accomplish both case defense ethic free helps himself intensity kyle last next parties pleased season several work worked
We're very pleased to have Kyle here for the next several years. Last season he exemplified himself as an important part of our defense through his work ethic and intensity on and off the field.

learning occasions rightly several step understand wrongly
I think rightly or wrongly from my standpoint, you like to see someone who has been through it. When you get through the postseason, it's a different world.

But after six games this year, he's off the charts, and yet there's nothing to make you say this is as good as he's going to get or he'll never be better.

cap contracts effect exactly goodness last money scary situation sure thank trying year
Thank goodness we're not where we were last year or the year before. Because it has to be a very, very scary situation to be way over the cap right now and trying to redo contracts and get your money right, and yet you're not exactly sure what effect the CBA is going to have on it.
