Williams speaking out!

[Bama Panther]

That is determination and having a competitive streak.

'Heart' is a meaningless term.

I have said it before and I will say it again. You preach 'heart' to kids and youths who have no skills and thus all they have to rely on is trying really hard. In the NFL these guys are pro's, are driven by money or being the best and have coaches breathing down their nexk. All of them for one reason or another will give their best effort so preaching them to have more 'heart' just chows that the coach has no concept on how to get the best out of them.

Are you kidding me? They all give their best effort? :smilielol5:

Like I said before, people work harder for things they care about. Yes, it is determination, but people are rarely ever committed to things that they don't care about. Without that commitment, there is no determination. BTW, "trying really hard" is the same thing as "giv[ing] their best effort," no?

I don't think anyone is saying that "heart" cures all. What I am saying is that it can be a significant factor with individual people.

Start Stewart!

You'll never hear him call out his teammates like this. Granted, that might be due to his mumbling, but still.

Dumbass, he called out himself too!!! He is referencing "WE". This would imply him too

Frank Tadych, of NFL.com, reports Carolina Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams said there are several things the Panthers can work on before next season to get better. "There are a lot of aspects of my game and in our game that we can improve on. We can get better at blocking, we can get better at reading the holes. We can get better at anticipating. When we anticipate, we need to anticipate the right call, the right move, the right read, vs. being right 80 percent of the time, we need to be closer to 100 percent. … We can't have next season be the season we had last year," Williams said.

[Chubbs McGee]

Are you saying that "heart," which is essentially caring deeply about what you are doing and giving it your all, has nothing to do with how the game is played? :confused:

I am all in favor of taking pride in what you do and giving it your full effort. "Heart" is one of the most overused and ambiguous terms in sports. When a team gets flat out beat on the field, rather than say they didn't execute, people like to say "they had no heart!" When a underdog upsets a more talented team its almost never that they caught some breaks or that they just played better on that day, its "gee, those guys showed some heart!" I've just grown sick of the lazy reliance on the word, and therefore, the adjective "heart" is in my vocabulary garbage bin right next to "scrappy," "110%," and "upside."

I know you guys are joking, but god dont say sh*t like this. "Cut D-Will" and other stuff that makes me cringe even if i know its a joke.

I agree. Too many people here overreact over the smallest thing.
