This was probably his best day of the spring. Perhaps the progress wasn't as fast during the spring as he had hoped, but this was like the final exam, and he made some real good plays today.
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.

We like to have them in the game. We've got guys who can really do something with the ball when we get it to them, they give us a good degree of versatility and they're players that are mentally versatile and flexible too.

We all understand that this was a good win for us, ... It wasn't a season-ending win. There are more games to come, and to make this really worthwhile we need to be ready to win again.

I wouldn't say that's what he bases his game on, but he has good athletic ability and good sense of how to use it.

Chris has really had a pretty positive day every day out there. I guess you could say he's had a real good average on a lot more at-bats than before.
battles digging early good halftime job last message players proud reminded training won
Our last message at halftime was something that we had said early in training camp. We just reminded the players that battles are not won by digging in. If you dig in, you just become a target. Battles are won by attacking. The players did a very good job of that, and they can be proud of themselves.

He's doing a nice job. It sounds like an over-simplification, but people who know him will understand that he's just being Vic. He's doing well because he's Vic Hall. Whether it's academics or holding on field goals for the first time, or playing on the corner, he's got a real good sense of competition.
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.
good gotten ground harmful impressive overly players plays preferred underneath
He was impressive on the tape, and he was impressive tonight, ... and that's what good players do. But most of his plays were underneath plays. There were some plays that I would have preferred that we could have gotten him on the ground faster, but in the long run, they weren't overly harmful to us.

Kai has been through two years of playing in a lot of games, he's been to all the stadiums, he's played all the teams, he knows what's out there in front of him, he knows what needs to be done. He's a mature player now and he knows what it takes to be a really, really good player.
