When a reporter asked about this teams offense not living up to expectations, Pete went into Phil Jackson mode -- totally complimenting the reporter (thank you for lighting a fire in my team to get even better), but essentially saying nope you're wrong.
"We've done extensive studies to make sure we know. We want to know the truth of what's going on. We're ahead in rushing yards, we're ahead in passing yards, we're ahead in efficiency, time of possession, turnovers, everything. All of the critical stats and that's really positive and it's important for our team to know that because they have a sense that they're not living up to expectations which I love. But we do need to know what the truth is."
