Look at us now, watch the momentum build up, and these guys know what to do.” “these guys know when to put the pedal to the ground, and it seems like everyone is going to be looking over their shoulders and looking around and saying, ‘they are coming.'” They have the knowledge, the breadth, the depth, the technique, the passion, and the firepower to get the job done.
