@segdeha.com asks, "For a coaching staff going through the lead up to the Super Bowl for the first time, how are they approaching logistics/scheduling and managing all the nuttiness/distractions?

A: The two weeks between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl are anything but normal for an NFL team, but both teams deal with the same distractions, media obligations, etc., so it's really just a matter of working through those things when they come up and focusing on football when it's time for that. Some teams over the years have believed in getting all the game-planning in during the week at home to have less to do while on location at the Super Bowl the following week, while other coaches want to keep tinkering for the full two weeks. Macdonald didn't disclose how they'd approach that, but said part of the planning process will be having conversations with coaches who have been through the process.

"Working through that," Macdonald said. "Definitely different schools of thought to your point in talking to some folks today, talking to our coordinators on how we want to operate. Still working through how exactly we want to do it. Frankly I think it's going to be something we'll have to navigate as these two weeks present itself, too. So the bulk of the work will happen this week and then go from there."

Macdonald noted that while a ton of extra work has to happen for an NFL team to move its operations to a different location for a week, most of the stress of that is on people who make it all happen behind the scenes, making the process pretty smooth for players and coaches.

"A lot of people have to put in a lot of work to make it happen," he said. "But what's awesome is we don't have to worry. Just kind of show up and do our job. Everybody does a great job setting the table for us."

As for the challenges they'll face during the week, Macdonald said, "The days will look a little bit different. It's really the intent behind what we're trying to do every day. Just staying focused on the things that we can control, because there is so much extra, you know. And that comes with the territory, so it's exciting. It's an opportunity to kind of get it right, and I trust our guys. Our guys will be great. They know that we got one goal in mind. Let's go make it happen."
