      I'm pretty sure you're supposed to call them "little people" Piz.

        I thought DM was fired??
        "This year, we did what we were supposed to do. We fought as a team. We fought as a team. And the fact is, we gotta go back and go to work, to make sure we finish this next time. That's all we gotta do. This right here makes us stronger. Let's understand who we are as a team. Let's understand this right here makes us stronger." - Ray Lewis, January, 2012.

          now I am of course assuming that no similar display of UNITY was evident under coach Hall or coach DM or else there would be no reason to write the article ie. it would not be viewed as story material if it was same old same old at Esk camp.

          as an observer this would suggest that THE WAY was being beat into them - and regardless of talent this was a very public display that the team is getting the message and living it
          I can't speak to this year's camp, not having been there, but from going to TC from 1994-2010 there have been few years where there wasn't an overal atmosphere of team building. The only ones that stood out from that mould would be the Kay Stephenson camps IMO. What's being sold is not some revelation never seen before. Media scribes have to have something to write about at the end of the day because very few of them actually take the time to watch practice in any detail. Most choose to stand in a group and BS with each other, and wait for their avail and write the story dished up to them.

          Part of the "eskimo way" is not to tell me what you're doing or going to do. We leave that for others to puff their chests up and crap. Do what you're planning to do and you can talk about it afterwards when you've accomplished something.

It very likely may be same old same old. And if it isn't, it means nothing until the bullets start flying for real. Then we'll see what their character really is. Pretty easy to be positive in TC, not so easy after that.

            None of this means anything yet.
            You got it

              Fred Stamps even went as far as too say that there is a championship atmosphere around here this year
              He said that last year too.

                One thing I will say about training camp this year. No fighting amongst the players. Every year DM was here guys were chuckin' knuckles. To me, that doesn't embody the Eskimo Way.

                Kavis has his boys focused and playing together so far, not duking it out and grabbing shovels to beat another teammate sensless.

                Eskimo Way...respect of your team and teammates perhaps?

When a team fails like it did last year there can be no "untouchables" !!!
                  but there are guys on here that felt the 5-2 run late in the season showed that the season wasn't as big a fail as one thinks. I think you hit the nail on the head, ET is blowing up what was a bad team that only really performed when it was too late. New blood to restablish winning ways by removing all the guys that weren't trying when it really mattered earlier in the year

                    At the moment there is no spin, except for the fluff pieces in the media that mean nothing either way. It's "wait and see" time.
                    Out of my mind; back in five minutes.

                      I've never had a problem with the occasional donnybrook. The best weapons are forged under high heat...

                        Nah, what exactly does teammates fighting solve? Explain that to me and look at the Esks records the past few years under DM and tell me that it did for us? A boatload of nothing man.

                        You wanna duke it out? Save it for your opponents. Fighting in camp solves nothing.

                          nothing like beating a teamwork with a shovel to develop chemistry and embody that Eskimo Way

                            Matthew's teams were usually good for an occasional tilt. Didn't seem to hamper his success rate much over his career

                              Sometimes the best of friends start out as eneimes.
                              When you don't know that you don't know, it's a lot different than when you do know that you don't know.
