And when they’re not there, he is still a one-man Paul Bunyan wrecking crew. He is willing his team across the goal line. … [And] let’s give Sean McDermott his credit. That man knows how to coach.”‘

And so there’s not a whole lot of shortcuts or ways around it. It’s got to be a mentality for us, first and foremost, that we carry through the rest of the season.”’
