The game has (evolved) to this. Do we want slower guys in there, too (because of injuries from higher impact collisions)?

There weren't a lot of positives from this game, but he was one of them,

That's the package these guys bring to the game,

I was very concerned about not overdoing it, and just making it another game for the guys, ... I tried to stay normal, but you would have to ask them how well I did. I might have been a crazy person.

It's like, OK, we're playing the game and those guys are upstairs doing whatever they are doing,

I told him he can keep our morale up and don't let it end at the halftime speech. He's probably more important now for us even though he's not on the field. We can sure use the support from him, and his teammates have so much respect for him.
