Dr Z Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 Zipboy, can you give us any info on what he said? Or did he get you so fired up your out running a marathon right now? Quote
Lee Adams Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Posted October 11, 2008 nothing new..just haven't really heard him before...the usual stuff about playing for the team,etc etc...no X's and O's...no inside stuff... Quote
zipboy Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 Yes, nothing too new, he just had a 5 minute talk about the Can't game and how Akron is 4-1 against Can't. Joe Dunn asked him if they should not count score and have 3 media writers look at the stats and declare the winner and that got him going. It was pretty much Can't is elitist, I hate Can't, losing the Wagon Wheel a few years ago was the worst moment of my coaching life, I want to beat those aholes every year. It was pretty inspiring. He also is a very articulate interview.On a few side notes1. His son hurt is shoulder in camp not a car accident as I think someone posted on here. What worries me is that his son had surgery on the same shoulder in high school according the Fleming. But he should be good to go this spring. They don't know where to play him. He lost about 10 lbs after the surgery, down to 200. 2. He has not seen much of the scout team defense, but going by what JD says, the young LBs look good and he named Marvase Boyd and Josh Richmond as a couple of guys who are impressive.3. One interesting comment, he talked about the mental approach and it takes different guys more time or less to figure it out. He mentioned how Jalili Carter had all the tools but mentally it just clicked a few weeks ago and he was real high on JC. 4. Shawn Lemon, a guy that kind of frustrated Fleming with his consistency and has taken his game to a new level this year. 5. No marathon this week - due to my piss poor planning, I missed my 1st Akron v Can't game in 15 years due to running around the streets of Portland last weekend. The Oregonians thought I was a madman Sat afternoon as I got the final 5 minutes of play by play over the phone and started whooping it up. Quote
Dr Z Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 Thanks for the update ZB, stop by the tailgate party today. Quote
