Good point. I was thinking of starting a thread about this actually. Seems like a lot of guys on the team have really taken it upon themselves to come to camp ready and serious about winning.

I think Gibbs' "hands-off" policy this spring played a big role in that. It's the whole "treat us like adults, we'll act like adults" concept. We talk about class in another thread. I think this an element of that. Having the class to come prepared to work when it's time to get down to work.

Yea, but here nothing has changed. Taylor losses weight and some say he is too small, Lloyd gains weight and some say he is doping.

I get this vibe too, but then I wonder if I am being spun. Lacking big name free agents they've decided on the hard work angle.

But, Gibbs does seem to have his jaw pretty firmly set. I think he gave them the old, "you guys have embarrassed me for the last time" speech after the Friend leak and they seem to have taken it to heart. I'd give anything to have a transcript of that meeting. At any rate, we can be proud of this team. They seem to be mostly stand up guys. It's going to be a great season. I can feel it. Not the usual feeling of past years which was like when your wife/girlfriend asks if her butt looks big (not at all, sweety), but genuine excitement.
