HEAD COACH LIAM COEN
MEDIA AVAILABILITY
THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 2026
(On this week’s game) “Yeah, we’ve definitely mentioned what’s at stake this game for sure.
Again, the message to the players was going 1-0 this week. 1-0 this week, and yeah, there’s
a hat and a t-shirt that comes along with that but at the end of the day, this is about going 1-
0 against a team that is going to be extremely ready to play, physical. It was a back-and-
forth kind of gritty game the last time we played in Tennessee and we do have more football
left, but that’s not what the focus and mentality is right now.”
(On how to coach the players who have not played with playoff stakes before) “Yeah, it can
sometimes almost help where you’re a little bit, I don’t want to say naïve to what’s going on
but again, you’re really focused on the daily, hourly, game-by-game improvement. That’s all
we can really focus on right now. That’s been the message, is ‘Hey, let’s get our best, effort,
mindset, execution, preparation, all of that, this week to go 1-0.’ And it’s a division
opponent, a team that obviously doesn’t probably like us too much and that’s just the way
it goes in division, that’s just the way those games go. And you’re excited about these
opportunities to play meaningful games in January and December.”
(On if he talks to the team about the other team ‘not liking’ them) “They know. I don’t have
to tell them anything about this game. I don’t have to tell them a single thing. They’re
extremely aware. It’s going to be one of those types of football games where we understand
that they’ve improved. I think Tennessee, in really all areas, it’s one of the best run defenses
in the National Football League over the last X amount of weeks. They are scoring more
offensively. You can tell that Cam [Titans QB Cam Ward] has definitely found a little bit
more of a rhythm. They’re getting the ball out of his hands, some more RPOs, they’re
running it well. There’s not a lot of quit in that football team in Tennessee right now.”
(On what he attributes the secondary’s good performance to despite injuries) “Yeah, I think
that’s a very fair, great point. It’s a group of guys, I’ve said this before, that are extremely
unselfish. That, all they’ve wanted to do really, is prove worth and continue to get more
snaps and get as much – and what they get and what they do on Sundays is because they
earned it. And because they earned the opportunities to go out there and do it through their
preparation, through practice, through doing it on Sundays as well. So, Milo [Secondary
Coach Ron Milus], Perk [Defensive Backs Coach Anthony Perkins], those guys have done a
phenomenal job getting those guys ready to play. No matter who it was and who it’s going
to be ever Sunday and credit to that group. Buster [CB Montaric “Buster” Brown], Greg [CB
Greg Newsome II], [S Eric] Murray, Dewey [S Andrew Wingard], Jarrian [CB Jarrian Jones],
Bras [CB Christian Braswell], Antonio [S Antonio Johnson], all those guys have played. And
obviously [CB] Jourdan Lewis being out now, but so many of these guys have played and
made huge plays for us this season at some point or another and look, they just put their
heads down, work and we’re typically light in the defensive backfield in terms of how many
guys we’re actually carrying per game and they don’t say anything. They just keep working,
they keep preparing, they keep practicing the right ways. And I think Buster had almost four
PBUs last weekend, a lot of guys go through a whole season without four. So, proud of that
group and you can definitely see a lot of the similarities between the OL room and the
defensive backfield with the amount of guys that have been able to contribute for us this
year.”
(On if Titans DT Jeffery Simmons is the best defensive player he’s prepared for this year) “If
not, I would say he’s right there, without question. And it’s such a pain because they do a
good job moving him around. You can expect him to be at one place at times but then at
base defense, he’ll move a little and then in known passing situations, they’ll move him
around. He’s extremely strong, what he does to people out on that football field, that are
grown men, is pretty impressive. Seriously, I’m not comparing to [former L.A. Rams DL]
Aaron Donald but I was with Aaron on a daily basis and I saw what he did to other grown
men a lot and it was like ‘Wow. Alright dude, you’re different.’ And that’s kind of how—I see
Jeffrey that way, just different. And it takes a village, it takes a group effort to prepare for a
game-wrecker like him.”
