displace guys handed learning natural pass
Schematically, because all he has really done was getting handed the football, he's still learning the pass game. When we displace him, that is not natural to him. (But) he's one of those guys where if you show him something, he's got it.
areas ask bit brings extremely field game games good guy obviously played practice ready standard
I will tell you that he always brings a standard to the practice field and the game field. He has always been extremely professional in those areas and obviously extremely productive. That is all you can ask for the guy to do. On the little bit he has played in the preseason, he is ready to go. He's been in big games before and he is going to his hometown, but I think you have a pretty good idea of what he will do.
care guys paying receiver running sure wants
You don't do anything without those guys in front. Everyone wants the receiver or the running back or the quarterback, but you have to make sure you're paying attention. You better take care of your lines.
coached coaching course dog everybody guy hard league miles playing premium super won
I don't know, 33, he may have had a lot of hard miles on him. Sometimes these coaching years are like dog years. It's all relative. I think the experiences through the course of that. He's a guy that has coached in and won the Super Bowl. You can't put a premium on that. That's what everybody in this league is playing for, that ring. I don't have one on my finger, he does have one on his finger. There is something to that.
age bobby coach expertise given guys head knight named obviously run strapped took
Obviously, he had an expertise and a way about him. I don't think you can get strapped by the age thing. Bobby Knight was named a head coach at a very young age. Those guys were given a lot, tool-wise, and they've obviously took it and run with it.

It just became a deal where I didn't feel like it was the team, I felt like it was 'me. I went through a big 'me' situation last year with a guy who was all about 'me.
appreciate contribute difference difficult difficulty game guys immediate learning list outside overcome people players position problems rookie short speed steep takes talk year
It's just a difficult position to come into as a rookie and make a big impact. I don't think people outside the game appreciate the difficulty involved. I mean, you can talk about the speed of the game, and how different it is, but there are a lot of other things that contribute to the problems players have at the position. It's a very steep learning curve, and it takes some guys a year or two to overcome it. It's a very short list of guys who come in and make an immediate difference at the position.
bunch gets guys hard played time younger
It's hard for him most of the time by the time he gets in there we've got - I don't want to say a patchwork offense, but he's usually out there with a bunch of different guys who haven't played together, younger guys,

excited football forward game guys loves monday national night ready strive
The one thing that you know about Terrell is that he loves to play the game, so he's excited to get going. This is what these guys strive for. This is what they look forward to. To have it on the national stage, it's a Monday night football game and a rematch of the NFC championship game that he didn't play in. He will be ready to go.
fresh guys legs spread
We've always spread it around. All the guys give you a little something different. And I think fresh legs are important.
defense giving guys heading involved landmark opposed path seeing steps thinking time
You see it with all the guys that are in their first time with this offense. You can't be thinking a lot. You want to just be reacting, heading down your path and seeing what the defense is giving you, as opposed to thinking about what steps you have to take and what your landmark is and how you're involved in the protection.
based believe control franchise guy injured loses opening position
I said in my opening comments... he's a franchise quarterback, and I don't believe a guy loses his position based on injury. So the first thing is, he doesn't need to be injured anymore. He's got to rehab. He's got control over that. I don't have control over that.
