When Velez scored his first goal, the first thing he did was run over to the sidelines and hug Carver.
Today, Julius James did the exact same thing.
It seems like JC means a lot to these guys. I think that bodes well for the team, in that when Carver shows faith in them, they'll run through a brick wall to play well and please him.
It goes beyond merely "being professional" I think. They seem to play with extra emotion and passion. I don't remember seeing these kinds of reactions from our players last year.
It's really kind of touching and makes the team all that more loveable, IMO.
