We've got to move the line of scrimmage. We've got to be just playing with our hair on fire and knocking people back and playing physical. And that's to start the game, and that's to end the game.

I also believe every time I've been involved in this is that it kind of happens organically and authentically, you know, because the players know. And if you say, hey, we decided we're going to be with Joe and they all think it's Tim, you know, they know.
