We all bring our assumptions to the table about what that means, tinged by our personal biases. But it’s certainly not about being everybody’s personal cheerleader. Indeed, not for the first time, Watt explained how stepping into the film room with Tomlin is a nerve-wracking experience.
“When you come in the team meeting room, you don’t know what he’s gonna show,” he told Mike Florio and Chris Simms on Pro Football Talk.
