I'm there every day - and every day these guys say ... "he's different." And Andy will tell you it's because he's comfortable, which breeds confidence. We try to illustrate that.
Some absolutely great quotes from Adam Jones, Ken Zampese, Mo Sanu, Hue Jackson and Andy himself ... including a statement about his career goals I don't know if too many people have seen.
“Andy knows what we need to do and what we’ve got to do to get over the hump."
Take a read and as always, I appreciate any separate Twitter or Facebook shares on your own.
Also - so much good stuff didn't get in - so if you all have any questions on this, hit me up below, too. Home game weekend so I've got some more time on my hands the next couple days.
I think the difference is definitely confidence. He had a sack/fumble and an interception against Baltimore. In the past, that would have basically ended his day. and more mistakes would follow. But instead he responded with some great plays and we won. He has done something to work on his mental approach to the game IMO.
