It’s vital to make things more complicated for the opponent. There are two ways you can do that to a defense: One is to have a whole bunch of plays. But the trouble there is that your offense has to deal with as much complexity as their defense does. The other way is to have less plays, and run them out of lots of formations. That way you don’t have to teach a player a new assignment every single time, just a new place to stand. Simply put: If you wanna screw with the defense, screw with formations, not plays. We also decided we were going to let our quarterback check to other plays at the line of scrimmage. Play calling is important, but the more control we could give our quarterback at the line of scrimmage, the more flexible we could be. After all, he was the one in the middle of it. We knew that he could see the defense better than we could from where we were standing. He had information from ground zero.

Again, it’s our desperate desire to be liked at all costs that prevents us from connecting with people who will love the work. It’s all ego. That’s why it’s helpful to call it “the work.” That simple “the” helps separate the stuff we make from us. I can take a bad photo without becoming a bad photographer or, worse, a bad person. (Illogical as it seems, it can sometimes feel that way.) Some work is better than others, and I’m able to see that—and get better—because I don’t see any one photo as a statement about me, Chase. Chase deserves unconditional love. Some of my photos, not so much.

I always felt Michael’s legendary trash talking wasn’t meant for the other guy; it was another way for him to heighten the pressure he put on himself, because once you’ve told others how bad you’re about to fuck them up, you’re gonna have to deliver on that promise. I tell my guys, “Pressure, pressure, pressure.” Most people run from stress. I run to it. Stress keeps you sharp, it challenges you in ways you never imagined and forces you to solve issues and manage situations that send weaker people running for cover. You can’t succeed without it.
