continue hard improve success
Just that success only comes one way -- that's through hard work. Just continue to try to improve on getting better and it'll happen.
We weren't there to have conversations with him.
game gives knowing number prepare
Everything is structured. He gives you a number of things to prepare for the week. You go to the game knowing what to expect.
suburb
I'm a Massachusetts, suburb kid. I didn't put much thought into it.
cautious
I thought they were going to let me go today, but they are being cautious right now.
bunch scrappy
I think we are a scrappy bunch. We are a bunch of fighters.
lucky
Man! ... I'm lucky he didn't see me.
until
I won't even think about it until I get there.
ability anyone best bunch care coming scrappy team
I don't think anyone relishes being unknown. I think we're a scrappy bunch. We're a bunch of fighters. We don't care who's coming in for what game, we're going to play to the best of our ability and give it our best shot. We play for each other and just play team ball.
remember
What do I remember about that play? That it was long.
both feet good hopefully inches scary wake
He's 6-3. I'm hopefully 6 feet on a good day, when I just wake up. I tell him, 'Why don't you just give me two inches of height, we'd both be right there at 6-1.' If he was, it would be scary to see, the way he hits.
hitting merits people
He's doing enough (intimidating), hitting people the way he does. It's not appropriate. I don't know what was going on or what was said, but I don't think anything merits that.
game guy helluva practice snaps somebody taking
He was a helluva an athlete, ... If that's somebody they have on their practice squad, then you know the guy taking snaps in the game is the real deal.
somebody worry
He is somebody you really have to worry about and you have to know where he is at all times.
