Quotes From Kubiak

[Dancerdog]

I agree with the philosophy of putting the most talented AND intense players on the field. Dunta Robinson really lays the wood when he hits. So does DeMeco. I've seen Will Demps pound opposing defensive players. Travis Johnson just doesn't seem to have the intensity of some of the others. Here's to a defense that plays with some ATTITUDE! I'd like to see a Ray Rhodes type of defense that swarms to the ball and hits with some conviction. I know health issues are a problem with Ray, but I'd sure like to see him as our defensive coordinator. ATTITUDE! That's the difference between a mediocre and a dominating defense. Just my two cents worth.

I am not sure that the "prototypes" will be the norm in the NFL. Everything goes in cycles and it is possible that speed might be in vogue, over size. Nice to see that barring injury, our 53 will be the most athletic group wearing the steel blue helmets.

In another thread, people were burying Richard Smith. I am anxious to see this 11 (again barring injury) and if this defense applies pressure like his reputation indicates.

What I am liking is this new eta of accountability and settling for mediocrity will not be tolerated. I think after 6 years, we have a football team. I want our guys to go into an opposing stadium and just suck the life out of a crowd and opponjent (like the Panther game last year) and the opposition will know that they cannot win.

I am so pumped. I am just hoping for a healthy camp.
