There was some talk early last year about the Peacocks running the press. Then we lost some players before the season started and I guess plans changed. Here's an interesting article on the concept: www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/05/11/090511fa_fact_gladwell?printable=true] As the season went on, we attacked a little more with the press. Certainly, we were pretty good at breaking it when we needed to. Do you think we'll go back to this style? From the article, it seems like it takes a pretty hearty commitment.

Thanks for sharing a very interesting article. I'm a big fan of the press myself and I think we'll see a lot more of it next season with our increased depth. We just didn't have the horses last year to press for extended periods of time, but next year we could go 8 to 10 deep if we luck out on our last two ships.

The pressing article brought back memories of my early basketball days at St. Patricks High. We were down by about 15 points at half time. During halftime our coach gave us a good pep talk and said " We may be short but we're slow!" That insulting comment stirred us up and the coach demanded that we press the total second half. Needless to say, we won by about 10 points against a much better team.