(On facing one of the top returners in Titans WR Chimere Dike) “We’ve got to be, obviously
improved from where we were last week in terms of the kickoff coverage. A little more
disciplined in our responsibilities and roles on those teams. And then also doing a little bit
of a better job coming to balance, same foot, same shoulder, being able to shed blocks,
strike blocks and just play with better fundamentals and techniques. We know this is a
good special teams unit, not just the returner in Dike. Well coached group and all that, so
we’re going to have to be more disciplined, have a little bit more of that mindset and
mentality needed to get off blocks, strain and go make plays on it but not outside of the
scheme. Let’s stay within the structure of the kickoff coverage and go do what we’ve done
at a high-level throughout the majority of the season.”
(On what the Jacksonville Jaguars’ standard is) “Mentally and physically tough dudes that
love to play football and they love the game of football. That’s where it starts for me and for
us as a team is—there’s so much that goes into being a professional football player and you
try to, within a team that’s obviously the number one focus but every individual has to be
able to fit into that team differently, because everybody is truly different. And so, those
standards don’t change. Those standards are the way that we want to operate on a daily
basis, the way that we want these guys to ultimately care about each other and care about
the team first. Knowing that there’s going to be adversity within a season, there’s going to
be hard times, you might lose your job for a week, you might be able to get your job back in
a week, you might be active, you might be inactive. You may have a great game, you might
not have a great game. Well, that’s mental toughness and so guys that can withstand those
types of different ebbs and flows in a season, that’s what we’re looking for.”
(On what has impressed him about QBs Coach Spener Whipple’s work with QB Trevor
Lawrence) “Spence, we go way back. I hosted Spence on his official visit at UMass, fun
time and his dad almost might have killed me. We had a good time and yes, Spence was
with me for a few years. Spence is just so good for me, for the staff, because of how—you
talk about the three C’s, calm, cool and collected, because you always want your
quarterback to play like that and be that way and that’s Spence. He’s always like this [level
motion] and obviously I’m not and so it’s really good for the buffer and for the guy in
between at times between Trevor and I’s conversations, communication, relationship is
somebody that does not ride those waves and get too high, get too low. He knows how to
handle me on gameday and also throughout the week and I think he’s done a phenomenal
job with Trevor, with that communication but also the amount of work they spend, the
amount of time they spend doing extra, that’s not easy to do. It’s a commitment by Trevor,
first and foremost, to be challenged to want to do extra, to want to do more, and Spence for
the amount of time they put into it. There’s a lot of details that go into a gameplan, none any
deeper and more important than the quarterback position. And so, Spence has done a
great job. I’m not surprised at all. Not surprised whatsoever at how calm, cool, collected
he’s been throughout this entire season and now everybody’s saying, ‘Ah, well he’s playing
well now.’ Nothing has changed from the way that Spence has coached him and that’s what
I’m proud of.”
(On how much the support staff like Whipple are part of the ‘right fit’ for a quarterback) “So
much of that. So much of the behind the scenes, like everybody, obviously you talk about
the head coach, the quarterback, you talk about those things and the coordinators. But the
amount of people that make practice just operate on a staff is insane, and that operation
goes into that’s a huge reason why the quarterback has more success, or the receiver or
the running back. It truly takes a village, it’s not just one or two coaches, ‘oh that, he can
really point to that and that’s why there’s improvement.’ It’s so much that goes into an
entire staff per side of the ball, truly being on the same page, having the same goals,
communication being like this [crossed fingers]. There’s going to be hard times. There’s
definitely frustrating times within a staff and a season, but I think this group has done a
phenomenal job of just going to the next week, continuing to send the right message to our
players and keep getting them motivated each week. That’s not easy to do as a coach at
times for this amount of games, how long we’ve been doing this for all season. Shoot, I feel
like I was just hired, like not long ago. And so that’s the fun part though, when it goes fast
and you’re doing it with a group of people that you care about and they push these guys,
which I appreciate.”
(On the balance for QB Trevor Lawrence being creative but safe when running the ball)
“That’s just playing man. I definitely wasn’t the best athlete as a player in the world, but I do
recall, like when you were playing free and you were just kind of going without thinking too
much, you just naturally move more. Like you do. The ball’s going to spit, the ball’s going to
come out when you want it out and when the timing and rhythm anticipation all calls for it.
But you want a guy that does have let’s call it a superpower or whatever it is, something that
they’re good at. Well, you don’t want them to ever feel like they’re boxed into a call. You just
don’t want him to feel that way in terms of, man, I have to throw the ball either here or here
or this play is going to suck. That’s not how you want him to feel. You want man, he’s going
to make this play come to life regardless of what happens, regardless if it’s open, not, he
takes the right or wrong footwork or he ends up having to beat a free hitter and go make a
play like that’s football. That’s really what it comes down to. And so often we can get caught
up in the scheme and the X’s and O’s and the play and it’s like, no, it’s about the players
making those plays.”
