So, those four guys all of a sudden are in the rotation. That helps you.”

Q: Is there any more to winning the first game on the road in a season, particularly in the opening game?
EDWARDS: “You get one on the road, that’s big, really big. It can set the stage for you and gives you a lot of momentum, especially if you’re on the road and you’re the underdog and you win. That’s even better. This is a big game for us, no doubt about it, but it’s not the only game. I just think that you don’t put too much into them. I’ve seen a lot of coaches and if they talk the whole off-season about that one game they’re about to play and they don’t win….you’ve used up all your bullets and you’ve got 15 games left. You used up all your bullets on the first game. If you lose your second, third or fourth the first one doesn’t mean anything any more.”
Q: Will these first two games tell you what your team is made of because they’re both on the road?
EDWARDS: “Yeah, and one team is vastly improved and they’re excited and the other team is pretty good. They were in the Super Bowl last year. Any time you can win on the road it’s big.”

If you wouldn't coach scared on the road it would be a little easier.
