not going to paste all of it, just a few pieces that really stood out to me:
Azzanni didn’t come right out and say it, but his opinion is pretty clear. Part of the reason White hasn’t taken off already is due to poor habits the previous coaches failed to erase in him. That may be a bit unfair but is it totally untrue? After all Mike Groh and Curtis Johnson have since left for other teams. Was it voluntary or were they ushered out the door? Impossible to say but Azzanni didn’t lack for confidence in his own process. The 40-year old understands by far the biggest issue White is dealing with. He has used the entire offseason up to this point focused solely on correcting it. So far the team brass and even White himself are apparently surprised by the early results.
“DIDN’T HAVE TO DO THE ROUTE TREE AT WEST VIRGINIA. JUST DIDN’T. NOT RIGHT OR WRONG OR DIFFERENT, JUST DIDN’T HAVE TO. SO WE’VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT HARD, SOME OF HIS BREAKING POINTS STUFF. A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU’RE A BIG GUY LIKE THAT, STOPPING AND CHANGING DIRECTION IS HARD. WE’VE REALLY BEEN WORKING ON IT. HE RAN A CURL THE OTHER DAY AND A BUNCH OF MOUTHS DROPPED, LIKE, ‘WOW, WE HAVE NOT SEEN KEVIN DO THAT IN A LONG TIME.’ I THINK IT GOT HIM EXCITED.”
Now if a guy as gifted and White couldn't be brought along by the old WR Coaches, what about guys less talented them him? I think we might see a big uptick in the back end of the WR roster this year.
