bit certainly emotion ended five game good holds involved meaning special tough
Obviously, this game holds special meaning for me. I had five good years there and I'm very appreciative of everything that they did for me when I was there. At the same time, obviously, it was tough the way it ended and there's certainly a little bit more emotion involved in this game for me than any other game.

couple reality games
I look back at a couple of games we lost that we shouldn't have lost that could have made a difference. But this is the reality. There have been a myriad of things that have led to our record. I take my share of the blame. We've had a lot of penalties and inconsistent execution on offense that has led to this record.

Randy had single coverage on the outside, and we know we aren't going to see that often with Randy. It's going to be a lot of fun playing with him.
