I've posted before on his descent from pool-jump, immediate starter ecstasy (from the staff, setting high expectations for us) to "maybe someday" before he was injured. I wondered whether he was seriously working or sliding through recovery.
Havenstein's report that Bruss is in the weight room working hard, coupled with Bruss' own declaration of being hard at work, gives me a cautious optimism about him. Serious injury; medical miracles are now the norm for treatment, and beyond that mental attitude, grit, and toughness can be developed through a rehab in addition to repairing the damaged tissue. The brain is the hardest muscle to develop.
Apparently Bruss is on the right track. Now the question is: Can he exert his will and rehabbed body into playing the best football he is capable of, and what will that be? Will Bruss at a rehabbed, rededicated best be better than the others who would take his place? WE could have a couple of other serious football players competing for the position. As a great football analyst and former player more than once said, get your popcorn.
