"What I'm finding with him, at least right now, is that when you tell him something once, it kind of goes into this black book over here somewhere," Sparano said, "and he kind of figures out that that's really important.

"Little by little, he's getting it, and he's not making the same mistake over and over again, which is good. There are some guys out here right now that are making some of the same mistakes. We're correcting the same thing. He's not one of those guys. So I have to believe it's going to happen quicker."

Sparano mentioned finer points such as hand placement and footwork as areas Misi must concentrate on, but added Misi's speed off the edge "has been pretty impressive."

"He has a unique ability not to stay blocked very long," Sparano said. "He can get off blocks and get out of trouble fast which is good news, but fundamentally he can put himself in bad positions if he doesn't understand the proper footwork.

Koa Misi said he takes immense pride in his study habits and claimed he frequently is pouring over the playbook with one mission in mind: Stay out of trouble.

"Growing up, my dad was a pretty hard guy," said Koa Misi, who once told the story of his disappointed father coming out of the stands at a high school game to deliver a motivational head butt. "I didn't like to make mistakes twice with my dad there. That's something that transfers on the field. When I make a mistake, I don't want to make it again."

Good stuff from Coach Tony on Misi. Nice read.

 

I'm running with it and putting it in a sig.

It was that or the Misi Missile.
