WIth football you can have up to 28 guys you consider starters, and if they can pick up the slack when some aren't playing so well, you don't have to turn those two game losing streaks into six-game losing streaks.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You see guys in the NFL when you're younger, and you try to model your game after that.
Every quarterback can throw a ball; every running back can run; every receiver is fast; but that mental toughness that you talk about translates into competitiveness.
Losing streaks are funny. If you lose at the beginning you got off to a bad start. If you lose in the middle of the season, you're in a slump. If you lose at the end, you're choking.
You have to understand that in this league, we are all one play removed from being the starter or from being the backup, in any game.
I might be in a little decline. I don't know. How many guys that have played 150 games are still on the upswing? I've played a lot of games, a lot of snaps.
It's easier to date a football player for sure. Football players have one game a week, and they practice every day, but they're all at home. In basketball, they're on the road all the time.
The thing about football is when you've got guys that work hard and do things the right way, it'll come together... it's supposed to if you put the work in.
Sixteen times a year, all thirty-two NFL teams give us what we're looking for: speed, skill, violence, fantasy league orgasms and a final score. No confusion. No doubt. No indecision. A winner and a loser.
You are responsible to each other because when you win a game of football, you only need eight players to perform well.
When it comes down to it, you're playing football regardless of what offense you're in.
