Quote:

Explanation of the situation:  The Arizona Cardinals (National Football League) had one win and seven losses in the first half of their season.  They had no game for the next two weeks, so the players were given three days without practice.  Many were saying it was a time to assess and reflect on their performance from the first eight games.  Adrian Wilson had another take on the time to reflect.

 Excerpt from the Arizona Republic November 2, 2006

The three days off can be a time for reflection, for players to ask themselves what they can do in the second half that they didn't do in the first. Strong safety Adrian Wilson, however, doesn't believe much in the benefits of that.

"Personally, I don't have to look at myself in the mirror to look and see what I got to do to get better in the second half," he said. "If you have to re-evaluate what you did, whether you were playing hard or not, chances are you shouldn't be here. That's just the bottom line."