(On if there is a time to ‘stop and smell the roses’ about the success this season) “Yeah, I
can’t imagine we’re going to have too much time here. That’s the beauty of this league
though. It’s so humbling that you don’t have that time and there’s not a lot of people that
are truly happy at the end of the season unless you’re holding the big one. And so that’s the
most humbling part about this profession and about this league is you put in so much time,
you can do so many good things, but there’s only one team that’s really thrilled at the end of
the season. And you’ve got to figure out a way to go do it all over again. And so, no matter
what occurs you’re able to, man, you have to reset your mind and go play the next week. I
just saw Sean [Rams Head Coach Sean McVay], his comments after the Atlanta game was
like just how humbling of a game this is how humbling of a profession this is, that gives us
the opportunity to get off the mat and go do it again, no matter what the circumstances
were. Win, lose, or draw, you’ve got to get off the mat and go prepare for the next game and
nobody cares because it’s all about the next one and the next opportunity.”
DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR ANTHONY CAMPANILE
MEDIA AVAILABILITY
THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 2026
(On the secondary) “Yeah, it’s a resilient group of guys. They’re constantly helping each
other. If you’re in that meeting room there’s great dialogue. I think Coach Milus [Secondary
Coach Ron Milus] has done an unbelievable job with those guys, with the corners
specifically. [Defensive Backs Coach] Anthony Perkins has done a great job with the
safeties, and we have some other periphery guys who’ve done a great job coaching as well.
[Assistant Defensive Backs Coach] Drew Lascari has been phenomenal with our guys,
some of the young guys especially. Post-practice, pre-practice, all the extra stuff that
they’re doing. You see that stuff showing up and paying off, and our players here are more
into that as a collective than anywhere else I’ve ever been, which is awesome. That’s just
kind of the culture. It’s like, do more, you get better at football by playing football. So, they
put so much time into it, and I think that’s a huge part of it, next man up philosophy.”
(On if CB Jourdan Lewis can still help from a leadership standpoint) “Without a doubt. He
has at certain points in the season really done a great job of helping us in every which way
he can. Even in the game, you watch him on the sideline, he’s really not too far from me. He
gets the call. He’s helping guys when they come off the field. He’s talking to guys who aren’t
in the game at that moment. And he’s about as locked in as anybody on the team and on
the staff. I’d be remiss if I didn’t talk about [Senior Defensive Assistant] Bill Sheridan too
because Bill, he was a defensive coordinator in this league, and he’s another guy, another
set of eyes and another guy, another resource for our defensive backs who’s been
phenomenal and been a huge help to me. So, I think their development, just overall, I would
attribute that one to the players, how committed they’ve been, and they’ve done everything
we asked them to do. And then, their coaches.”
(On the growth he has seen from CB Jarrian Jones) “Yeah, I’ve had a great time watching
him grow into what he is right now. And I think he’s only getting better and he is constantly
progressing. We were talking about this as a staff the other day in meetings. He sits, he’s a
guy, he’s front row, he’s asking great questions, he’s taking notes. I think Jourdan was a
great example for him and a great resource for him. He was constantly asking him
questions in Jourdan’s early days, early on here when he got here. And they have a really
close relationship, friendship. And even since Jourdan’s been here, I just see Jarrian in his
own way doing extra. I know I’ve said that about a lot of guys, but he is a guy specifically
who’s done that and really taken to the techniques. And a lot of that stuff is, when they’re
not within the timeframe of when they’re on the practice field with us, they’re doing extra
away from here together or away from us together, which I think has been a huge help for
him.”
(On the process of facing the same quarterback in the same season) “Yeah, he [Titans QB
Cam Ward] is super talented and I know when we had played them the first time, I had
talked about how much they had progressed at that point, but even more so I think since
we played them last, they’ve been putting up a bunch of points. I think he’s done a great job
making decisions. He keeps a lot of plays alive and does so with his eyes down the field, so
he’s generating chunk plays that way, obviously navigating the rush and then still being
committed to getting the ball down the field. So, he does a tremendous job of that. I think
his decision making is something that jumps out to me that’s been really, really good.
