Yeah the attitude is key. The team has definitely felt like it has lacked identity for years. McLoughan is clearly going for tough, physical, and nasty.

If you set a tone and build in that direction, all of a sudden guys who you never thought were tough start taking pride in that kind of trait. I think it can be contagious on a team and breed a culture.

Chip Kelly has his sports science, fitness, and fast pace. Seattle has its punishing defense. We clearly are going for one thing: brawlers. McLoughan wants us to win in a streetfight.

I love it.
