Dedication
What is dedication? it depends on where you are getting the definition from, ETYMOLOGICAL DICTIONARY OF MODERN ENGLISH defines it as, To Proclaim, devote in set words. Websters dictionary defines it as To devote or commit to some cause. Now my definition of the word, Is one word XPRESS! No other word should be used, by playing for the Xpress you have to be all that the definitions from these two books has defined.The Xpress only wants and needs players that want to commit to the organization, hard work, dedication, and a team player attitude. There are plenty veterans players and you know who you are that have not been coming to practice because they are not dedicated, and maybe don't have the guts to tell the staff that they don't want to be part of the Xpress family anymore. Their are some players that I know why they are not at practice and you know who you are, so the message I am sending is not geared toward you! the numbers that we are getting are unacceptable, we are getting a lot accomplished but the numbers could be better! Each practice brings out new talent and the way things are shaping up the Xpress may be starting rookies at key positions, am I scared? No! because the talent level that has come out is better then the Xpress had last year, and I'm very confident that this team is going to be better. We have a good competition at the QB position, a great battle at the WR position, and excellent competition going on in the secondary. The Xpress staff is going to have to work real hard trying to figure out a depth chart when the time comes because the talent level for this years team is very high. Stay tuned to find out how these battles turn out.
