Greg Olsen

Although I'm against the Coats in the middle of the game, I will say when it is a weather game,

equipment managers matter more.

People don't understand this.

Like, equipment people actually end up playing an impact in the game.

How well they articulate to the players, like changing your cleats.

I know my man Greg is on top of it with the Eagles most of the time.

He is meticulous about telling guys, hey, it's slick out there, yada, yada, yada.

But also, like, the balls.

Like, whoever's in charge of getting the balls ready for game day, when the weather's good, like, it's not that important.

It really shows up when you got a little bit of rain or snow.

If that ball hasn't been broken in properly, it just gets slick.

It doesn't feel right.

And it becomes magnified when it's colder or the rain or the snow.

It really does make a competitive advantage for your players.

One of the things I always loved was the fact that the equipment guys are putting in the extra time.

I've got to give a quick shout-out to my equipment guy, Craig Blake.

I don't know if you're watching, but let me tell you, I'd go into that shower and Craig would be scrubbing them balls and he'd be getting them right.

Come on, man.

I'd be going in their shower and I'd feel a little bit

I mean, listen, he's doing it in the shower.
