“Call me crazy,” Bradley said last month, “but I think we can be better.

“I don’t sit here … and think, ‘F—, that team last year was unbelievable.’”

Recently informed of Bradley’s bold prediction, Vanney didn’t shy away from added pressure. He embraced it.

“I think we can (be better),” Vanney told the Sun. “It has to be our mindset. Our goal and our mission every day is to try and get better and push ourselves.

“I think it’s something we can do. The challenge this year is can we try and get every guy to be 2%, 3%, 5% better.”
