Manny pissed at the D for lackadaisical effort at Practice

A good piece from Ryan Wooden over on the CANES Die Hards page about how upset Manny was on the D was just god awful yesterday.

You could tell this was coming after how the D was just mailing it in the last few practices. After yesterday, Manny had enough and needed to send a message. So, according to Wooden's piece, Manny had them against a chain linked fence in the back of Greentree, and had them do padded wall sits and those if you've done those, are painful and grueling.

Manny told Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald that he needed the players on D to understand, that last year is over and done with. The guys that were there last year (RJ, Jumbo 7, Chad, and Toolbox Trent) are gone and will soon be in the League and that they couldn't rely on last year.

Some of the players to a man said that yesterday was a horrible day of practice. Hopefully, after yesterday's punishment, they get the message loud and clear, last year's effort and resting on their laurels, will not be good enough. They need to get better and I believe they will do so because this year, there are big things expected out of this Defense and this team. If they want to get to play on New Year's Day this year, its really going to be up to the D to make that happen.
