anyone best effect example grown men overcame overcome saints three type win
They are distractions, but they are distractions for those three individuals more than anyone else. You can see with grown men in our league, you have to overcome any type of distraction.

I met with Jay Gruden this morning and talked a lot about individual responsibility. We talked about being a part of a team, which he understood well.
