Uncle Dick's "records" have nothing to do with the team we field in 2010. Neither does Herm's famous rookie training camp donut runs. What does matter is that the players we have today recognize that they can, indeed, compete and win, but not without a focus and commitment to true professionalism - including the ability to compete on a purely physical level with anybody in the league.
In other words, once the body is trained, the mind will follow. Wax off.

This gets forgotten all too often. Teams at the bottom of the barrel take years to get to the middle, never mind getting to the top.
