Dave in Green Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Coach Amato is looking and sounding young and energetic for a 66-year-old guy. What a great addition to the Zips' coaching staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 The Beacon Journal's George Thomas on day 3 I'm really enjoying the things I've been reading and hearing about Pratt. 6' 5" with decent speed and good hands sounds like a MAC defensive back's nightmare to me!

zen Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Seeing this on "day 3" & August 6th scared me: What a great contrast this is when you compare Amato's message and and Ianello's and read between the lines. Ianello was talking about guys trying to get enthusiastic and be physical (these are football players here, remember, and this stuff should be a given, but he "likes it") while Amato is talking about high level performance psychology, and not being beat by adversity or prosperity during the progression of involved competative scenarios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 What a great contrast this is when you compare Amato's message and and Ianello's and read between the lines. Ianello was talking about guys trying to get enthusiastic and be physical (these are football players here, remember, and this stuff should be a given, but he "likes it") while Amato is talking about high level performance psychology, and not being beat by adversity or prosperity during the progression of involved competative scenarios Amato knows what the Zips defense needs to do to win. He knows where they're at, with a pretty high resolution. And he knows he'll put it all together. A refreshing, informative 58 seconds. I liked the flashback to last season with Ianello. Broccoli Rob fed us a big steaming helping of nothing with every video segment. My favorite one was his immediate follow up to the complaints on ZN.o about is cocky, FU on-camera attitude. Some administrator subsequently forced him to bring his kids on-camera to show what a softie he was. One of the more forced, uncomfortable things I've ever witnessed. Don't think it fooled anyone.... Love Bowden. Love Amato. Love having experienced "pros" coaching our team instead of arrogant, learn-on-the-fly hackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Love having experienced "pros" coaching our team. So do I and great points. zen as well. Soneone once asked me about the guys I knew who played in the nfl and why they were so good. The answer was not they are physical and "excited" all the time. One guy couldn't crack an egg when he hit you and he played multiple years in the nfl. The answer was they were able to do the same thing over and over at a high level. One play was the same as the next and they did it well. Everything was about the next play and not the play before or the 100 in the future. Brains beats emotion every time. Bill Belichick was a brains guy. Bill Cowher was an emotions guy. Belichick beat Cowher on a regular basis and in games that matter because of professionalism. I'm glad to see that type of professionalism on display with our Zips. Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I feel better and better about our future, and we haven't played a game yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
