Redskins vs. Eagles week

[Hog1]

Like many of you I have played team sports throughout my childhood, and into my high school years. If I had any talent, I would have continued into college. I also played in many competitive leagues of one kind or another since then.
I currently serve as an asst. coach on my son's High school Lacrosse team as I have for the past couple of years.
I have always LOVED the juice! The adrenalin that comes with....competing.
I honestly cannot understand the concept of .....being flat?
My God, these guys compete at the highest level on earth. How can there be a problem "getting up for a game"???
I don't get that...........

Becasue to you it is a passion to them it has now become their jobs and for most the J.O.B. doesn't create much passion.

You may be right, but.....I cannot believe that. Every one of these guys has MANY years invested prior to becoming a pro that they played with a level of passion for the game I cannot even understand. It's difficult for me to believe you can just turn that off.
Anyway............

I don't think they turn it off more like go through the motions. Plus back to the job and feeding your family theory are you really going to go balls to the wall knowing you might hurt yourself in a meaningless game, thus maybe jeopordzing (sp) your career.

i played competitive sports all my life too and college lacrosse and sometimes man you just arent into it. its not like your not trying but your head isnt analyzing the field, other times you're very in-tune with the game and look for any lil advantage or pattern to exploit.

this isnt a knock or in reference to coach zorn but in my experience, good coaches make sure your ready for every game, bad coaches will tune out every now and then and its easy for the team to follow suit. also having your star players being vocal and focused every game really allows the less talented players to feed off your leaders energy. ray lewis is always pumped and i havent seen teh ravens D come out flat, ever.

^^^ sorry about that

Heard its going to be cold with possible sleet sunday. awesome!! i really hope the skins come out to play even though theres nothing to suggest we wont get the same effort weve gotten seemingly every home game. really not looking forward to the game but im sure once i get some beer in me and the lights come on i wouldnt want to be any other place. . . .i hope.

go skins!!!
