I was lucky enough when it came to sports and work ethic to be taught some basics that continue to be important.

His velocity is so much better this spring than it was before. You can see the work ethic is paying off for him in a lot of ways.

I did it to remind them that they need to work. That work ethic is starting to pay off.

How do you quantify his work ethic, the fact that he's a great teammate and is humble? It's difficult to put a dollar figure on that, but we had to try.

My biggest question wasn't about the organization, the work ethic, none of the things that have been part of Joe's life. My biggest question had to do with how he would adapt and adjust to calling plays in a different time in football. That really was one of the greatest challenges that he faced last year was, 'Can I run my offense as I knew it in this modern day and age of football'. And the answer was no.

Even during the time he was failing, he was dedicated to his work ethic. He worked his tail off.
