control dressing efficient finish game happy joyous liked played second third
We were very efficient with our ones. I was happy with that. The game was under control in the first quarter. I would've liked to finish better. We played a lot with our second and third team. When they get an opportunity, they have to perform. They're one play away from being starters. It wasn't a real joyous dressing room.

confidence encouraged frank fun knees major playing reason unless year
I've really been encouraged with Frank and what he's done. He's having a lot of fun and playing with a lot of confidence. I really see more confidence in his knees now than I did a year ago. From what I've seen, unless there's a major setback, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't play.
