“So I feel when you might have a quarterback room the place folks do like one another, it makes it extra enjoyable to come back to work, since you are in that room so much collectively. And I do know these dudes do like one another. They received some totally different skillsets, in order that they each can study stuff from one another simply by watching one another.
“And the extra soccer, the extra they’re round one another and the extra they speak, often that rubs off, each methods.”
