athlete either eliminate felt field incredible left middle run
He's an incredible athlete and, this year, he's felt more comfortable in our system. It allows him to run left or right and make a play going to either side. If the middle of the field is open, he can do things there, too. Mostly, what he's done for us is to eliminate mistakes.

It's very important for the team to know exactly how I feel. (But) I don't necessarily have to wear my thoughts on my chest, ... I've got a job to do, get these guys ready ... Sometimes I do keep things in-house because I think they should be in-house.
