beat came
They came in here and beat us, and that is it.
ball came fighting fights-and-fighting magnet
This typifies our whole year. We've been fighting and clawing this way all season. Fortunately, our ball magnet came up with the big interception.
came field good guy guys jason josh night step sure talk tomorrow white
He was always the first guy Jason White would talk to when he came off the field. Josh has a really good way with those guys and I'm sure he'll step right in here tomorrow night and do the same thing.
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.
came felt game reports rest saw walk
I saw him walk in and he said he felt pretty decent. I don't know where reports of a high-ankle sprain came from. I don't think he would have been able to play like he did the rest of the game if he had a high-ankle sprain.
ankle came cuts game guy injury power running strength
This is a guy who, when he's healthy, has been phenomenal. Once he regained the strength in his ankle this year, he was right back to running with power and making the same kind of cuts before he was injured. He really came on once he was over the injury and he has been sensational in every game since.
career decided extra good move possibly successful sure wants whatever work
I'm sure possibly all the extra work probably could be bothersome to him healthwise, and he just decided he wants to move on. Good for him. He'll have a successful career in whatever he does.
chance fighting fights-and-fighting good pushing work
I know what will be written, but we're a work in progress, ... We're fighting that. We're going to keep pushing and making improvements each week, and if we do that, we have a chance to have a good team.
fact life players
I like the fact that the players feel it and have some life in them,
plays position until
It's still the Roy-back position until someone plays like him.
Everyone said, 'That was a recipe, this is how everyone will do it,'
fluke
It was kind of a fluke injury. There really wasn't much contact.
ball both discipline good physical players sides strong win
On both sides of the ball I see strong discipline, very good schemes, and players that play in a physical way. They play hard. That's why they win so often.
bit gave guess mad plenty pride wearing worry yard
Once, he was a little mad that we only gave him one yard on a run. I said, 'Don't' worry about it. You'll get plenty of yards.' I guess that was a way to keep his pride a little bit while wearing blue.
