Just making this program - and when I say program, like the meetings, the walkthroughs, the lifts, the practice schedule - making it tough on you, and giving you a lot to handle. And for me that's important for accountability, because it's saying, "Are you ready? Are you going to be prepared? Are you going to come to work every single day?" If not, you're going to be exposed, obviously.
He just gets to his point, like he doesn't beat around the bush, he's direct. And he keeps a good relationship with guys outside of the meeting room, so that when he's up there you're talking to the same guy you talked to on the sideline today or in the hallway.
Understanding from a player's perspective of how we have to build this training camp out. It's going to be hard, but we're also not going to be stupid. I appreciate the old-school mentalities, but also understand, like, let's be smart.
I think very tough, gritty, and smart's going to be a big one as well. This league has become one of those situations where the better your players can adapt to situations.
