fire open riding strive
We're riding them hard, but I think they're competitors and fighters, and they'll strive to do better, ... I'm not going to fire them and open up a new can of tackles. Because we haven't got a new can of tackles.
fifteen help legal matter yards
Most of the (blocks) are legal. (But) it doesn't matter if they're legal or not. Fifteen yards isn't going to help Zach West's knee.
attacking ball bell catching ferguson great help lee returns
I think Ferguson is going to have a great year. He is actually catching the ball better on punt returns than I've seen. He's squaring the ball better, attacking the ball better. Making better catches. We know what Johnnie Lee Higgins can do. Dustin Bell will help us in that area. And Marcus Thomas, if we have to have him back there on kickoff returns, we will.
calm sore throw
We're not going to have him throw for about a week. It's sore right now. We're not going to do anything about it right now. We'll let it calm down a little bit.
battle half legal vindicated won
We have won every legal battle at every corner. We think we have vindicated his name. Two and a half years ago we said we would, and we think we have.
against missed played plays seven
We were going to play him 20 plays (Friday against Houston), but we played him 50 plays and he never missed a tackle. He made seven tackles.
football great promote
It's great having them here. The more, the merrier, really. We're doing everything we can do to promote football.
believed maybe point puts
They just haven't really believed enough, after a big win. Maybe at some point tonight, we started believing. Maybe this is the one that puts us over.
excited gained pounds progress weight
I'm excited about the progress he has made. He has put on a lot of weight and gained strength. He's up 20 pounds (from two years ago).
acted guys maybe running
It was OK. We made some big plays. But they acted a little tired. Maybe they didn't use the three-day weekend. I think, right now, it's push-comes-to-shove-time. So let's get it going. The guys need to make this important, because we're running out of time.
counter easily offense plays screen three total yards
Ebell would have easily had 150 yards total offense (if not) for two or three plays called back for penalties. The screen play he ran, the counter he ran. Those were called back. Those plays were probably another 60 yards he didn't get.
anytime ask dealing intent letter start until walk
Anytime you're dealing with transfers, there is no letter of intent. Until they walk on and start playing, they can go anyplace. There is no letter of intent or agreement. You'd have to ask him where (they) want to go.
kids pride
The kids take pride in it. It's kind of cool.
both centers good practice quite
It's day-to-day. I thought it was Felix for a day, then yesterday, Felix didn't practice very well. I think we have two pretty good centers and they'll both play quite a bit.
