My IQ, football IQ, was very high.
I think Bill gave me a lot more lead where to do certain stuff.
So it got to a point where, you know, I would handle the defense to the front.
Like the linebackers didn't have to talk to us.
They just talked to the back end because I handled everything up there.
I called the plays.
I called the stunts.
I moved people around.
I did all of that.
You know, it was plenty of times where, you know, I'll go to the sideline and I'll tell Bill, hey, this is what they're doing.
This is how they block it up.
If we did, blah, blah, blah, boom, boom, boom.
It wasn't even a play.
We just made it a play on the sideline.
We do it.
So I think I earned that trust from Bill because he understood that I wasn't just going to – I wasn't a selfish player.
I wasn't.
So he understood, well, by me doing this, I'm putting –
Our players are in the best position to make the plays.
It don't have to be me making them, but somebody needs to make them.
