coach Payton:
What can you do to get the team’s focus back?
“I think we have a smart team and they understand the challenges and they understand that we’re going to have to play better to have success when the second season begins. Ultimately they also realize that this team will be measured on how we play in the postseason. I think what’s most important is for all of us to closely look at some things that we have to get back to doing that we’ve done earlier in the year or in any of our wins. Pointing out those things and making sure that we have that balance of practice, meeting time, rest – all of those things as it leads up to this game and then also the schedule as it leads up to the Divisional game in our case. That’s where the focus has been today; trying to make sure they understand what’s in front of them and yet I don’t want to have to have this meeting we had today as we check out of lockers and pack bags in the playoffs. We have to find the corrections and not view it as a positive, but view it as an opportunity for us to get things corrected before it becomes a more important game, and that’s what we’re going right now.”
