bit certain game good learning players respond
This year, it's a little bit different circumstance. We are learning in each game how certain players are going to respond in different competitive situations. So it probably has been good for us in these (first) two games.
certainly ends impressed tight vertical
We know a little something about tight ends around here, and we're very impressed with him. And we're certainly very impressed with Jennings and his vertical speed.
badly battling believe certain disservice giving hard kids miss players scene setting start talking trust
If we get into (injuries), then it's like we're setting a scene for not doing well. We believe in the players and we trust the players we put in the game. ? When you start talking about how badly you miss certain guys, then you're doing a disservice to those kids battling hard for you, as if what they're giving you isn't enough.
across board certain positions rich team
Now, we have certain positions that are rich in experience, but across the board it's the most inexperienced team that we've had,
advantage behind certainly experience playing team
I think it's to the quarterback's advantage to be playing with experience behind him, and then if it's to the quarterback's advantage, it is certainly going to make it to the advantage of the team to have an experienced quarterback.
certainly close hoping
That was pretty close to being a season-ending injury. I'm certainly hoping that this one is not in that category.
certain focus jersey putting rebuilding represent sharper team together university vital wear
It is a privilege, and not a right, to wear a Cavalier jersey and to represent our university community. There are certain things that are vital to putting your team together every year, and those things become in sharper focus and multiplied when you're in a rebuilding circumstance.
attitude averse certainly ends four three tight
Our attitude with tight ends here is the more the merrier. I don't know if we'll get to four tight ends, but we certainly wouldn't be averse to having three in there.
adaptable building certainly easily enables fit guy jets might poise speculate team
Other than the building itself, there's little about the Jets that's the same as it was when we were there. So I don't really know enough about the team to be able to speculate as to how he might fit in. He's a very adaptable guy and his poise and self-confidence enables him to really fit into any environment, and he certainly did that very easily when he went to Atlanta.
certainly earned earning
He's earning our confidence, and he certainly earned more of it today.
attention certain december feelings given move position positive practice segment
His move on this position started back in December when we would segment a certain part of the practice just for developmental purposes. That was a position of attention as we started in the spring, and he's given us some positive feelings about that from the way he performed.
active amongst certainly game good players productive unfair
His whole game has progressed. It probably would be unfair to Emmanuel to say that it's one thing or the other, but he's a more confident, more active and certainly more productive player. Amongst the players who are having a very good camp, Emmanuel is very much one of them.
certainly featured performers
He's going to certainly be one of our featured performers this year.
ankles breaks certainly feet good hear indicate instead longer period rehab
Certainly the period of rehab would indicate that. Sometimes, these sprains of ankles and feet take longer than breaks do. When you hear that a guy's got a sprain instead of a break, that's not necessarily good news.
