albeit game gets himself opportunity player prepare sure unilateral
You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. You need to make sure that each player gets an opportunity to prepare himself for the game tempo, albeit (in) preseason. So you end up making arbitrary, unilateral decisions.
exactly good opportunity team
It's always good to have an opportunity to play a real good team and see exactly how good you are.
against compete opportunity special
When we get the opportunity to compete against each other, there's something special in that.
available cast forward giving good guy himself last looking matter opportunity preparing spent supporting time
He's spent the last two years preparing himself for this opportunity available to him now. He spent his time well, and we're looking forward to getting started. It's just a matter of giving a young guy an opportunity. You have to have a good supporting cast around him, and we do.
diligent issue line offensive opportunity quick quite skill spent time tremendous work
He's got a tremendous opportunity and quite a challenge. But work has never been an issue for him. . . . He's been a diligent worker. He's been a quick study. He's spent a lot of time with the offensive line as well as the skill people.
forward move opportunity terrific
(He) has a terrific opportunity to move upward and forward in our business.
extremely fact given number opportunity played pleasantly prior start
I thought he played extremely well. He's very, very competitive. He's bright. Given the fact he went through a number of circumstances prior to getting the opportunity to come in and start and play, I was pleasantly surprised.
attempt decision man question sure tough ultimate
I know the young man, and he's tough kid, a tough-minded person. So, you know, I'm sure the ultimate decision will be if he can make it significantly worse. I don't have any question he'll make every attempt to play, because he is a tough kid.
best continues decision drew stand ultimate
I know where I stand on it. If Drew continues to play well, and we continue to be successful, I don't know how you can do anything but keep him. The ultimate decision must be made on who's the best player.
approach best game
The best way I could characterize it is we will approach it like it's the first game of the year.
affect again proved time
They've proved time and again it doesn't affect them.

I'm not counting them anymore, but I am enjoying them.
city kansas played
I have no idea. We played them a lot. I was in Kansas City for a long time. Played them some in Cleveland.
good
It was not a good enough job. The numbers, 9-7, to me are not acceptable. You need to do better than that.
