"There are certain things when you talk about Philip’s role," Mccoy said. "Is it a run-to-run check? Is it a run-to-pass? Is it a pass-to-run? You have all those variations. All the sudden, you have a certain play called, and there is some front that he sees. And he says, ‘I don’t want to throw into this. We can check into a run and pick up a first down.’ When you have someone as talented and smart as Philip, you have the flexibility to do that. He’s one of the best all-time to play the game. Mentally, he’s as sharp as they come.

"Over the years, when we’ve ran it really well, you get chunk plays," Rivers said. "When you can’t really run it very well and they can play Cover 2 shell zone, you can’t get those. They don’t care if you’re showing run. They’re going to say, ‘Go get your 2 (yards).’ And they don’t care.
