It’s the most convenient time. Our special team unit is I told him before the match that it would really be. The important thing this week was helping him attack and defend in the field position. I felt very good. “

“I feel good,” he told Fox News Digital. “It’s always exciting to get to the place where our team talked about going. At this point we’re calm and ready before the storm.”

“As you can see, in most cases the team that wins the turnover battle or has the fewest mistakes will be the most successful. Keep playing clean football and doing what we want, the game plan, the chance of winning. I think there is enough. “
