As for understanding everything about the playbook and defenses, Favre/Detmer conversation comes to mind:
[Farve] said ‘Ty, I gotta ask you a question.’ And Ty was just about as goofy as I was.
He says, ‘What’s that?’
And I say, ‘What’s nickel defense?’
He gets real quiet. He says, ‘Are you serious?’
I said ‘Yeah, I’m serious.”
He says, ‘Well, they basically take out a linebacker and bring in a DB.’
I said, ‘That’s it?’
He said, ‘Thats it!’
I said, ‘Who gives a [expletive]?’
