ball both built executing game management momentum next playing plus prepared run sides
I thought just the management of the game, making adjustments on the run and executing on both sides of the ball as well as playing all the young guys, I think all those things are good. I think just the way they prepared for a game like this and went out and executed it. Just a lot of things were built on. Plus we got some momentum going into next week.

across best clearer coach days finish help next parent playing point prepare responsibility talking whether
It's our responsibility to help prepare them for when their playing days are over whether it's when they finish playing for us or when they finish playing at the next level.

athletics drafted easy entire front great guys lose played research written
When you lose the entire front four, and they were all drafted by the NFL, it's easy to say you won't be any good, ... But when you really research it, you see those guys have played and they have the ability. The great thing about athletics is that what's written doesn't make any difference. It's what you do.
