Marcel Reece - Training Camp Blog: Wednesday, August 6, 2014 lyrics

Photo by Tony Gonzales It was a good day today for us, mainly because we're getting ready to go to Minnesota and beat up on somebody else. That's the main goal for us and that's what we're all excited about. That's what's bringing excitement back. We had a good practice today and we're still in training camp mode, but we get to take a break from training camp by preparing for Minnesota now. Most teams have a little more time to prepare, but for us we're more worried about us right now. It's the second week of training camp. Everyone is getting everything under their belts and we're opening up the playbook here in training camp, and then we get here to the first preseason game and the vets get to get their feet wet again and just get the muscle memory back of playing someone else full go and bringing the pain to somebody else. The young guys really get to have their first live action and it's fun for vets like myself to get our plays in and have a good showing, give our fans something to be excited about and then be able to get back on the sideline and not necessarily relax, but focus on the young guys and see what we can help them with and see what they can do better and to cheer them on and help some of these guys make this team. I look at everybody. I like to see the look in their eyes. I like to see the pa**ion for the game. I like to see them never give up. I like to see them playing hard. I want no hesitation. That's what it's about really, because when those lights come on, that's all you really have. You don't have coaches behind you telling you what to do. You don't have other players screaming from the sideline. You don't have the training camp atmosphere or the practice atmosphere. This is a live game. The lights come on and you have another team, another guy on the other side of the ball trying to make a team too. Everybody's going full go, and it's a fun deal to watch guys grow and if you pay attention to games, you see guys grow every preseason game. Every game you see another young guy grow into themselves as a football player in this league.
