came coming deal easier knew move soon
I knew it was coming tomorrow. But it came earlier. As soon as you know what's happening, it's easier to deal with. Then you can move ahead.
came effort few hard missed played time
I thought they played very hard and were executing. We had very few missed tackles, which is very big this time of year. We made some plays, came up with some takeaways. You can see the effort was just tremendous.
against guys telling ten
I keep telling him, 'This isn't the Big Ten anymore. You're going to go up against some guys who are hungry.
behind coming guys mix older perfect starting
I like the mix that we have. You always try to get the perfect thing. You don't want too many guys too old. If you do have an older player, you want to have a young guy behind him coming up. I thought we were starting to get to that.
assuming bit present quite
I've got to go in and present myself to ownership. I know they know quite a bit about me, but I have to go in like they don't know me. I'm not assuming anything.

Another door closed. I don't know if there's anything out there. I'll just keep looking, and maybe something will show up.

There's no pressure when you have a lot of good players like I do now. Pressure was last year when we didn't have enough talent in order to compete.

Oh, gosh, here we go again. You lose one of your starting players ? that's a big blow to us, because he was also playing very well.
coming consistency gotten injuries last level seven six
I feel we could have gotten this thing going earlier. I thought we had it going if we didn't have those injuries that kind of set us back. Finally, we got a consistency level here in the last six or seven games. Coming out of camp, I thought we were there, but we weren't.
case gave grateful opportunity present
They made their decision. But I'm not disappointed. I tell you what, I was just grateful they gave me an opportunity to present my case to them.
days hot missed singing store waiting
They've been waiting for this guy. They're going to get after him good. He'll be singing after every meal. I know they've got something in store for him. There's been some pretty hot days out there. He's missed some of them, and they're going to let him know it.
talk
We're not going to talk about that. It's been streamlined already.
guess
I guess they just wanted to go in a different direction.
bad good stop tremendous trying
He's an unbelievable talent. I don't think he realizes how good he can be. He has tremendous explosiveness, strength, and he's a good athlete. That's a bad combination for someone trying to stop him.
