In order to avoid players hitting a wall, Herman said the staff is very specific about the amout of time spent on the field, plus the amount of contact during training camp. He said the goal is to peak in the season opener, not the second week of August. Herman also said: "The wall getting hit, as long as your coaches aren't oblivious that it is going to happen, and that we have open, honest and sometimes hard conversations with our guys, and train your mind. One of my favorite pictures of all-time, and we showed it in a team meeting earlier this week. It's during the Vietnam War, the picture of the burning monk. A guy pours gasoline on himself, lights himself on fire. The guy that took the picture said, and there's a quote that says 'He didn't move an inch. He didn't utter a sound in stark contract to the wailing crowds around him.'
Again, I'm not asking our guys to set themselves on fire. Don't get me wrong. The guy lit himself on fire and sat there. Didn't move an inch. Didn't utter a sound. That tells you a lot about the human mind, and if you train it properly, there's pretty much [nothing] you can't do."
This guy has a sick mind. I'd like to see him demonstrate his will power. Oh we have...
