“This is a life lesson for everybody. Three nights ago, I was in deep thought. Deep thought. I was thinking about you guys, I was thinking about all the excitement surrounding us, man. All of it. Did you know that the only bird in the world that will attack an eagle is a crow? It’s a crow. That’s the only bird that will have the balls to attack an eagle. It will perch on the eagle’s back and peck at its neck. So rather than fight back and tear a crow to pieces, like it can. An eagle spreads its wings and soars as high as it possibly can. It keeps going, and going, and going, as high as it can. The higher the eagle flies, the harder it is for the crow to breathe. Eventually, the crow suffocates, falls back down to earth and dies. That’s what happens.”
“Guys, we’ve got a great deal of hype around us. We do. All kinds of expectations. And with expectations, we know that there’s going to be a whole lot of people, a whole lot of crows, expecting us to fall on our face. What are you doing to find that little bit more to getting closer to being a great fuckin team? You finish practice, now what? You finish meetings, now what? Lifting, now what? A rep, now what? If we come together and we challenge ourselves to do a little bit more every day, the crows, they’ll fall by themselves.”
“Embrace what we’re capable of. Embrace the fact that we aren’t the same old Jets. Embrace the fact that we do have a target on our back. Embrace the fact that when teams look at our schedule, they’re not chalking us up for a W. They’re coming at you. That’s exactly where we want to be. And that’s fuckin awesome.”
