certain effect field hear neat saw takes time uniforms until walked
I didn't think it would really have much of an effect on me until I walked out on the field and saw the guys. You know when you hear an old song, it kind of takes you back to a certain time and moment? Well, that's kind of what the uniforms did. It was neat to do.
decision good people red
I didn't think I'd like it as well as having that red flag. People say 'it's another decision for the coach.' Well, it's a good decision for a coach.

adapted against charles combine defensive dominant helped himself line move nice pro quickly senior step tackle top worked
Charles really helped himself at the Senior Bowl, he was dominant against some of the top defensive line prospects. He's worked out well at every step of the way. He did well at the combine and at our pro day. We had to move him to tackle and he adapted quickly and made the most of it. He's going to have a nice career.

By (the) time you get out there and it's game time, you're confident in your plan and you believe you're going to be successful. The guys who can separate what you can control and what you can't control are the ones who keep moving and don't crack. It's a battle, though, because of all the media attention and scrutiny.

You can only do what your players can execute ... what your players have time to comprehend and learn.
charlie comprehend defense dolphins execute miami players time
You can only do what your players can execute and have time to comprehend and learn, ... So for me to think we're going to do a lot of the things we're able to do with the Miami Dolphins defense is unrealistic. And it's the same thing Charlie is going through.
