And so obviously nobody knew anything about me when I took over but you know going back to the idea that I played Arena Football the beautiful thing about Arena Football is we never handed the football off like we threw at every stat we were expected to score every time we
Had the ball uh you know we scored 70 plus points a game so when I got to St Louis and I had all these these weapons around me I was like this is how we’re supposed to play you know we had Marshall in the backfield but we’d
Rather throw it to Marshall than hand it to him in most situations and you know I remember you know we’d be scoring 35 40 points a game I mean people would be like oh you guys are unbelievable and I remember thinking you’re talking about we’re putting twice a game like we got
To figure out this problem here because we’re not supposed to be punting so my mentality was to score it’s a throw to be you know to do what I was doing in the read football and like you said the beautiful thing was I had a bunch of
Pieces around me that were so talented that allowed me to do what I had been doing for years or so you know as much as you’re you know you still have to convince yourself you can do it at the highest level right we’re all confident we all get done with college and it’s
Like oh yeah we could play in the NFL but there’s always that period where you really do have to convince yourself like I gotta be there okay yes I thought I could I can do it I felt that was more than ready for the opportunity the
System fit exactly what I did well and the aggressive approach that we took and then like you said couple that with I mean Hall of Famers that both wide receiversity and Main wide receiver spots Hall of Famer in the backfield Hall of Fame left tackle I mean it was like the perfect storm
The defense defense defense was good and you know what we did well it played their strengths but you know Julian I often tell people like my story was phrased and it took me a while to get there but if somebody looked you in the eye when you were 12 years old when you
Were dreaming about playing in the NFL and they said by the time you’re 28 you’ll have one in MVP won a Super Bowl and won a Super Bowl MVP would you take it heck yeah you take it so it took me a while to get there but because
Everything happened in that first year I was kind of catapulted into the position I would have loved to have been anyways at that stage in my career and I could just kind of hit the ground running it and go from there
