His first couple of years he was really hesitant to say a whole lot because I think Brad is really hesitant to push his beliefs and opinions on anybody, ...

In their offense they do that, anyway. They always have some gadget plays. That's part of what they do. That's part of what he does. We do our share ourselves.
