That was actually the pre-game speech.

Sometimes, you have to follow Winfield Scott Hancock's model rather than Patton's:

During the massive Confederate artillery bombardment that preceded the infantry assault, Hancock was prominent on horseback, reviewing and encouraging his troops. When one of his subordinates protested, "General, the corps commander ought not to risk his life that way," Hancock is said to have replied, "There are times when a corps commander's life does not count."
