I absolutely DO believe in intimidation....and why? Because it's basic human psychology and it works.
But you don't have to scream, boast, etc. to be intimidating.....intimidation shows up in action as you stated.
Jack Tatum didn't scream and yell
Toby Wright didn't scream and yell
Cam Chancellor didn't scream and yell
They hit you. They were disciplined and came to smack people. This team has SORELY missed a player like that for years outside of AD......AD definitely intimidates people.... by action. This team badly needs some meaner, ultra dedicated players. It's been missing for a very long time.
