My overall knowledge of football specifications, the overall process that happens on game day with the footballs is very limited. I would say that during the course of the game, I honestly never - it probably has happened on an incomplete pass or something - but I've never touched a game ball. It's not something I have any familiarity with on that.
You can play hard. You can play aggressive. You can give 120% but if one guy is out of position then someone is running through the line of scrimmage and he is going to gain a bunch of yards.
You get the job done or you don't.

For a team to accomplish their goal, everybody’s got to give up a little bit of their individuality.
To live in the past is to die in the present.
There are no shortcuts to building a team each season. You build the foundation brick by brick.
Talent sets the floor, character sets the ceiling
Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you
If you sit back & spend too much time feeling good about what you did in the past, you're going to come up short next time
There is an old saying about the strength of the wolf is the pack, and I think there is a lot of truth to that. On a football team, it’s not the strength of the individual players, but it is the strength of the unit and how they all function together.
The conversation was, 'Look, we're taking him. We're taking a good football player. We don't know what we're going to do with him exactly, but we figure we'll find something.
We'll take a look at Tom's situation and we'll make an evaluation there. We'll talk about that and make the decision later on in the week. We'll just have to wait and see.
