defense good nose
Our defense is only as good as the nose plays. If the nose doesn't play any good, the defense isn't any good.
conversation great guy
I don't know the guy and I don't think I've ever had a conversation with him. But I know he's a great coach. The film is his resume. He has a great resume.
injuries learn time waste worrying
One thing you learn in football, you waste your time worrying about injuries because they're going to come.
complaints-and-complaining
No griping. No complaining. No one asking, 'Why me?'
hard hours minimum mouse pick prospects tried
Mouse tried to pick up my bag, but he had a hard time, it was so heavy. He said, 'I know what's in there. Film.' I probably do a minimum of 4 hours of film every day. I look at prospects for 2007 every day.
bad days feels game giving hopefully run three wakes
We're giving him three days off, and hopefully on game day he wakes up and just feels better. On the film, he was limping real bad and was not able to run like he can.
fast
It's fast for everybody. It'll be a fast game.
bothered year
The year never bothered us. Sometimes if you're a senior, all your experiences have been bad. You're better off having no experience.
asking atlanta beach change chicago cities dallas fly guy houston kid planes player recruit recruiting stop three virginia
You don't want to recruit a guy who has to change two, three planes to get here. You can get on a plane in Chicago and get here (directly). You can be in Dallas or Houston and fly right here. That's a different recruiting than asking a player from Pennsylvania. He has to stop in Chicago and change planes. You don't recruit Pennsylvania. You don't recruit to Tidewater Beach because the kid from Virginia has to fly to Atlanta first. But the kid from Atlanta can fly non-stop. I look for cities where it's a non-stop flight.
asking christ deciding god help jesus knew mental mentally players prayed row win
I told them, 'Why not do 20 of these in a row today?' ... It was the players deciding to do it without mental errors. I prayed to Jesus Christ to try to let them play mentally like they practiced. If I had any help at all, it was asking God not to win (or) not to play good, but let the players play like I knew they could play mentally.
athletes coached good playing total
They're just the total package. They have good athletes at all 11 positions, they're well coached and they've been playing together.
advantage crowd guy shifting thinks
They're shifting to get an advantage on you. Their shift is not gingerbread for the crowd. They're not shifting so the crowd thinks they're cerebral. They shift a guy to one side, and if you don't have him covered, they'll get him the ball.
blocking good job line offensive
That quarterback, No. 11, he can play some yard-ball. And the offensive line does a good job of sorting things out and blocking things.
against alabama compete exactly good mental
We let them know we're working on Alabama's stuff, and they know they have to do things exactly right. We can't compete against Alabama if we make mental errors. They have too good athletes.
