Nothing against the Labor Day holiday but I couldn't wait for it to be over. I have always been, I am, and I will always be a football fan. I loved the start of college football this past weekend. And, I'm even more excited about the start of the NFL regular season this weekend. Like the start of a race, you get into the blocks, and anticipate the starting gun. It's important to get off to a good start because you want to be out front setting the pace as opposed to chasing the leader. That's the goal - start fast, finish strong. That holds true in racing and in football - both game by game and for the season as well. I know it sounds cliche but my concern and that of my team is on the St. Louis Rams. We need to get off to an early lead and we have to try to build on that. It's important that we take that kind of business approach. Hopefully by games end, we have a chance to briefly celebrate a victory before moving on to the next opponent. On a sad note, the part about this time of year that I don't like is the roster cuts. Fortunately for many of the players who do not make their team's final rosters they have the ability to make a practice squad or are picked up by another team. For the majority of the 27 players cut from each team, it's the end of the road. It's a tough business and this remains the ugly part of it. The players we released gave great effort and helped us become a better team. Two in particular - Jason Davis and Michael Gasperson - have been around here a while. I have seen them train and get better each year. They came out and worked with me in Arizona and I know that their abilities should find them a place in the NFL.
