bench difference guy lurks trouble
We're really right where we were at most of the year. The difference being, when trouble comes, and it will, we don't have a bench to go to if the trouble lurks in the post. We don't have a big guy to go to.
chest class coaching great job received trying warmth
He's really persevered, done a great coaching job with great class and great dignity. You could see the warmth he received, he received it with great humility. No chest bumping or all of that. I'm not trying to get in their business, I just know about him as a person and him as a coach.
realize
I didn't realize it's been that long. If we can do that, it would be pretty special.
throws
I know (Kinsey) would have been here. It's one of those things: He wasn't here on time, so he doesn't start. That throws Renaldo back in there.

I've been seeing it coming. In the back of my mind, we're doing the right thing by getting the big guys ready.

This is the time of year you either grow or you get worse. I prefer to look at it as it is time for us to grow up.

It's one of those deals, you feel like you're capable of doing something special, but you haven't done it yet.
