It was crisp for the most part. They made very good decisions. This team practices well. They kind of come to work.
It was a sad thing what happened to Kenny. The good part is that he has healed up. What his football future is, I can't tell you right now. I'm somewhat optimistic about it. He will be there with us Sunday. He has had an emotional impact on this football team before he was hurt and certainly after the injury. My hope and prayer is that he will be able to continue playing football next year.
It usually to takes three or four years to really look back on a draft.
That happens on occasion. You'll get a team signing somebody that skews, that's like Alex Rodriguez signing with Texas.
It's an all-day sucker. You have to think about him all the time. You can't relax.
It's a move that he's handled very well. He's a good enough player to do that.
It's a clear example of ... when the fire is burning a little brighter for one team.
I told him to come on over Friday for lunch and see the guys, ... They like to see him too.
I told him sometime in the season we were going to be in the exact situation, and he was going to make it. And he did.
I told Matt at halftime that he had to shoulder the load. We always put a lot on his shoulders, but I told him that now he had to do a little bit more.
I tried everything. I tried being nice. I tried kicking them in the rear end. ... Hopefully, I learned from that game.
It really is a team in the truest sense of the word. The sum of the parts is greater than the individual parts. This team is fairly unknown to most of the country.
I tried to get more yards, ... I'd like to have gotten closer.
It's a great story. He has come in this year and done a marvelous job. He is one of 18 children. He has had to battle for his place his whole life. He appreciates everything. He works hard for everything. He doesn't expect anything to be given to him, and I can't say enough about the young guy. Do we miss Ken Hamlin? Certainly we do. But Marquand Manuel has been better than good this season.
