Coach Weaver adding dawgs to this coaching staff. Here is the Dolphins new OLB coach Ryan Crow:
“Everyday when you wake up if you don't make a choice to get better, make a choice to improve, make a choice to win every rep: you're leaving it up to chance.”
The Really Rottens should’ve won more often. First of all, they were the only ones fucking cheating. Second, the Scooby Doobies were probably all baked. Third, the Yogi Yahooeys were mainly comprised of out-of-shape animals.
Benito Santiago had more homers, more RBIs and the same number of Gold Gloves as Joe Mauer. He was also way cooler and would throw you out from his knees.
At the time of this speech, the main takeaway from Dan Campbell was “I don’t care if you have one ass cheek and three toes, I will beat your ass.”
Looking back, there’s a much deeper meaning here. The coaches, the front office and the players all knew what he meant and they all bought in.
The culture of this Lions team was built off speeches just like this. Possibly built off this exact one.
“We’ll go a little longer. We’ll push a little harder. We’ll think a little deeper and little sharper.”
“Normally I’m 100% but I only need 85% to beat you.” (Think of Ragnow on that Vea block)
“…just gotta get a hold of them though. If you just get a hold of them and start dragging their ass out to the deep dark abyss…you can drown ‘em. And that’s what we have to be. That’s who we have to be. Because that’s our domain. Because we will tread water as long as it takes to fucking bury you. We’ll go as long as it takes because we can and we choose to.”
Everything Campbell said in this speech is the team the Lions have become. #AllGrit
In 1962, Wilt Chamberlain missed eight minutes the entire goddamn SEASON and that was because he got ejected one time. He was so worn out by the workload he averaged 50 points and 25 rebounds per game while fucking 33% of the people he met that year. Load management my ass.
