athlete athletics contribute excellent works year
He's got another year after this one to contribute and play. He's an excellent athlete who works hard. We just want to give him more opportunities to get on the field. I think he will give us more production.
approval believe clint everybody far final guess guys tells thinks veto
I know everybody thinks I've got the final veto and/or approval of somebody, and I guess I do, ... But he and (linebacker) Clint Ingram by far and away had all the votes. That tells you that guys who are working with him every day believe in him, too.
confidence proof record speaks total track
I have total confidence in Chuck, and I think his track record speaks for him. The proof is in what they've done.
coming fairness finds rumors saying
I probably shouldn't have said (Monday), but everyone finds out anyway. .... In fairness to him, it probably doesn't need to be me coming out and saying that. In the end, that's the situation, and it's better than all the rumors being around about it.
averages due eventually felt good law sure swing
I felt the law of averages would eventually swing back your way. We were due for something good to happen, and sure enough, it happened.
I am not at all questioning the call. But we thought we had it, then we didn't.
anybody bad explain front further goes mark pop shocked sit
I have no idea why Mark would have done that. I was as shocked as anybody in the stadium. How do you explain that? I don't know. That goes back to Pop Warner football. Mark should have made a better decision. I'm not going to sit here and go any further in front of the whole media, but it's as bad a play as there is.
close consistency felt overall
I just felt overall that there was a little more, maybe, consistency there to some degree, ... but it's still very close when you look at them overall.
increases matter opportunity potential run win
If you can run the football, your opportunity to win increases big time, no matter who you're playing, and we're going to always try to, ... With the potential that we have in our backfield, everything should set up off of that.
coaches job
In the end, they're here to go to school, and it should be our job as administrators or as coaches that if they're not, we can't put you on the field.
appears book doctors evaluate few hard magical start strength weeks
He's still a few weeks away from what the book says, but strength-wise he appears to be solid. What's the magical day is hard to determine. I think the doctors will evaluate him on (today) and see if he can't start doing some work.
plays
He's the best. You can say all you want about him. He makes the plays that matter, and you see it every week.
fully jumps looks notice
He's probably still not fully healed, but you won't notice it. He looks great. He's back. He jumps through the hole. You notice it. He looks really good.
deserves means mostly older opportunity paul played poorly saying seen sitting thompson
By no means am I sitting here saying that Paul Thompson is responsible for the way we played Saturday. That's not the case. We had a lot of guys, mostly older guys, play as poorly as I have seen them play. We feel Rhett deserves the same opportunity that Paul had.
