anytime feet great guy listed size
Anytime you've got a back listed at 265 who's probably 280 and still has nimble feet like a 225-pound guy, it's going to take more than one guy to take him down. He's got great size and great feet. That's the combination that makes it so difficult. That's what makes him so special.
pushed quickness
I'm not getting pushed around as much, and I still have the quickness I've always had.
might stay sure
I'm not even sure why I still need to go. I might as well stay home, because we've got our guy.
adjustment defense packing parker ready team
It's one thing when you play a team with a big back and it's going to be him packing that thing 40 times. You get ready for it. But they only give you Bettis for 15 and Parker for 25. That's a big adjustment the defense has to make.
guys
I've told every one of these guys to make the most of this. You never know when you're going to get back.
ball patient run seconds shot slow team time
They're going to slow the ball down and not want to run with us. They're going to use 30, 35 seconds on the shot clock. Any time a team is that patient with the basketball, it's hard.
last lose messed remember rest tough whipped
They whipped us last year. It's always tough to lose to an in-state rival, but that was especially bad. I think we all remember that game. It pretty much messed up the rest of our season.
almost coach college coming goes good gotten helps job players since talking territory
It's been that way ever since I've gotten to Denver. It goes with the territory now. It's almost like being a college coach again. If you can do a good job of talking players into coming to your team, it kind of helps you.
believe message night ready saw sends staying takes time whatever work worked
It sends the message that he's ready to work and do whatever it takes to win. Him staying up all night scouting, we can believe in him because he's got our backs. The first time I saw that, when he worked out with us, it was great, because we're all in this together.
career four guys line people putting
People thought I was putting my career on the line by recommending those four guys. But if I'm going to put my career on the line, there's no other four guys I would have chosen.
career four good guys rather stake
I can't think of four guys I'd rather stake my career on. I know they can play. I know they're good people.
college defensive football played plays six tight year
He only played one year of college football -- 12 plays. Six plays at tight end and six plays at defensive end.
good work
I do feel good about things working out the way we want them to work out.
few home protect special win
You've got to win at home if you want to do anything and then get a few on the road. But if it's going to be a special season, you've got to protect your house.
