Byron made a good call. He told me to run a slant and go. Fortunately I ran a good enough route for him to make the easy throw.

I'm concerned that we're not putting up a lot of points. We need to step it up and make more plays.
offense
He's what makes this offense go. When he's back there, we're at another level.
knew matured poised team whatever
We knew it wasn't going to be easy. But we've become a second-half team this year. I don't necessarily like it that way -- we don't like to have to come back. But we have matured enough to be poised and do whatever we have to do to come away with a win.

When someone passes away like that, you tend to remember that person like a saint. He wasn't a saint. But he handled himself all the time like people around him were important to him all the time.

When you have passion on the court, good things are going to happen. We have tried to play this year without passion and we just can't do it.

We'll win games so we won't have the problem later this year. It's understandable.

I always hear it. I just liked the way it set up. They said Jimmy is losing a step that he can't do it anymore. It's been the story of my career. It's always been people saying I couldn't do it. I knew I could do it. You knew I could do it. There's always a handful of people.

I always had the facial hair so I looked older than I was.

We are dedicated to making our roads safer for everyone, that's why we've had this program for 19 years now.

ask backup best both guy identity issue remains strong
Our identity still remains the same; we've just got another guy at the helm. He's the quarterback. He has a strong arm. Our backup is a quarterback, too. He's mobile. We've got the best of both worlds, if you ask me. Quarterback isn't the issue for us right now.

He has found out by going up there, life is certainly different in the big city and in the business. He's found you have to have your guard up to be apart of it and still be who you want to be.
