That's definitely one of the reasons I came back. Anybody who's ever been here for a length of time ends up loving the place. It's just a neat place to coach.

ball exactly less nine protect run second seven
Offensively, you can't give up seven sacks. You can't have nine (sic) tackles for loss. You've got to protect your quarterback better. You've got to run the ball better than minus-4 yards. You've got to be less predictable on second down. They are well-coached on defense. They got after us and they did exactly what you should do.
