It's also being able to affect and impact your players really live, as guys come on and off the field, to be able to connect with them. To see something fundamentally, I know, can help this player.

"When I see a player, he may not realize that he's carrying the ball loosely. That's something I can go directly over, and as he's coming off the field, when I don't have to go to the next play, I want to be able to affect the culture and the general way we play our play style, you know, and the things that we always point back to.
"I want to be able to make sure that's happening on a play-in and play-out basis."
