backs blocking call catch defensive ends football happen means pass picking running stress talk team until whatever zone
That's the first thing we talk about as receivers on this football team: You're not going to catch a pass until you get a block. That's something we stress each and every day. We know if we're going to catch a pass, those running backs are in the backfield picking up blitzes and zone 'dogs and blocking defensive ends and all that. For us, it's a team thing. We don't play receiver; we play football, whatever that means. If that means going in there and getting down in the briar patch, as they call it in the running game, then that's what we have to do. If we so happen to catch a pass, so be it.

I've never been in a game where we had that much field position and found a way to blow it, so that's real hard for me as one of the offensive captains is for us to not take advantage of those opportunities,

I don't think that's something the governor makes decisions about. I'm going to let local government decide whether a dog gets to go in. I hope they do.

It was a prioritization that said tax cuts are the central need of government. It didn't talk about how we need to invest in schools.

bad error good margin meant news poll saw time
The first time I saw a poll in this election, they had me at 4 percent. That's the good news. The bad news was that the margin of error was 5 percent. I'd like to think that meant I was at 9 percent.
