appear aptitude ball both good guys hang kicking kicks shown whatever
They've shown good aptitude kicking off; onside kicks, squib kicks; they can hang the ball high. Whatever kicks you want they can kick. Both of these guys are accomplished and they appear to me like they're NFL-ready.

ball beat expect intercept line month pay played week
We just played them a month ago. We beat them 10-3 and we had to intercept the ball on the 1-yard line to do it. If there's a letdown this week then we'll pay for it. I don't expect that to happen.

guys hopefully instant passing quickness running three
And with Travis Stephens, I think you see the instant quickness and acceleration he has. He's a completely different size. But those three guys are going to be a big part of the running game, and hopefully the passing game.
