St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher often tells veteran players they will have to expend 10 percent more effort in an upcoming offseason than they did the one before it if they are going to maintain their ability to compete for the same playing time they've had before.
Essentially the message is that the status quo can't be on the agenda, that every time you roll over and hit the snooze button, the guy who wants your job already got out of bed and put the proverbial nose on the grindstone.
And this week, sprinkled through Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning's first real public comments in his team's home state since the 35-point loss in Super Bowl XLVIII, it was fairly easy to discern Manning's theme for the coming weeks and months.
