What were Head Coach Josh McDaniels’ first impressions after pads came on?

On his relationship with GM Dave Ziegler:

“We’ve known each other for a long time, that’s one part of it, but I think we’ve also earned the respect and trust of the other person. In this kind of a situation, to me, the best thing we can do is really be honest with one another. The trust factor for me is the biggest part because he can say something to me that maybe I didn’t think of it or maybe I don’t even agree with it, that’s what we want to do. If we’re sitting there saying the same thing every day, we’re not going to get the best from each other.”
