I think the way we go about practicing is critical. I believe in having a physical tough camp. I don’t think you back off from that. If you do, it may not matter about those games. If you’re not physical enough in the line of scrimmage and you’re not tough enough and you don’t demand excellence because during the season there’s only so much we can do to create the toughness that we needed at the line of scrimmage and the toughness we need as an overall football team.
