That's the fun part of it all. You get creative when you're in Little League. You're creative when you're in middle school. You're creative in high school and college. And then when you get to the league, this position, the more mobile quarterbacks, we have a tendency to want to become traditional and nervous and panicky in how we want to call plays and put guys in position to make plays.
Obviously, like anything else, I have views on how we should play defense but I don't call the defensive plays. I have views on how I want us to run our offense but I don't call our offensive plays. It's in collaboration with Phil Snow, with Joe Brady, with all of our coaches.

I was programmed for greatness just like the acorn is programmed to be an oak tree.

The common belief that coaches must be abusive to be successful is a myth. Research shows that if you find a task fun, you'll perform better.
