that caused them to do that.

But, no, it has definitely changed, you know, especially the year we went.

I'm sure as coaches you don't forget either, right?

That's the curse of it all.

I remember vivid play calls and plays.

I told our team the other night, 2022, that playoff game,

I play out that two-minute drive in my head often, but I also remember vividly the fourth and inches when we called a hard count and jumped off sides and took the three instead of what I wanted to do in the moment.

We had the momentum in the game.

Let's go get seven.

And like we had done many, many times in one-score games that year, get that lead.

And then our defense did that year, even though maybe statistically we weren't a great defense, we did play well in the two-minute in the phase when guys like Daniil and some of our pass rushers could kind of tee off in that true known passing situation.

We take the three, they get seven, and then the rest is history.

But you think about those things often.

I can talk to Justin Jefferson or Jordan about a route, and they will vividly remember the first time they ran it, what it felt like, the leverage they got from a defender, was there safety over the top or not.

It's wild how they remember, especially the things from certain games that stick with them.

Oh, you're talking about when I joined.

Well, you know, one of the things, it was an idea that I actually, Sean McVay, when I was in L.A., he did something similar.

It wasn't exactly the same.

He didn't have the actual coaching headset on, and I only wear one side.

So I said, why don't I put the earpiece in my right ear, and I could hear PA and Pete and Ben and just the broadcast, the clock counting down in and out of breaks and things.
