Loved the pod, but the bashing "practice how you play" thing is just you guys making shit up to sound cool. 95% of guys practice how they play. They get comfortable with more reps and begin to play with fluidity and anticipation. when game time comes around, they can fly around and improvise because they have confidence in their discipline, technique etc.
There is only room for one Marshawn Lynch in this world. Otherwise, the guys who prepare the best usually play the best. Guys who rely on being game-day sensations (but don't practice well) usually end up lighting it up in Scooba, then wondering when life passed them by.
What decent coach on god's green earth is going to put a guy out on the field if he can't or won't perform in practice? Is having the right measurables and passing the "eye" test enough to defy observable results through spring and fall camp?
Consistency and Preparation will always trump potential in team sports.
