Using prevent defense only prevents you from winning

When you go to prevent defense, the only thing it does, it prevents yourself from winning. So Greg [Berhalter], if you're listening against the Dutch or the Netherlands or the Holland or whatever you want to call 'em, don't park the bus. Keep your foot on the gas. Be free, live free. Have the American spirit flowing through you.

I guarantee a USMNT World Cup championship in 2026

This is mission accomplished. It's a win. Anything else on top of that is gravy. We won the World Cup today by advancing outta the group stage because it was never supposed to be us this year anyways. In 2026, that's when the boys spread their wings and become a butterfly. And that's, I'm guaranteeing personally a United States World Cup championship in 2026.

What I'm gonna say though is I think it should be the four that are in right now [Georgia, Michigan, TCU, USC]. I think it should be those four. You shouldn't get penalized for playing an extra game while the other people are sitting on their couch. I would love for it to be this four.

Returning to Pitt for a fifth year was a business decision to become a first-round pick

I think the field is an advantage. I think teams come in, I always watch them in warm ups, walk every inch of the field... it's just not a great surface and you just gotta play... I think it definitely gets in their heads.

Hand size is a fake concern for NFL scouts; if you can throw ropes, the measurement doesn't matter

I know that's a huge concern for everyone... but [I] throw 45 yards on a rope. But it doesn't say like 'from a small hand.' It's the weirdest thing. The things I get tagged in... it is what it is.
