You're right, Brud. The intangibles like leadership, motivation and desire have to be cultivated. I think the 'Skins coaching staff is relatively comfortable with our players from talent or skill level perspective but this pre-season seems more about focusing on evaluating each players commitment to the team. I haven't heard one player grumble and complain about how bad the coaching staff is and you know someone at sometime would want to let something slip to the press.

Here's the question: Since most final pre-season games have the starters play only a limited amount, what will the 'Skins do? It would be nice to go into the pre-season knowing that John Hall has enough left in the leg to ick an extra point.
