The important things that jumps out at you is, I indicate it was the noise there. Theres that percussion that takes location in the arena. You heard the ball struck the goal post and you can hear it on television and as loud as can be and you can hear players talking in specific– yeah, you can hear players talking during the game so you understand that with nobody therein, things are– anyhow so theyre amplified a bit from a normal game.”

So, well spend a little bit more time here with our early morning meetings and get those done.”

I imply he plays, and he plays aggressive and you have to enjoy that. Im not stating we havent had it previously, however what an addition to be able to put it in there, and I believe his thing thats followed him throughout his career has been, you play versus him, you much better strap it on due to the fact that hes going to bring it to you every down and its going to be aggressive and hes going to do it to the whistle and that whole thing. I think youve got to have that up front and its a great pace setter.”

How do you handle yourself up to that point and get yourself prepared throughout the week for the video game?” Well leave a little bit later on, get to the hotel a little bit later on, and then we wont have the specific meetings we typically have out there,” he stated. “Its the exact same location that they played last night and so we got a little bit of a dive start on it.
