care greatest hanging matter needs potential running taking tight urgent
I think we're doing well, and really well where the need is the greatest and that's the OL. We're hanging in there at tight end and we need a running back. Receivers haven't been a priority, but there is potential out there for us. I think the most urgent needs - we're taking care of them and now it's just a matter of hanging on to them at this point.
game hit matter past played
A lot more of them should have played in this past game because they could have been just as effective. But it didn't matter because we couldn't hit targets, so it didn't matter who was in out there.
handle ready sad
You better be thick-skinned to be in this profession. And you better be ready to handle it when it comes. It's sad that that's the way it is, but that's the way it is.
kids penalties
We had some penalties from kids being over-aggressive.
bother close family far willing
We have a close family. If you are willing to put up with that - which so far I have been - (the criticism) won't bother you.
game help

Somebody is going to win. This is going to be the ultimate experience right off the bat for them.

I think he's physically everything he was built up to be but the missed assignments are really costing him. He's capable of learning. When he gets his assignments down, he's really going to be able to help us.
bit instead picking
I still think he's picking a little bit up there instead of slashing.
ball focus helped knew run running spring surely wish
I still wish we had run the ball better. That surely would have helped us. But we knew that was one of their strengths. (The running game) will probably be the No.1 focus in spring ball.
became beginning fill fortunate lost nervous player priority ready receiver rod thinking
Receiver was not a priority in the beginning and it became one. We were very fortunate to fill some holes. I was really getting nervous at the end as I lost the player and got to thinking that Rod Owens may not be ready to play.
improve quickness
Mat drills can improve their quickness so much. It also (addresses) intensity. Boatman never had anything like mat drills before. We like his intensity.
deep family kid mean
I think deep down it does mean a lot. I know it does for everyone around him. It's something every kid in our family would like to see happen, just like in Joe's family.
worth
If it wasn't worth it, I wouldn't be here.
