Heavy Shoulders
Today is a tough day for the team. From owner down to the players, nerves have to be sensitive. Today is the day 15 will walk out the Texans doors to find other paths in their life. I wish them all well.
Coach O'Brien, as I write this, is talking with other coaches in the team and picking those that must leave. His shoulders weigh heavy today I'm sure. I wouldn't ever want this part of the job. Nor any of the others. I'm proud to be where I am being a fan and enjoying watching this team mold into what they will become.
As a fan, I have faith in this coach. He will weigh all options and go with his instincts on how to best mold this team and it's players. He seems to constantly be thinking about it. Even in press conferences you will see his eyes dart to the left of the podium (usually) and all of a sudden he's in that thought process again, sometimes having to ask the reporters to repeat their question. I love this about him. It's showing that he is not taking this job lightly and, even better, he seems to love his job.
Coach O'Brien seems to have a good hold of his balance on being a coach and still wanting to play the game himself. I can imagine that he sometimes tends to place himself in a situation he sees going down on the field and what he would do differently to make that play better. That's a damn good quality in a coach as far as I'm concerned. Opening your mind to your imagination in situations like that only helps survey the situations at hand.
There is much I am starting to enjoy about having Bill O'Brien as my teams head coach. The previous are just a few. I'm glad he's at the helm today. I'm proud of him. I'm sure his family and the team, as a whole, is too. I look forward to 3 pm today. It will be fun seeing the puzzle coming a bit less cluttered and a bit more put together.
... Oh, what a picture this will become.
