Different day, different team!  We challenged each other last night as a staff and as players to get better today and everyone responded.  I was really impressed with Kevin Ramay, he came out with great focus and executed at a very high level.  Kevin seemed to be having a great time playing football today, and our team as a whole seemed a lot more comfortable competing with each other.  We'll get our first real looks at what we have on the two lines tomorrow when the shoulder pads are on.  So far, this day has been a win for us.  More film and meetings today, then the always entertaining Shoe Kick competition as our team building competition event.  Note:  Vans shoes (SoCal originals!) fly further than any other brand of shoe for the shoe kick.  Both the slip-ons and the lace-ups work well, but I'd give a slight edge to the lace-ups.  A well broken-in Vans shoe can fly over 30 yards with the right kick.  I'll have results in tomorrow's entry, in the meantime, over to the weight room to check-in with Coach Holmberg and the boys, then back into meetings.
