I get it's on paper, but this team is stacked. I think the players see it.
I think the networks see it as well and it's why they're scheduled for 7 primetime games.

I think Matty nailed it. Justin, you too.
The players get it. The roster is stacked. This is a rare TEAM. Guys are getting paid, that's okay.
But I'm so sick of somebody holding out (or holding in).
This team understands the gravitas of this team, of this season.

I love how much they seem to like and support each other. I'm excited to see this team play.

This is the result of establishing a culture. Expectations. Holding themselves and each other responsible for giving their best. Hopefully winning is the byproduct....but KOC is very good at winning football games. The next step is playoff wins.
p.s. I was also wrong about Javon Hargrave being out, he was there with everyone else running drills which is great. Fries is the only one out and we won't see until July, KOC said they are being extra cautious.

I also understand that Josh Metellus and Isaiah Rodgers were both held out from active participation due to injuries.
