I?m just trying to do a little more talking to the guys and assuring them I?m with them regardless, mistakes or no mistakes.

We feel like we can make mistakes and live with them if they?re aggressive mistakes. I just talk to my squad as much as I can and just try to be there for them because that?s what they do for me.
