...I told our defensive coaches, 'Don't be afraid to take some risks defensively because right now we're playing well offensively, so blitz some people and if they hit a big one, we can make up for it.' |
[Where he grew up,] they're shocked anyone could dance for a living, because it's for pleasure. It reminds you how lucky you are, ... I knew I had to get away. I have that in my nature: the need to keep moving. |
A year ago, we saw what that kid could do when he got in a groove. He put on a nice show out there in muddy conditions. |
But God is there and He's good ? I'm certain of that. |
But that's why I had to. I couldn't finish anything, or communicate, or make decisions about what the dancers should do. I was at a very isolated place in my mind.

His interest is in his ego not getting in the way of choices. |
I can never see doing this again. It's just too big a job. |
I had to ask at least three times to clarify what I thought I heard, |
