[FONT=Cambria, serif]Said Deehan: "I've got to say the biggest difference is Malcolm in the weight room. Think about it: he's the guy you spend every day other than spring ball and fall camp with. We're with him every day in the summer, the off-season. He sets that mind-set. He's got our bodies right . . . we're a lot stronger where we need to be. We're no longer just big, fat power-lifters."[/FONT]

So far I love everything I have heard coming out of spring practice. And I won't say it out loud but there is something strangely missing already under this new strength and conditioning program.

I'm so happy we've gotten stronger and faster in the off-season. That's refreshing!

Cannot wait to see Tony Jones on the field.

Cannot wait to see Tony Jones on the field.

He had a great run on Sunday. Play went left, he followed his blocks, hit the hole... and then cut it back across the field underneath the pursuit for a long touchdown run. Looked good, man.

Regarding Blacken, I know that the emphasis on competition and accountability is a good thing. I think that focusing the strength training on more core strength will translate better to the game of football. Time will tell.
