I don't know what to say. Really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. All comes down to today. Either we heal as a team or we are going to crumble inch by inch, play by play till we're finished. We are in **** right now. Gentlemen, believe me and we can stay here and get the **** kicked out of us so we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of **** one inch at a time. Now, I can't do it for you. I'm too old. I look around and I see these young faces and I think, I mean, I made every wrong choice. A middle aged man could make. I uh I ****** away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who has ever loved me. And lately I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror. You know, when you get old in life, things get taken from you. That's, that's part of life. But you only learn that when you start losing stuff, you find out that life is just a game of inches. So is football because in either game life or football, the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half step too late or too early. You don't quite make it one half second, too slow or too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They are in ever break of the game. Every minute. Every second on this team, we fight for that inch on this team. We tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch because we know when we add up all those inches, that's going to make the ******* difference between winning and losing, between living and dying. I'll tell you this in any fight. It is the guy who is willing to die who is going to win that inch. And I know if I'm going to have any life anymore, it is because I am still willing to fight and die for that inch because that is what living is the six inches in front of your face. No, I can't make you do it. You gotta look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now, I think you're going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. You're going to see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows when it comes down to it, you are going to do the same thing for him. That's a team. Gentlemen. And neither we heal now as a team or we will die as individuals. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?
