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.

certain chance choose gives guy happen hopefully job plans pressed primarily return service somebody throughout trust week worked
(Jones) has done primarily punt returns, but if pressed into service we'll trust that he'll do the job if he's the guy we choose to go with. He (Pittman) has worked on that throughout his career.

We'll work on our contigency plan throughout this week and we'll find somebody who gives us a chance to hopefully return one for a touchdown.
