Last year, we had a lot of (arena) veterans and I pretty much knew who I was going to cut going into camp. This year, I don't know. I can't tell you who will be released. I was going down the list today and I don't know who's going to make it and who's not.
I think this is the most talented training camp roster we've ever had but not in terms of (arena) experience. We're going to see how they pick up the arena game and adapt. The guys who can pick up the game, that's who we're going to go with.
I think tonight (Gipson) pretty much solidified himself.
Stats, we were toe-to-toe. It's the turnovers and the mental part. We gotta soul search a little and find the little things we did wrong.
I was too easy on them in training camp. So I made a point of doing conditioning.
We'll bang heads and get to see who can play and who can't.
That's what everyone talked about. If you need a good two-way player, sign Bruce. He's versatile, and that's why we jumped on him.
We like him. He's quiet, comes to work, does his thing and is a good ballplayer.
Bruce has really caught on well. The coaches are excited about him. They call him 'The Silent Killer,' because you don't hear much about him, but he's out there making plays.
I told them to check themselves to see whose heart is in it and play. Our Wednesday night practice was our best all season, especially on defense. We were all upbeat, flying around and having fun on the football field.
The bar is set high. Our goal is to win the Arena Cup, that's it. I'd rather do it with defense, but we can score a lot of points. As long as we get wins.
Any big win brings guys closer together. Guys are more confident. With three games under their belt, they're getting better and better. We're starting to jell. The camaraderie is getting back, and you gotta have that for a championship.
