bringing dusty enter figured intention nfl year
We had no intention of bringing Dusty back when he was let go a year ago. I figured he'd enter the NFL draft, and that would be it.
built challenged difficult last year
I think back to last year and, I don't want to say it was easy, but we made it look easy. We weren't challenged in difficult situations. This year, we have been, and it's built our character.
ability adrian aware benefit help last lost needs playing polish practice raw spring time year
Adrian needs work. He can polish a lot of things up to become a better and better player, and he's aware of that. I think this can really help him. When you think of the time he has lost - spring last year, two-a-days the year before - he's playing on a lot of raw ability and I think some of this practice time can really benefit him.
anxious coming demeanor locker room tough year
Every year coming into the season, I'm always the most anxious because you want to see what you are. How competitive are we? How tough are we? What's our attitude?. And what's the players' demeanor in the locker room and coming out of the tunnel?
continue develop football game passing past players throw weeks whatever year
We need to develop a passing game that our players can execute. For whatever reason, for the past two weeks what we have been doing hasn't been productive. That is being about as kind as I can be. We are not going to continue to go through the year like this and not be able to throw the football some.
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.
blame bunch coming name overall reasons stronger year
But I feel overall that coming into the year that we would have been stronger and better than we have been. You can name a bunch of reasons why we haven't been. Blame it on me. That's fine.

Watching the TCU game and critiquing it Sunday) on tape, we just weren't very physical up front. TCU just outplayed and outcoached us.

chance deserves means mostly older opportunity paul played poorly saying seen sitting start takes thompson
We're going to give Rhett Bomar a chance to start and see where he takes it. 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.
convert protect
When we did protect him, we didn't convert our opportunities.
What he has been able to do is just remarkable.

We're going to keep getting better as we go. I believe there's great potential as we go. Are we there yet? Obviously not. But we're going to keep trying.
