Confidence. You don't just get it right. You have to earn it. You got to go do the gritty, hard, miserable work of earning confidence, and you have to take the heat and take the hate. And these guys, all of us, have had a lot of stuff cast on us for sure, and you got to look it straight in the eye and go, earn it. And these guys are starting to earn their confidence. They're starting to earn it. They're starting to earn the fact that maybe things don't go perfect on a play, or perfect in a four minute stretch, or perfect and a half, but they're starting to earn their confidence through the hard, gritty work that they're doing, the refusal to give in to fatigue or frustration and just turn into a fight. They're earning the confidence they have. And it's a good feeling.
