Gotta give a lotta credit to Carbery -- first for having the balls to change things up, not letting Ovi do the same ole same ole, then for installing an approach that focuses on the player Ovi is now. He doesn't have the wheels anymore and he's heavier on his feet, but the howitzer it still there and his instincts and hockey smarts are sharper than ever. So let's jettison the bygone stuff and leverage the hell outta what's still there.

Reminds me so much of Duke's speech preceding Rocky 6's training montage...
