One of the things Keon said that “triggered” me was (him mimicking a conversation with a coach) “No, you don’t have to tell me why. I am a grown ass man. I understand.” I think that’s close to what he said.
In past press conferences, defensive players have given kudos to McD because he always explains ‘the why’.
I see this with younger coworkers quite frequently. They THINK they know ‘the why’ and therefore they THINK they are taking the correct actions. Sometimes that’s true. However, there are plenty of times where, if they had just been patient enough to receive (or even ask for) ‘the why’ explanation, they would have understood a little bit better a lotta bit faster.
Im probably reading into that single statement way too much, but it did immediately catch my attention.
Still, I agree, Keon appears a very thoughtful young man with so many good things going on above the shoulders. Really pulling for him to have a great offseason and to kick butt this Fall.
