definitely fits given last several talented
They have definitely given us fits over the last several years, ... They are very talented again.
careers college good great grown guys nfl playing position scheme
They have a good scheme and the guys have grown up in it. They have great athletes. At every position they have guys that will be playing in the NFL when their college careers are done.
case hoping next panic player trying veteran
They don't overanalyze everything like a veteran player can do. They're just trying to get through that day and the next play and that was the case a lot of times this year. They didn't panic because they didn't know any better. I'm hoping they keep that attitude.
fighter flew jets stadium
They flew those fighter jets over the stadium and before they'd landed, we were down 10-0. It was ugly.
beat chance cheap good mentally missed mistakes
You can't make missed assignments and give them cheap ones. They're good enough to beat you without you making mistakes; you can't make mistakes mentally and have a chance to do it.
believed expected folks games guys locker room win
There weren't a lot of folks that expected us to win 10 games this year. I think the guys in that locker room believed that they could do it, and they did.
break full half practiced standing
There's about half of you that have never practiced with us. Everything up to the break is full speed. I don't want you standing around.
couple fits given last opponent
It's an opponent that's given us some fits over the last couple years.
deal
It's the real deal with them. You can play as well as you can and still not win.
basketball coach final goal nice saying win
It's like a basketball coach saying he's been to the Final Four. It's nice to have that recognition, but our goal is to be there more than once, and win it.
confidence gives guys hard playing
They're playing with a lot of confidence. They're playing fast, too. If your guys play hard and play fast, that gives you a chance, and that's what they're doing.
looking opinion
They're better now than they were two years ago in my opinion after looking at film.
giving good guys pressure run strong understand
They're doing pretty good. I'd like to get more pressure on the quarterback at times. But those guys are giving pretty good effort. I like the way they work. I think they are all guys that are very strong and can run and can understand what we want out of their schemes.
ability ball deep throw
They have some other players. With D.J. Shockley's ability to throw the ball down the field, I think they'll still take some deep shots.
