Ultimately, the yards really don't matter. So you have to score enough points, and I have been fortunate in my career to have been around some really good play callers, starting with Gary Kubiak and then going with Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay, and that was always at the forefront of our minds: How can we create explosive plays?

Number one, I tell the quarterbacks, do your job. You've gotta do your job before you can even worry about anybody else or any other situation.

Unfortunately, we're in a profession, and if you've got thin skin, you're not going to last very long. So you take the good with the bad.

The NFL was something I never really dreamed about, but when you get to this level, you realize how special this is. This league is about winning. It's a very competitive league. Sometimes you don't win as much as someone else thinks you should, and you're out.
