But if we don't get those things, I'm basically giving you the green light to put the ball in play, throw a completion and

Let me make a decision on fourth and three at the plus 36-yard line, whether I'm going to send Will out there or we're going to go for it.

But don't think you've got to take over all those situations to where if the outcome isn't exactly what we desire, that you've got to go win the game on that play.

And that comes down to also when you do break contain.

And JJ's a guy, you think about when he has gotten injured, it hasn't necessarily been in the pocket.

He's gotten out, he's...

I don't know if they still do that or not.

And I got to be, you know, submerged in that group of guys for a week.

And it's like summer camp.

You're there.

You're around them.

You're building relationships.
