ability athletic felt good great guy knew liked player three watched
When we first watched him in college, we knew he was an athletic guy who could make plays. We liked his ability to play in space. We always felt that that he was getting better and better, so we liked him from the beginning. (He's) become a pretty great player for us, a good sub guy that really can play all three (linebacker) positions.
coming far grabbed knew throw tried
I said we're going to put Brooksy in, ... He grabbed me and said: 'No, I can still be O.K. I'm all right.' I said, 'O.K.' I kind of knew where he was coming from. He couldn't throw it very far but he could throw it. He could do some things that we tried to do.
al consistency guy head knew running sure year
We talked. But I knew Al was the kind of guy who every year is going to be in the running to be a head coach. He's a guy who's primed to be a head coach. He's always going to be a candidate. You want to make sure you have some kind of consistency with your offense.

I don't know if we have to see a whole lot. We knew what we were getting when we got him. We brought him in for a reason and he got hurt. He's been gone quite some time, so it's good to get him back. He's excited about coming back.

If he knew it was sore, ... it didn't affect his running. He just woke (yesterday) and it felt sore.

The first week, he practiced five days in a row, then we gave him a day off. This week was a little different ? one-a-days, now this. He knew it was coming. He knew it was going to be different. We're progressing him, watching him to see where he's at.
figure protect
We have to figure out how to protect these guys.
again ball defense five send turned turning
We turned the ball over five times. That's one (reason). Two, I wasn't going to put that quarterback in harm's way any longer. Three, I wasn't going to send out our defense again by turning the ball over. That's my decision. That's what you do for your team.
came deal excited monday remember special
When it first got started it was really the thing to be on if you were a player. I can remember when I first came in; you were excited about Monday night. It was a special deal and I think it still is.
ball behind close game good played ran running runs sign
We got our running game going a little bit, so that's a good sign for us. We ran the ball pretty good. Curtis had a really good day. He made some big runs for us, but we got behind and played that way. We could never close the gap.
