play two giving
It just shows you have come prepared to play and ready to execute. It doesn't give you that much comfort when it's early and you still have another two and a half to three quarters to go. You better keep playing. But it is a positive, it gives you energy and it gives you a little boost like that.
dear-lord soul cold
Dear Lord, I pray that my place will never be with the cold, timid souls who do not compete yet criticize, for they never know or feel success or failure.

We don't expect Travis to play. He hasn't progressed to the point to where he is effective or can be at full speed. A receiver not at full speed makes it pretty tough.

Those conversations are usually pretty short. He hasn't been in that position much, and I understand where he was coming from.
ability believe chance great guys
Those guys all have ability .... I believe they've got a chance to really be a great group.
believe believing came entire good hear media mind mistakes players ranked separation spring
We came out of spring believing that they each had a scrimmage or two that they were good at and one or two that they made some mistakes at. Each of them did that and in our mind there was not a separation going into (Thursday's) practice. I feel it's unfortunate that so many of you in the media have ranked them and have put them in place so that players have to hear that the entire summer. It's really not fair.
great matched opportunity ready shooting
We have a great opportunity to go down and win. That is what we are always shooting for and we will be ready to go after it. ... We feel like we are making great strides, too, and traditionally we have matched up with them.

We need to establish some kind of passing game.
lousy players whatever
We have not been good. The players haven't been good. You can say whatever you want. I have done a lousy job.