There are some other things that they’re doing in the run game I think that he’s very good at.
And obviously Pollard [RB Tony Pollard] as well, he’s been a big help because their offensive
line has generated some lanes and some space for him in the run game and I think they’ve
been on schedule and done a very good job.”
(On what he has stressed to the defensive about limiting Ward’s explosive play potential)
“You’ve got to do a great job plastering. So, it’s really an eye discipline issue. A lot of times
in the red zone that comes up but for this guy, it comes up all over the field. And like I said,
he is absolutely willing to run and has done damage with his legs, but he’s been lethal
keeping his eyes down the field, keeping a play alive in the pocket, and then getting the ball
downfield for chunk plays. So, we have to do a great job of plastering, covering, obviously
playing within, even if we’re playing zone coverage. Getting our matches and then
continuing with our eyes on those guys down the field. And then in the rush, you’ve got to
be disciplined. You have to be disciplined against this guy. If he’s got B gap step up or he
gets an opportunity to get outside on the perimeter, it can do damage. So that’s really been
a huge part of what we’ve been emphasizing with our guys.”
(On if the defense has improved on third down because of longer down distance or better
execution on third down) “A little bit of both. I think even in the Denver game was probably a
good example of guys just doing a really good job in situational football. Like we didn’t have
a lot of advantageous third-and-seven-pluses in that game, but we did a really good job in
the third-and-short area. Short yardage, we were good. Third-and-two-to-three were
actually very, very good. And a couple of those last week that came up and helped us. And I
think some of that is guys just being more familiar with the situations, the things that we’re
going to do in those situations and taking that game plan, which each week is different,
from the practice field and the meeting room to the game and executing really well. So,
we’ve gotten some really, really good execution. And I think a lot of times on third down,
there’s so much going on with motion and all that stuff offensively, what they’re checking.
Our guys have done a really good job communicating, and that also speaks to, they’ve been
out there a little bit longer, they’ve been out there a little bit more. Some of these guys who
weren’t playing early, they’ve got more reps out there and they’ve done a great job of it.”
(On how impressive S Antonio Johnson’s consistency has been this season) “Yeah, been
very impressed with Antonio, because he does a bunch of things for us. Early down, I think
you probably saw last week he played a bunch closer to the line of scrimmage and did a
great job for us. And then obviously down the field on the back end, covering man to man,
playing underneath zones and matching. I think he’s been really good since he’s been in
there and he’s progressed quite a bit throughout the season, so I’m really pleased with him.
And he’s another guy, I know I’ve said this a bunch, that does a whole lot extra. It’s
important to Antonio.”
(On what DE Travon Walker does for the defense with both his tackling and rushing ability)
“Yeah, he’s just got such multiplicity to his game and he’s so physical in the run game, a
great teammate, he’s not looking to go outside the scheme ever. He’s a guy you can count
on to do his job all the time and just play physical, play with some edge, play with some
nasty out there in the run game. And you really value that. He’s a guy that takes pride in
that, not staying blocked and finishing back to the football. I think there were some
opportunities, or some plays the other day against Indianapolis where they got a hat to
account for him and he comes back, doesn’t stay blocked and makes a huge play, puts
them behind the sticks. That you probably can’t put a price tag on. He’s just been so good
for us and keeping teams behind the sticks, getting us into advantageous second-down
situations and sometimes advantageous third-down situations. So yeah, I love the guy, I
love the way he plays. I’ve said that a bunch in here, but he’s everything we want to be as a
defense. And when you have one of your guys who’s a leader doing things that way and
practicing that way, it makes it very easy as a coach to get that point of emphasis across
and develop a culture.”
(On how excited he is for his brother going to coach at University of Connecticut) “Fired up.
Fired up for him, man. Yeah, I’m gassed up. He’s in a great food area too, New Haven isn’t
too far away. That’s a great pizza town. So, I think that was a huge part of the decision for
him (laugh), but no, I’m really fired up for him. Whole family’s fired up and he deserves it,
man. He’s worked his tail off, so I’m excited.”
