The reality is, if you're going to have a defeat on the road, Week 1 is probably the best time to have it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's silly to work hard the whole week and then spoil it by not preparing properly before the game.
I find it hard in my general life to think further than the week ahead.
It's all about giving yourself a chance to win the opener, and then after that, you focus in on Week 2.
The key to a winning season is focusing on one opponent at a time. Winning one week at a time. Never look back and never look ahead.
Football is only once a week. NASCAR is once a week. Those sports are insanely popular. Horse racing is oversaturated. Unless tracks cut back to three days a week of full fields, a lot of people will really hurt down the road. Horse racing, to survive, has to go to that. Let's face it: Churchill Downs only does well on Derby Week.
'Monday Night Football' has the good and the bad points. The bad point is you have to wait around all day, and it disrupts your schedule for the next week. Now you have one less day to prepare for the following week.
There is never a typical week. I don't think I can live with a typical week.
I'm on the road two or three days a week normally.
The time that people aren't expecting what's going to happen, I find that's the best time to really cause the damage that needs to be done.
Our players know that we try to come in each week and put ourselves in the best position to have a chance to win, and sometimes that means some people playing more than others; sometimes it means using different personnel groupings in different weeks.
