Quote from one of his press conferences earlier this week about guys getting tired during short weeks:
Q: What about for rookies?
Mora: Maybe, but what is interesting about our rookies is that the guys who are playing which is most of them sometimes you sense them wearing out. But what I sense is that they are excited. Like Michael Boley still has the enthusiasm to play, and he's realizing that he's pretty good. Same thing with Chauncey (Davis) and (Jonathan) Babineaux, and Shropshire, and the other guys like Chad Lavalais and (DeAngelo) Hall and Roddy (White) and (Michael) Jenkins. You almost get worried that they are wearing out, but it's almost the opposite. Like Roddy (White) can't wait to practice. He is giggling like a pre-school girl in practice. He catches the ball and come back to the huddle (giggling). That's exciting to me.