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR GRANT UDINSKI
MEDIA AVAILABILITY
THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 2026
(On OL Jonah Monheim’s performance last week) “He’s had a huge impact, not only out
there on the field being able to step in, but even in the meeting rooms, in the classroom, in
the walkthroughs, his communication, his preparation is phenomenal. Same guy every
week, every day, consistent, diligent, hardworking. Not only preparation, but his effort and
strain and physicality and finish out there on the field. So probably can’t say enough good
things about Jonah. I know I feel that way. I believe the guys feel that way playing with him.
The communication was still at our standard, trying to get everyone on the same page. Of
course we have things we can improve here and there, but for him to be able to handle that
as a rookie is really impressive.”
(On the importance of leadership from veterans to help teammates maintain the standard)
“Huge, huge, huge. And I appreciate, the staff appreciates their buy-in to what we’ve tried to
create here, because as much as we preach it, it really doesn’t come to fruition, it doesn’t
materialize unless they embrace it. They’re the ones that have to live it. They’re the ones
that have to go out there and execute the things we’re talking about every single day. So it
really starts with their buy-in as a veteran standpoint, from the starters all the way down to
the practice squad guys, when you have that environment where the best players and the
guys who have been around are doing the hard things and they’re doing the hard things right
all the time, it makes it hard for the other guys to not do those things. So, it’s contagious
when they have that type of work ethic. And then you, what you love to see is the love for
the teammates. When those guys are pulling a rookie aside to give them the extra coaching
points or to give them a reminder, give them a tip here and there, that is so special to see
those guys and the care that they have because they’ve got so many other things to worry
about. If I’m [RB] Travis Etienne [Jr.], if I’m [OL] Robert Hainsey, If I’m [QB] Trevor Lawrence,
I’ve got my own billion problems that I’ve got to worry about. I’m sure I’m not feeling great,
it’s towards the end of the season, I’m tired. But to go out of their way to help those guys, it
shows you how they feel about each other, which is really special.”
(On the ‘guts’ of Lawrence to stand in the pocket and complete a pass to WR Parker
Washington when he knows he’ll get hit) “Yeah, an exceptional play. It shows you his
mindset, his toughness, his ability to attack defenses and stand in there knowing the issue,
knowing he’s going to get hit, but trying to take that shot, especially in that situation. That
play probably encapsulates who he is as a player. Being selfless, standing in there, knowing
you’re going to get hit, delivering in a crunch moment, critical play, and to give another guy
a big play down the field, delivering an unbelievable throw. That’s a play that I’ll probably be
showing quarterbacks and players for years to come. That’s a really phenomenal play by
him.”
(On having patience in developing a quarterback) “Yeah, that’s a great question. I don’t
know that I would necessarily even frame it as patience, because I think there’s a
commitment from the top down, starting with Liam [Head Coach Liam Coen], to the staff,
to the quarterback room, to every player in there. There’s a commitment to our process and
there’s an understanding when you’re committed to that process and you’re not dictated by
results that whether it is a positive or negative result, you’re sticking with the process the
next day regardless. So, it’s a beautiful thing in the sense that you don’t have to be
concerned about, hey, we’ve got to wait another week to see if this works out. We’ve got to
wait another month. We’re going to stick with that process now. We’re going to try to
improve the process whenever possible, but we have a lot of faith and belief in that process
and that really starts with Liam and what he’s built here and the foundation and the attitude
and the mindset that the guys approach every day of work with. So, it may sound like a cop
out answer, but it doesn’t require that feeling of patience and sitting around and that there’s
not a lot of stress to say, we need this at a certain time. Because we do have that mindset
of just going 1-0 today, or 1-0 in our process, whatever it may be.”
(On how to balance trusting the process with being judged on results) “Well, you have the
understanding that if our process is right and we continue to work at that process and we
continue to improve that process, then that will drive the results. But if we focus on the
results and try to work our way backwards, we know that we’re going to get caught up
somewhere else along the way. Because if our goal is that we’re going to go out there and
win 12 games and we say that in the offseason, or we’re going to win however many games
and win the division title, that’s a great goal. But you’re not going to be able to do that on a
Tuesday in May. As much as you want to try. I tell the guys, ‘Hey, you guys want to win two
games? You can try to win two games this week, but it’s going to be really darn hard. I don’t
know if you’re going to be able to do it.’ So, whether you like it or not, the only thing that you
can control is this current moment. So, we talk about being, ‘What now?’Just focusing on
the present moment right here. So, it’s really not up to us as much as we say. I certainly
understand that it is easy to focus on those things because that’s what everyone else is
talking about. But when our mission is to try to improve on that process and execute that
process, you really have no other choice. There is no choice but to attack that process
every day. So that’s kind of the mindset that the guys approach it with.”
