00:00 There are some folks who believe that many quarterbacks in this scheme, with you as the
00:07 coach, with Tyreek and Jalen, maybe even many, many quarterbacks, would excel, would flourish,
00:13 would be near the top of the pass or radar leading MVP candidate.
00:18 What if any pushback is there relative to...
00:20 Wait, no, no, hold on.
00:21 Two-a is a little different.
00:22 I'm about to push this podium over.
00:27 My answer to that would be who the F cares, because it is a team.
00:35 We're working together.
00:36 I know one thing.
00:38 I've coached stuff a long time.
00:42 I haven't seen people do what our guys do in a lot of experiences, to their credit,
00:53 to their ability, and their commitment to their craft.
01:06 As a teammate, we're all dependent on each other.
01:12 I'm not in any hurry to prove myself without those guys, because those are part of who
01:19 we are, and to try to say it's this person or that person is kind of missing the point.
01:27 It is a team working together, people working together.
01:34 Myself, Tyreek Hill, Two-a, cool, what if no one's blocking anyone?
01:44 You know what I mean?
01:45 We're all connected in that way.
01:47 That's why I think a lot of the guys, Two-a's success is their success.
01:53 Tyreek's success, Waddell's, Raheem's, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
01:59 We're all tied together.
02:00 It's a journey that we're experiencing together.
02:04 Somebody will get the statistics from it, but none of those statistics are worth anything
02:10 if you don't have a full support from your players across the board, all 11, and then
02:19 it goes down to the organization and all those things combined.
02:23 But I know this, our players run a lot of plays that I have a lot of history with, and
02:31 it looks different.
02:32 That's not because ... That's because of hard earned work, or hard work and unbelievable
02:42 ability.
02:43 So, yeah, don't try me on other players.
02:49 I'm not trying to prove that.
