"My me sage to our guys is you've got to suck it up, got to fight through it. And if they're bringing it, you've got to bring a gun to a knife fight. That's how it has to go. So to get on them, we have to be better."

They might not be happy with what were doing, but usually when things make someone Evan Engram Jerseys not happy theyre effective, so I dont know if thats a penalty or what theyre thinking it is, but its the way we play, and I dont see itchanging, Miller said.Maybe hes just trying to rile his guys or put a thought in the referees heads or something, Im not sure.Its just a situation that Im not really worried about.
