Take the ball

From Sean Payton's presser yesterday:
Q: When you send your three captains out to the coin toss, how descriptive are the instructions you give them?

A: It’s typically we want the ball. In the event of a big wind maybe, where it’s pretty windy, it might be let’s defer, but typically we want to take the ball and what’s the direction we want to defend.


That's good but not quite strong enough. Take the damn ball. Why start a game by selecting to turn it over?
