full hitting speak
We'll be hitting the bricks, so to speak (Saturday), full speed.
complete easily flashes force guarantee last reckoned ronnie saw yards year
You saw flashes last year. Ronnie got a little banged up at the end of the year and would've easily had 1,000 yards as a rookie. He's really a complete back and I think he could play every down. That guy's going to be a force to be reckoned with for years, I guarantee you that.
against fire good hold might playing side time
You don't want to hold the time away against him, but on the same side you have to know there's going to be time for him to get back into playing shape. It might be a good thing for a guy, too. He might come back with a little more fire to do it.
ability add area became defensive exciting fit obvious particular player playing prior sign trying veteran weekend
This is an exciting sign for us. This particular player became available, fortunately for us, just prior to the weekend (in) a big need area for us. He's going to fit a big part of what we're trying to get done here, and add some veteran leadership, as well as his obvious playing ability on the defensive front.
candidates coach days fit five four next sure system three
So we're going to be interviewing two or three candidates in the next four or five days and make sure they fit the requirements we have to coach our system and our defense.
ability believe commitment effort football good higher needs nice people position saying start sure talks value
I think that we are in good position to start up the talks again. We are going to make a commitment to try to get it done. Where I'm sure that there are other people who are saying that it will sure be nice to have him, his value to this organization is much higher than just his ability as a football player, believe me. We are going to make the effort that needs to be made to try and get it done.
defense odd
He is going to be our three-technique. We are going to play a 4-3 defense and get in and out of some 3-4 odd looks.
baseball car catch flew literally phone sat stands talking weekend
I flew back for a weekend so I could catch at least one of my son's baseball tournaments this year. But the whole time, I was on the phone talking to coaches. I literally sat in the stands or in my car ... and was on the phone.
concern fluke
It was a fluke deal. It wasn't anything that's a concern for us now; it was just a bad-luck injury.
exciting next players proven ready recent run throw
If you're getting ready to play Vince Young, you know you've got a two-headed monster. He's proven to me that he can throw it, as well as be able to run around and make plays. He's one of the most exciting players to come out in recent memory. He hasn't really even tapped into some of the things I think he's going to be able to do at the next level.
coach extension four games guys prepare takes whatever
He started 64 games there during four years. He's one of those guys that doesn't come off the field. He will do whatever it takes to prepare for a game. He's like an extension of the coach out on the field.
carries good hall left might
He still has some good 'juice' left in him in my opinion. So you might as well use him. Don't let him take any (unused) carries with him to the Hall of Fame.
good left life love meetings
I'd love to have him as long as we can keep him. Some of those things are out of your control. In this case, I don't think that's the case. He's still got some life left in him. And we've had very good meetings with him.
along excited optimistic worked
I'm excited that we have worked out a deal. I'd been optimistic all along that we would be able to get this done.
