Russ Rose Then (1990): “Tammy is a big question mark. If she comes into camp in shape and is hungry to realize her physical potential, she could be starting in the middle. Last year she learned you can’t rest on your laurels. It’s a competitive world. To take us to a higher level, she needs to maintain her drive and desire. I’m confident that Tammy learned a meaningful lesson.”
