Conditioning and Fundamentals....

[CANE4LIFE]

We are a WELL conditioned football team. I mean one of the best, if not THE best in Division I right now. This team does NOT quit. Our D plays lights out for 4 quarters, and that is something we havent seen in over a decade here. I mean we flat out beat the SH*T out of these guys in the 4th quarter.

The fundamentals, tackling, playing your assignments, conditioning, covering, blocking, are the single biggest improvement that AG has brought this program. YOu can have all the talent in the world, as Shannon and COker had, but if they are not well tuned, conditioned, and doing the LITTLE things right, they are not going to be better than an "average" team.

AG is a f*cking beast. Man if this guy can continue on this trajectory, we will have found yet ANOTHER up and coming superstud HC to take us to the promised land.

Exactly. Do the little things right, and the rest will follow. I have to say, tackling and conditioning are the two single biggest things I have noticed since AG got here. This team can play 60 minutes of football with ANYONE. And we WRAP UP and tackle people. NO more of that weak @ss Shannon era arm tackling. If you do the little things right, it sets the stage for that speed and talent to take things to the next level.
