“I think he’s an experienced player," coach Brian Flores said on Monday. "He understands this offense. By all accounts, he’s pretty much a coach on the field, so he can kind of direct traffic and point guys in the right direction. I think in a lot of ways, that’s probably what he’s alluding to, and I see that, too. He’s done a good job from that standpoint and he’s a confident person. The other guys feed off of that confidence and I think that’s helped us across the board, not just offensively.
