answered asked honestly league meeting questions
I answered all the questions that the league asked me honestly in the meeting on Tuesday,
asked front opportunity program shown wrong
If it was a concern, I wouldn't have shown up. What's wrong with a little competition? All I asked for was an opportunity to put myself and my program in front of them.
ask bad excited might people saying situation
We're pretty excited about that, ... The situation is not as bad as some people might be saying it is. If we ask for something, we get it.
ask ball certainly himself learn mix needs pass protect runs
He runs the ball hard. He's getting better. ... Like any young back, he needs to learn how to pass protect better. But certainly he has put himself in the mix and that's all you can ask from these young players.
asking calls knew meeting mind moss people phones ringing three value
The story got in the paper, then it got on the web, then it went worldwide. Then our phones started ringing and people started asking about Moss so we had a meeting and said, 'Since these calls are coming, what is the value of Moss?' We said it was three No. 1s because we knew no one in his right mind would ever give up three No. 1s.

factions guys happy might
There are going to be factions in the building, ... There are guys that want Mooch to be there, and there are guys that might be happy he is gone.
balance defense number players progress searching trying work
The players right now, like the coaches, are searching for an identity, ... With new players on defense, they are trying to find a balance of what we want to do and what the players do best. I think that is still, unfortunately, a work in progress and will be for a number of weeks.
averaged block free great guy man run
This young man averaged 1.87 (seconds) get-off in the game. Virtually, you could have a guy run free and he can't block the kick. So that's the great thing.
cut depth fair falling possibly
With all the young guys, D'Wayne was falling on the depth chart. It was not fair to keep him and then possibly cut him down the line.
anybody good
We're going to be as good as anybody offensively, ... Our quarterback is in a zone.
best brought pick since
best young lineman we've brought in since Birk (sixth-round pick in 1998).
offensive side work
Atrocious, ... We were out of rhythm, so we have a lot of work to do on the offensive side of the ball. A lot of work to do.
ball best foot football moved ourselves playing shot
We moved the ball well all preseason, but we've shot ourselves in the foot too. We're not playing our best football right now, and I don't want us to play our best right now.
