Episode notes
Earn Teammates’ Trust Early
- Get your teammates to trust you by practicing at a high level and communicating clearly in the huddle.
- Focus on not losing the game: avoid turnovers and be efficient rather than trying to win single-handedly.
Early Game Start Is Crucial For Denver
- Denver needs a strong start from Jarrett Stidham more than New England does because of the crowd and altitude factors in Denver.
- If Stidham starts poorly (turnovers or a pick-six), the Broncos could get deflated quickly.
Public Hype May Mask Low Confidence
- The Broncos are publicly hyping Stidham to build belief, but internal confidence likely sits around 'medium' or lower.
- Public messaging can be more about manifestation than true evaluation.
