    He is great but I think it's the whole team and the coaches. They are building an identity and getting all the players to buy in. This is looking like a breakthrough season for us. I am not sure if we will win it all but we are going to be a top 5 team I think.

    Getting in Avidja mug in a way that didn't draw a tech but made sure the message was sent was a pro move there.

    It led directly to the refs calling avidja for an offensive foul a few plays later for a similar play.

    What a great addition please don't get hurt

    We have been missing this grit and toughness since the last Chip Squad.
    What a huge pickup by Rob. This guy just makes the entire team give more effort on D and that will never be quantified by a box score.
