Message: [QUOTE="SmilinBob, post: 731622, member: 857"] The biggest jump should be from the first game to the second. Did you ever take a test and thought for sure you'd ace it only to find out you didn't study hard enough? That's kind of what I'm thinking these guys did...now they know what to expect and what is expected of them. As a coach you try to simulate a lot of things but until you have a real game you can't really get it through the players heads what is really needed until you gain some real world experience. McDonald HAS to make sure he knows what he is going to call before the play like playing chess...have each move in your head and once the play is done you already know what to do. I don't know what the communication problem was but it has to be fixed with everyone on the same page. Big week of practice ahead. [/QUOTE]
