charlie division highly kids last liked
It's a very highly competitive division and is only going to get better because these kids are so young. We liked Charlie Frye when we did the evaluations on him last year.
age age-and-aging available caliber came contracts design expired group guys marquee point reached together unusual
It's probably just one group of guys came of age together where their contracts expired or reached a point where they were all available at the same time. It's a little unusual to have that many marquee guys available. I don't think it was any design or plan. It's unusual to have that caliber available right now.
five last minutes
There was so much in that last five minutes that I think it strengthened us as a team.
amazing bowling improvement kid statistics
This kid put up some amazing statistics in productivity at Bowling Green. We still think he has some improvement that can really come upon him at the pro level.
approach best challenge change guess team together
That really doesn't change anything. I guess it's different in that our challenge now is to keep this team together as best we can. So it's different from that standpoint. But our approach and preparation is the same.
late middle rounds spend standpoint time
We are going to spend as much time on the middle and late rounds as we do on the first-round guys. From our standpoint there is really not a lot of difference.
champion game helped move players sign win
We're not going to sign everyone. We may have to move on without some of the players who helped us win a championship. That's the way the game is today.

Inside linebacker is probably the strongest group I've seen in the 20 years I've been doing this. It's strong at the top, strong in the middle, and there are some kids on the second day that will be contributors, if not starters.
benefits both continue everybody hope sees sides success
I just hope that everybody sees the benefits on both sides to continue the success of this league.
advantage anybody attention crazy evasive information league pay reason saying teams thinking throughout time tip trick year
I don't really pay attention to what other teams are saying publicly. I don't know how much you really can say. There's no reason to tip your hand. You put that much time into it, it's kind of crazy to kind of just give the information away. Much like ourselves, everybody's evasive at this point. There's no advantage to doing that. You're not going to trick anybody into thinking you're going to do something. ... You have a lot of friends throughout the league but at this time of year you don't really have too many friends.
bowl certainly definitely enhances himself interest keeping level super time win
I don't know if he's priced himself out. We don't know the interest level out there. Certainly we have an interest in keeping him, and we definitely want to keep him. I think any time you win a Super Bowl it enhances your value, sometimes artificially, too.
caught contract guys minimum situation tear
We're not in a situation where we have to tear it up. When you look at our team, we have a lot of guys under contract for a minimum of two years. We're kind of caught up right now.
enjoy game today
We'll enjoy this today and tomorrow. But we still have one more game to win.
finding guys home room
Those guys are finding that they're more at home being back in that room and back where they were.
