At times, I didn't play, but I was still the best - that's how I saw it. If I get 15, 20 minutes, I will do what I have to do and make an impact.
If I'm on the bench in a Premier League game, I'm thinking, 'What can I do coming off the bench?'
If I have 30 seconds to make everyone remember what I do, I better make the most of it.
It's not always going to be there; every play is not going to be a 40-yard gain. You just have to take what they give you. When the opportunity comes, you have to split it and make them pay for it.
Maybe scarcity isn't always a bad thing. Maybe scarcity is something to seek out, to fabricate for oneself.
If you're playing 55 to 60 snaps, you have opportunities to pace yourself, pick spots. When you're not playing as many and you don't know necessarily when you're going to be in, you do have to sometimes make it happen when you're out there.
My work schedule doesn't always accommodate my workout schedule, but I make do with what time I've got.
Having limited minutes is hard and it's not right to think about numbers. But in those minutes, you have to have a positive impact. That's the beauty of this game.
