He still needs to work on being under control out there, of taking what the defense gives him. Recognizing the problem Bellisari needs to exercise patience. Even through preseason camp, with Stobart constantly looking over his shoulder and talking in his ear, it has been tough for Bellisari to curb the impulse to go for the big play. It's still not where it needs to be. I know that, and that's why he's on me every day about it.
Admission is the first step toward remission.
But it's not hard to understand Bellisari's dilemma. I think if we keep building and getting better every day, we're going to have one of the better offenses that we've had of late. Bellisari looks left and right and sees two returning starters, Ken-Yon Rambo and Reggie Germany, with great speed at wide receiver. Behind him he sees tailbacks Derek Combs, Jonathan Wells and Jerry Westbrooks, each with differing abilities but all with game-breaking speed. Then there is the left-handed Bellisari himself.
