What I like is that early in the season we have a difficult schedule, and that has not been the case the last few years. That allows the fans to get involved early, and it's a great motivating factor for our team.
army guarantee guy physical russian talk
What I like about him is that he's talented, he's physical and the guy is not intimidated by anything. You talk about the deer-in-the-headlights look. I can guarantee you, if the Russian Army comes over here, he won't have the deer-in-the-headlights look.
