When I turned the film on from last year, before we got here as coaches, and you turn this film on from Carolina...
you say, man, there's something missing, really.
There's something missing.
Like, this dude, not that he ain't still, he isn't still special, but the special doesn't show up all the time.
Well, for me, this year, the special was on display in terms of his route running, in terms of his run out to catch, blocking for his teammate, in terms of him catching the ball.
He had some unbelievable catches this year.
All right.
And the effort that he put in to become a better player in the offseason and as the season continued went on was great.
And what you expect as a coach and what I wanted to see as a coach began to show up.
We had a long conversation before the season started just about my expectations, where I came from in terms of,
Hey, blocking for your teammate, the run out to catch, the block out to catch, all these things.
We're going to be football players and not just pass catchers.
For DJ Moore, that showed up like never before this year.
Like, this was for me to be able to see him go out and go call it –
above and beyond this year than the years people have seen him do in the previous years.
For me, I don't know about anybody else, but for me, that was great to see that progress.
And again, you go back and talk about, hey, we need a big play.
We turn to DJ Moore.
We need to play at the end of the game.
We turn to DJ Moore.
