biggest call guys took understand
We took a look at all 16 (penalties). The biggest thing is that guys understand what (officials are) going to call and what they aren't going to call ... and if it's going to be called, you just can't do it.
took
We took a look at all 16 of them,
anyone doctors excited forever player ready
When he's cleared, I'll be as excited as anyone to have him out there and going. We've all been through it forever now when a player says, 'I'm ready to go' and the doctors say he's not ready to go. I think Doug is getting close.
ball calling confidence great kerry playing plays works
calling plays that Kerry likes. And when you like the plays, it just works out a lot better. Kerry is playing great ball right now and he has a lot of confidence in himself.

I just think that we've been extremely pleased with Randy as a person and a player. He has a great work ethic. He obviously has great ability. He's come in here and tried to help this team in every way that he can.
danny spoke
I just think that Danny spoke for everyone.

If one guy makes five penalties, it's easy. You make the switch tomorrow,
blitz couple coverage early found good hit hot played plays turned
They hit a couple of those plays early when we were in blitz coverage and we turned it back up and played zone. They're good at what they do. They found seams and Plummer, obviously, was very hot in the first half.
anyone obviously prepare quite run seems steady time
They've had a long time to prepare for this game. We'll get a look they haven't shown. One of the things that seems to steady anyone down is obviously if you can run the football. If you can run the football, you don't see quite as many looks.
hurt rank
I don't rank them, ... They all hurt.
blocking executing fool fools-and-foolishness guys route run running tackling throwing wrinkles
I don't know if you ever fool anyone, but you give them different wrinkles and you give them things that may look like something you've run before and you actually run something different out of it, ... It still comes down to executing and going out and blocking and tackling and running a route and throwing and guys making plays.
certainly defense
certainly was not by design. Sometimes it's what the defense is doing. ... We want to get him the ball.
bit either feels game preparing ran ready
He ran a little bit today, ... He feels a little bit better. We'll see where he is tomorrow. If Randy's not ready to play, he's not ready to play. We're preparing to play the game either way right now.
ball great hard looked pulled
He's very good. He's very athletic, very aggressive, has great instincts. We looked at him hard in evaluating the draft, and he's a playmaker. He has a way of getting to the ball (and) getting the ball pulled out. He's going to be an outstanding player.
