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.
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.
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.
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,

It really is driven by the fact that other guys are doing a bit more special-teams wise,
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.
active city flying guys hair kansas playing saw
He was one of the most active guys we saw in that Kansas City game, ... He's flying around and playing like his hair is on fire.
athlete bit coaching communication dinosaurs guys maybe plenty talk telling
I'm not telling you that there are not some dinosaurs coaching in this league, because there is plenty of them - and maybe they do it a little bit differently. I just think the communication with today's athlete ... it's important that you have young guys that are able to talk to those guys.
deals guys
These guys jumped out. It's one of those deals where you snooze, you lose.
bring coach decision fancy guys happens ok somebody somewhere whatever whether wish work
You can only coach the guys that show up and that's something, again, that decision is going to get made somewhere else. Whether they want to let somebody go and bring somebody in that kind of tickles our fancy a little bit. But you work with the guys that are here and I am OK with the guys that are here. And whatever happens with Buck, we wish him the best. We want him to be here, but if he's not, we keep marching.
competition football good
I've said this all the way along: competition makes good football teams.
