What’s going on, everybody?
It’s been a while since I’ve last updated, and plenty has happened since then. Most importantly, we’re back in the locker room for offseason conditioning and I couldn’t be happier.
Coach Tuten has got us going, working hard, but as far as I’m concerned it’s fun. He has taken a little different approach this offseason — it seems like a lot of the stuff is a little more football oriented. He’s got us doing just enough to get guys pumped, but not enough to kill you.
Right now I can tell you the attitude in the locker room is definitely excited. We’ve got some changing faces and changing packages, and we’ve got some new coaches we can really get behind. The direction they’re taking us is a direction that I feel will be very successful. We have the pieces, now we’re ready to put the puzzle together and make things happen this season.
One of those pieces is Andra Davis — he’s a natural leader. He’s ready to motivate guys and he’s right there working as hard as anybody. He’s a vocal linebacker and a vocal leader — traits that we can definitely use in the locker room and on the field. The same can be said about Brian Dawkins at the safety position. It seems like that secondary will be pretty tough this season.
Now I know plenty of you want me to address the recent trade. First of all there were a lot of new changes anyway — over 50 percent of the locker room is made up of new guys. It’s kind of a weird feeling, because guys knew what was going on but at the same time we’re just trying to get better and focus on offseason training. It really wasn’t as much of a distraction in the locker room as it was maybe in the media and on TV. That just kind of shows the maturity that guys have in there — people weren’t talking about it much, we were just getting to work.
I’ve met Kyle Orton, and he’s a cool guy. There’s a lot of changes in the locker room and he’s a part of that. He has come on board and is already working hard, so we’re happy to have him.
But the good thing is when it comes down to it, it’s all about playing football, and we’re getting closer to doing that. We’ve got mini camps coming up next weekend, so I’m ready to get things rolling. Just being around the guys in the locker room has me excited for the season. We’ve got a lot of talent right now, and we’ve got some coaches that I know will put us in the right places and right situations to play our best football.
We’ve just got to take it one step at a time, and next weekend is the first step.
