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.
ball course determined developing earlier five football intention less mine minutes philip philosophy players six until win
Philip is on course and is a developing player. I think I've indicated to you before there can be opportunities, and we had one earlier this season, that it was my intention to get him in with five or six minutes to go but we never got the ball back until it was considerably less than that. Regular-season football is different than preseason football. It's been a philosophy of mine that you play your players until you have determined that the win is secured.
allen anywhere corner impressed near physical player plays tattoo
I was impressed with their corners. Will Allen in particular, plays corner like a safety. He's a physical player and he will tattoo you if you get anywhere near him.
case complete football good player talk
I think you could make a case that he is as good of a player as there is in football today. And I say that without any reservation. You talk about a complete player that can do everything.
anyone guys heart player special
He is a very special player and a very special person. He has as big a heart as anyone around. With guys like that, you really don't need much coaching.
entire needs player stay throughout
If a player is on the sideline, he needs to stay there throughout the entire game.
combine player
That's the kind of a player he (was). And when you combine that with his competitiveness and his skill, there's no doubt.
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.
counting enjoying
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.
