His defensive play has been stellar, and now his offensive play has caught up to the rest of his game.This team is winning because they are resilient. Resiliency is a quality that Trotz and his coaching staff constantly preach. They never wavered in their effort and tied the game late in the third. They stormed the Avalanche net in overtime, and the effort resulted in a win. This team believes that whatever happens, they can win the game. That is a great attitude that has translated in to confident play on the ice.This is not the most talented team in the NHL by any stretch. 
This is, however, a team that believes in itself as a whole; that believes in each man wearing the Predator sweater that takes the ice; and believes in the coaches that have prepared them for each game.This team is now coming to the ice confident and ready to play every night, believing they can win against anyone And that belief is translating in to wins.. In the eyes of the college basketball world, a 14-point opening night upset of the No. 5 Kentucky, and, as a result, the win in Mississippi has been titled as a fluke by many.It's very likely that Rider won't match up against another top 25 team this yearunless, of course, Siena cracks the poll or the Broncs upset the Saints in the MAAC tournamentso the Broncs might not earn a chance to prove doubters wrong. However, I'm not quitting on Rider and you shouldn't either.Ryan Thompson is the most consummate player in the MAAC.

He scores, he shoots for high percentages from all over the floorhis 43.8 percent field-goal percentage is a result of a 1-10 shooting night at Kentucky but will rise to its 2008-09 levelhe distributes, and he rebounds. Rider has a balanced inside game between Ringgold and Gadson, who can also play the perimeter and slash to the hoop. Justin Robinson hasn't been the best point guard, but he has averaged 12.2 points per game and has added to Rider's offensive potency. Ask Siena coach Fran McCaffery about the point guard from London, and he'll tell you about the offensive numbers he can post.In comparison to Siena, Rider lacks depth. However, the Saints out-manned the Broncs last year but fell in a last-second thriller at Alumni Gymnasium.The duo of Ringgold and Gadson could potentially lead the Broncs past Niagara, who lacks an inside presence. Rider is a tough team and, although the chances are slim because of conference competition, it has the pieces to bring a MAAC championship back to Lawrenceville, NJ. Don't let this early rough stretch make you sleep on the Broncs.Photo Credit: AP Photo/Rogelio V Solis.

(It is 6 - 0 and the Giants just lost the ball so...)Seriously, has there ever been a more amateurish bunch of coaches on thesidelines of the Giants Well I guess Mr. Pisarchik might disagree but then he was part of the problem.I have not figured out which is worse tonight, the playcalling by both the offensive and defensive coaches or the attempt at tackling by the defense. In all fairness I don't think I should give either side a victory so I'll just say they both stink.It is sad that with all the talent this team supposedly has they don't come to win, let alone play. I realize it was a short week but are the days longer in Colorado Is this the best the coaching staff can come up withThe bottom line for this game is and will end up to be the Denver coaching staff got their team ready to play a professional game of football and the Giantbrain-trust took in the sights of the Rockies.Will this loss (And I am typing this before half-time) finally be the straw that shows the camel's weakness Will their be any changes Will this team limp into their new digs in 2010 with the same cast of characters on the sidelinesCOUNT ON IT!Ever since the hey day of this team when they dissed Coaches Lombardi and Landry showing them the door the team has had its problems. We did win three Super Bowls and luckily that cannot be taken away from us. But hold on to those tapes and DVDs because until the coaches are fired there will not be another one.Sorry for the rant but I have lived through many years of ups and downs with this team. When the team was bad we knew it before the season started so there was no disappointment. This year the fans were led to believe there would be a good team on the field. We were wrong.. As we come to the end of the 2009 college football season, it seems that no one is talking about this year's Heisman Trophy race.
