drives gets guy market sets tone
The market kind of drives it. Then when one guy gets it, it kind of sets the tone for the rest.
coming defensive eight fourth gives key line martin stay
The line is coming along. Orion Martin gives us a fourth defensive end, and we really like him. I think that's a key for us. If we've got eight (defensive linemen) and can rotate four at a time, and stay fresh, we can get after it.
empty hard rather seats stadium time
I'd much rather play in a stadium that's jumping, that's moving. If you've got a lot of empty seats and no one's moving, I find that's when you have a hard time playing.

I didn't think I was going to accept the job when I went there to visit. I had no idea I was going to like it.
bit great half three time unsure
It's the first time through for him, and he's a little bit unsure of some things, and I think you can see that a little bit on video. When we recruited him, I thought he was going to be a great player, and now that we've had him for three weeks, three and a half weeks, I know he's going to be a great player.
guy house
He's the calmest guy in the house and I think it showed today.

I hope Marcus is going to like it Sunday night. This is one you better be ready to play, you're going to have a defense chasing you. He better be ready to go.
far good guy leader mark sideline
He's very much in control. He's the calmest guy on our sideline as far as I can tell, and that's the mark of a good quarterback and a good leader for your offense. He's always got it under control.
