contact good guy happens knew player work
We knew we had a pretty good player but, to be honest, I didn't think he was that good. When you just work a guy out, you could see that he makes contact but you can't see what happens in a game.
above care conference five given guys looked ourselves split
I told these guys that I don't care if they looked better than us for 4-1/2 out of the five hours. We got a split. We've given ourselves a 10-game above .500 conference cushion, and we can split sometimes.
anybody dash fast faster guy home maybe
He's one of our better runners, but on a 60-yard dash he's maybe only the seventh- or eighth-fastest guy on the team. But home to first, he's as fast or faster than anybody because of his style.

advantage goal hunt none second third
We're in the hunt for first place. None of that is over. Our No. 1 goal is to make the playoffs. Our second goal is to get home-field advantage ... and our third goal is if we can take first, great.
