I was listening to a Pete Carroll interview on the news this morning and he was asked about the topic of building depth. This is what he had to say on the topic, "In September and October you have to be building and prepping your team from top to bottom for what is coming in November and December. You have to get your young guys on the field early to find out what you have and what works in certain situations. Sometimes the results might not be pretty, but ultimately it is about getting your team to perform at the highest possible level when it counts the most. If you are caught up in peaking in September then you are missing tremendous learning opportunities for your team that will probably not be there come clutch time and you have to plug holes with guys that haven't been tested at the highest level. It's always about peaking in November and December and beyond."

Sound familiar?
