you practice" rule is applicable to everyone at this level. Not sure the current players believe that.

I thought one of the positive things Shanny brought to the team was a step away from the sense of entitlement and the culture of "we are good enough." Apparently, I was wrong.

Hey Redskins - You are not good enough. You haven't been good enough. AND you won't be good enough until you consistently practice like you aren't good enough!
