agree anybody losing matter sleep thinks
I agree with Tom, sure. I'm not really losing too much sleep over it. It doesn't really matter what anybody else thinks about our team.
basis coached daily secondary together tom worked
I also coached the secondary and Tom coached the receivers, so we worked together on a daily basis with each other,
close covering difference fourth good guy hard middle players run single third top virtually wear
He was a guy who was able to go hard and run hard on virtually every single play of the game. It didn't make any difference if it was the fourth quarter, in the middle of a two-minute drive, or the third play of the game. He was always very, very close to his top speed. ... Even if he had good players covering him, he'd wear them down.
certainly good opportunity question sure
He certainly deserves, and I'm sure will get, a good opportunity (elsewhere). He's going to be in the league. There's no question about that.
almost clear game good knows needs open passing traffic understanding
He kind of knows the right thing to do without being told. He just knows how to get open and he has a good understanding of passing game concepts. He knows where the other receivers are. He understands where he needs to be, and when there are traffic problems, he almost always does the right thing to clear that traffic up.
decision extra figure guys help information
Guys that you know you're going to have to make a decision on (soon), you better figure out what extra information you can get between now and then to help you with that decision.
diligence hank kid puts smart tough works
Hank is a smart player. He works hard. He is very diligent. He is a tough kid and he really puts a lot into the game.
best built felt good needs options passing production running
He has some experience. We felt like what our needs were and what our options were, that he was the best fit. He's had some experience. He's good running the ball. He's built like Kevin. Not the same, but similar. Short, thick, strong, legs, good balance. He's probably had more production running than receiving, but I think he can also be in the passing game.
experience playing
He has some experience playing in the league,
ball becomes breaks corners factor gets guy hands plays seeing sees smart though throwing thrown
He has outstanding ball skills. He's a smart player. He anticipates well. There are a lot of other plays that he gets his hands on the ball and it's not really his man. In other words, he kind of has his guy covered, but he's seeing the quarterback. He sees the ball thrown and then he breaks on the ball . . . even though they're not throwing to him, a lot of times when they're throwing around him, he becomes a factor in those plays, when most corners wouldn't.
adds against defensive great job matching players week wrinkles
He does a great job from week to week of matching up his players against your defensive weaknesses. And he also adds little, different wrinkles to it.
amount field help
He never really got on the field for a significant amount of time. That didn't help him.
everybody game needs
He needs to sharpen his game like everybody else does,
almost changed clock far field great huge laid overthrow position ran run supposed throw tom
He made a great catch. That was a huge play. Changed the field position, put us in position to run the clock out. ... He did what he was supposed to do. Tom read it, laid it out there, and Bethel ran it down. I mean, we always tell Tom just throw it out there as far as you can and make him run for it. He can't overthrow him -- he almost did -- but Bethel ran it down.
