It’s All About The Fundamentals

July 19th, 2012

New Bucs coach Greg Schiano made it clear from the first day he stepped on the practice fields this spring at One Buc Palace that the Bucs were horribly undisciplined last year and the basics were to be stressed.

Whether it was biting the football or toes on the line, fundamentals were to be stressed, demanded.

After the second day of rookie training camp Thursday afternoon, Bucs linebacker Lavonte David noted that core belief of Schiano has not wavered.

“We’re just going over the basic things, Day 1 fundamentals,” David said.

If Schiano is going over the basics as training camp starts for rookies, Joe wonders if the veterans can expect the same when they start practicing a week from tomorrow, July 27.

    RahRah had team fundamentals to:

    Frosted mug;
    Domestic drafts;
    Never less than 6;
    Low man picks up the bill;
    Leave for the club at midnight.

    Allow Kellen not to practice and repeat dumb phrases while muttering mental toughness.

    Sounds like coach of the year to me. Lol

    Schiano will deliver, probably next year unfortunately.

    IMHO Coaches always coach fundamentals, keep their players grounded, & if they’re lucky enough to have a pro-bowler/future HOF’er on the team–motivate that man. The only trick to the procedure is doing it day after day.

    @Thomas:
    So glad to see you write something positive about the Bucs, I mean the part where you said Schiano will deliver. Glad to finally have you as a fan.

    Thanks Pewter.

    My previous comments about Price and Okoye are positive also.

    I am getting excited for the season. Still shaking off the disgust of the last 3 years but I am sure by week 1 I will be the optimist.