(On the importance of a short-term memory on offense) “Yeah, that’s a huge point. That’s
why we talk about being ‘what now’ because if you want to live in the past, you’re going to
die in the present. So, if you continue to focus on those things that happened then you’re
going to let one loss turn into two losses. Because the more attention you spend on that,
you’re sitting there ruminating about it, the less opportunity you have to improve and focus
on what you need to do now. So, we try to learn from all of those mistakes. When we make
a mistake in the red zone, we learn as much as we can from it and then we move on from it
because we’ve got to be focused on the next play. It takes a long time for some guys to get
used to that because guys are so used to getting beat up over a turnover or a fumble or a
missed block, but we don’t have that luxury. We’ve got another series coming up, our
defense is going to get us the ball back pretty quick and we’ve got to go out there and be
able to execute. So, players and coaches, it takes not only all 11, the entire offense to be
bought in on that and say, we’ve got to focus on what now.”
(On preparing for two premier interior defensive linemen in Titans DTs Jeffrey Simmons and
T’Vondre Sweat) “Yeah, another really good question, makes it an unbelievable challenge.
The problem with those guys is you want to get double teams on them, but you can’t double
team everybody. And then even if you do get double teams on them, they’re still beating
double teams. So, it makes an exceptional challenge where you can’t always just try to
attack that by allocating more bodies to the problem. You’ve got to have creative ways to
have different runs, different protection schemes, different personnels, different
formations, different ways to try to mitigate all the disaster that they can kind of create.”
(On if there was a moment he realized the Lawrence understood the offense) “That’s
another great question. There’s definitely little moments here and there where even all the
way back to the spring, there are times in practice out there where you’re throwing routes in
seven on seven where he throws a route where you see his hand separating and he’s
starting to throw, he’s made the decision to make a throw. And if you were to pause the
picture, I can think of one specific down in the red zone we were throwing and there was
about five guys standing in front of the receiver that he’s about to throw to, but he’s starting
his arm and he’s making that decision ready to throw. And of course, as he lets that thing
go, those defenders start to move with his eyes as he’s pulling the defender out of the way
and that thing opens up and he’s throwing it on time. And the offensive receiver’s sitting
there right on the goal line, and it looks like the parting of the seas. He’s just sitting there
and gets an awesome completion. There are moments like that, but there’s a hundred of
those moments over the course of the spring, training camp. We just don’t always get it to
show up on Sunday. So, when it doesn’t show up on Sunday, that’s why you don’t lose that
faith and confidence in the process because you see it out on the practice field. We’re with
each other so much. You hear about it in the meeting room, you understand the
conversations that we have, that there is progress because of the way he’s verbalizing what
he’s seeing, how he’s seeing things, how he’s trying to make decisions. So that’s one, you
have that play even the other day where he’s throwing that high cross that Ryan’s talking
about across the middle of the field. There are still plays that he has even now that it takes
me a second to catch my breath because of how exceptional they are. So that’s really all
him. I would love to take credit and say that’s part of our process, but that’s him being a
phenomenal football player and that’s his work out there.”
(On when a trick play does not work in the game after being executed in practice all week) “I
think the deflating, I try not to—I don’t know that we’d say it’s deflating, but I think in the
sense that you’re disappointed that you turned the ball over. Because there are certain
plays where they don’t go your way, but you’ve got another chance at second-and-10,
you’ve got another chance at third-and-10 or third-and-five, whatever it may be. I think
giving the ball away, anytime you give the ball away, whether it’s a trick play or whether it’s
just a regular run or a pass and an interception, those are the things that you look back on
at the end of the year that you always wish every one of those play calls, every single one of
those plays, the execution, you want those back. I don’t think that having a trick play that
doesn’t work and goes wrong necessarily is deflating because I think the guys understand
we’re calling those plays because we believe in them. We believe that they can go out there
and execute those plays. Those cause a little extra ball handling. They take a little bit of
extra element of skill or execution out there, a little higher level of difficulty. But those are

when they do come to life. We understand they’re not all going to come to life, but it’s the

too. So, we’ve got to accept the risk when we’re trying to get that type of reward.”
