Grit is the ability to not care what happens to you and just keep going.

Grit is, I would say, you know it when you see it. It's the ability basically to not care what happens to you and just keep going... What doesn't kill me doesn't bother me. Like think about it—I'm not dead. You can't bother me. You can't get to me. I think that's the definition of grit.

A personal definition from a head coach is inherently subjective.

The kickoff will never be removed from the NFL

Do you think the kickoff is going to be gone in a few years? No way. No way? No, it's football. We've got to keep the foot in football.

As of 2024, the kickoff still exists, though it has been radically redesigned (2024 hybrid kickoff rule) to address safety while preserving the play.

Lamar Jackson needs to hit at least a 60% completion rate for success

What does success look like for [Lamar Jackson] next year? I'd say it's minimum 60% completion rate because we're going to be throwing the ball downfield, so it's not going to be a dink and dunk offense.

In 2019, Lamar Jackson had a 66.1% completion rate and won the NFL MVP.

The NFL should implement a 'Sky Judge' official in the press box

Let's put an official up in the box. He doesn't have to be a replay guy. Just make him the sky judge. Let him officiate the game from up there too. Just the big stuff, just the clear, obvious stuff.

The NFL has since implemented 'expedited review' and more assistance from the Replay Assistant/Art McNally GameDay Central that functions similarly to a Sky Judge.

Robert Griffin III's best football is still ahead of him

I think a lot of people might chuckle at this, but I would say this. His best football is ahead of him. I really believe that.

RG3 remained a backup and never reached the heights of his rookie season again before transitioning to media.

The 2011 Ravens were more talented than the 2012 Super Bowl team

Really, that was probably our best team, 2011. The most talented team. We were probably better than the 2012 team.

Subjective team comparison.
