beat excuse excuses stand
D.C. was the better team. There's no way I'm going to stand up here and make excuses when we got beat 4-1.
bit decent eddie felt needed worked
I thought Eddie worked very hard. I was encouraging him to go one-on-one, which I felt he needed to do a little bit more of. He had a decent first half.
It is going to be different in D.C..
call course field four guy knowing somebody sure
Knowing the guy for four years, it's not his make up. Does he do other things on the field? Of course he does. Will he lash out and call somebody something racial? That I'm sure he wouldn't do.
ball defend field guys halftime wanting
I was wanting more from Amado Guevara tonight. I told him at halftime there are times we have to defend with the 10 guys who are on that field and at times he doesn't do that. When you look at it, you want Amado Guevara on the ball a lot more than what he did tonight.
normally second sent worried
He said he was sorry. End of story. I'm not worried about that. He buckled down in the second half. Normally in the past, he would be sent off.
brings creating guys looking media mix numbers obviously scoring teammates
His numbers are the same and obviously that's what you guys in the media are looking at. But it's what he brings to his teammates that's most important. He's always in the mix and he's always making, creating and scoring some goals.
solid training
He's been very solid in the preseason and training and everything that he's done.
doubt eyes mark needs pace recovery rookie running tremendous year
He's had a tremendous camp. His pace is unbelievable and his recovery is tremendous. There's no doubt in my eyes that you're going to see a Rookie of the Year come the end of the season. There's no one running by him and he just needs to get better in his positioning. Mark my words, he's going to be Rookie of the Year come the end of the season.
fast next problems strong teams
He's physical, he's strong and he's fast and with Edson next to him we could give teams real problems.
fit great kid player potential talented
He fit right in. He is a very talented kid who has the potential to be a great player in this league.
pleased
We're pleased but disappointed. We can get better.
bit eye future good johnny shown spend time
So far, Johnny X has shown a bit more than most. He's one for the future. He's one that you look at and spend some time on. He's a threat. He has good pace. He's got an eye for the goal.
I just see different things for my team. He's done well but I don't see him in my plans.
