"Well strength, you know what I'm saying, charismatic, athletic, ground-based athletes. You know say I'm ground-based and if we got to leave the ground every once in a while. We got to remind everybody to do that, too, just versatile. Weaknesses? Let me think. Nah, we ain't got no weaknesses," Dawkins added. [From 7:15 to 7:42]
