“Get off the Leash and Bite Somebody”

Kyle Brandt is good at calling it how it is.

Here’s another accurate “pump up speech” –

“Here’s what you’re gonna do. You’re gonna beat the Jags. You’re gonna win that bad division. Because when no one believes in you is when no one can beat you. This is not the end of Marly and Me, this is still the beginning of a dynasty. Now get off the leash and bite somebody.”

More or less, however –

The disappointing thing is going right back to the disrespect card and the worn out “underdog” thing. The most rudimentary self-motivator is all this team knows. “Dynasties” transcend this entry-level type of thinking.

Time’s yours.
