We're broadcasting live to you from Circa Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, talking about Ben Johnson's sit-down interview with Herb Howard from The Biggs Media.

I'm glad you brought up Belichick, too, because here's where I think it works and it doesn't.

What have we heard, Marshall, about all of the Bill Belichick disciples?

They try to be Bill Belichick, and it doesn't hit.

Josh McDaniels comes to mind, of course.

I think of all the other, the former assistants that he...

That he has had.

I'm sorry, guys.

We're in the desert, and I'm still getting over that stupid illness from last week.

Anyway, I say that because they weren't authentic.

The players saw through what they were doing because they were trying to cosplay a guy who they felt like appropriately was the standard in the league when it came to a coaching style.

It works when it's authentic.

And for Bill Belichick, it's authentic.

And for Ben Johnson, it's authentic.

I think the other part of it is, too, is that he also rewards guys.

You know, it's not like you only – you don't just get the dark side all the time here.

You also get the rewards.

Like taking the shirt off in the locker room is the reward.

Think about what Kevin Byard said when he was like, okay, good, better, best.

You could see the look like, okay.
