What I do have is an appreciation for the fact that I've been very blessed and fortunate with timing, in getting opportunities that I wouldn't have otherwise gotten, if I weren't from a football family where my grandfather had so much success. I'm not naive enough to think otherwise.

I think what we've tried to preach to our players is we're going to let the best players play.
That's one of the things I like about our business: our fraternity of coaches. As competitive as it is, guys find time to share when they can.
If we're going to ask our players to be coachable, we've got to be coachable as coaches as well. That displays an ownership and an accountability that we try to all have and makes the players more receptive to the messages we try to implement.
I think people underestimate when you have a brace on your knee how much that truly restricts you.
You show me anybody that's great in anything they do, I'll show you somebody that's persevered, demonstrated that mental toughness to overcome some obstacles and adversity.
I think, in terms of looking at the trajectory and being around some of the same people, it's certainly flattering words, but I definitely have not done enough to be mentioned in the same sentence as Coach Payton.
We're dealing with men here. What we're trying to do is help them become the best players they can be, and we're all collectively trying to win games. So what I always tell people is that the way you earn these players' respect is, do you make them a better football player?
We're trying to win football games, and whoever we feel like gives us the best chance is who's going to play behind center.
You learn about people when they do go through a little bit of adversity.
I think he's accomplished so much, I don't think it's fair to put me in the same category as Coach Payton. I think, hopefully, if you achieve even close to what he has in this league, then maybe you start to get mentioned.
I could go on and on about my support for Kirk Cousins, and I feel fortunate to have been able to work with a guy like that.
