al consistency guy head knew running sure year
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.

He's always answered the bell. When you come out of the locker room, he's always the guy that's standing out there before the team and making sure everybody touches everybody. And this is the first time he touched a guy when he wasn't in pads.

He wants to play. He just wants to make sure he's OK, and I can understand that. That's something you don't deal with lightly. I anticipate he'll be back. I'd say it's 50-50.

We're going to get a good football player. Last time I checked, I had a saying a couple of years ago that you play the game for one reason and one reason only. Right? That hasn't changed for me. You play to win.
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.
fast good guys hold job moving players supposed today took
We have to have a different mind-set - that was established today in our meetings, ... I think our players took hold of it and did a good job of practicing. It was a pretty fast practice, guys moving around where they were supposed to go.
coaches confidence corrected hate lose next ready
We have to go back and look at today, from the coaches down to the players, get things corrected and get ready for next week. It's one game. You hate to lose a game, but at some point, if you lose it, you lose it. What we have to do is get our confidence back.
