Granato… Saw him as a developmental coach without the chops to drive a winning game strategy against a top tier physical team… and to get his players to listen and execute… even after a humiliating loss…
Last night he proved me wrong… He was pissed and let his players and the media know it… He sent out a team prepared to play physical against a top physical team… He got his message across to the players who listened and executed throughout the game, checking and taking the body, matching TB hit for hit, gritty and unintimidated… 42 hits… a total it usually takes this team three games or more to achieve…
Follow-through in Florida with a similar effort will be his loud and clear message, my bet
