face field guys handling kids respond shut talk
We talk about handling adversity. Things aren't going to always go your way. We have to face it and respond to it. You can shut down, but that's not what these guys do. They want to win. The kids get out on the field and think they're going to win.
break bruised despise gives god loose people sit
Here God gives his people some taste, that they may not faint; and he gives them but a taste, that they may long to be at home, that they may keep humble, that they may sit loose from things below, that they may not break and despise bruised reeds, a
defend glad kerry
Kendall is just dangerous. I'm glad he's on my team. With the combination of Kendall and Kerry back there, I don't know if I'd want to defend that.
chance district found game good team
I always found out you're only as good as the backups on your team - they're only a play away from starting. Any chance we can get them in, we are. We don't want district to be the first time. That way, they'll be used to the game and feel more comfortable.
ability athletic charisma guys hard player respect type work
He has the charisma a quarterback should have. The other guys respect him for his hard work and athletic ability, and for the type of player he is.
spring past men
The purpose of God is the sovereign cause of all that good that is in man, and of all that external, internal and eternal good that comes to man. Not works past, for men are chosen from everlasting; not works present, for Jacob was loved and chosen before he was born; nor works foreseen, for men were all corrupt in Adam. All a believer's present happiness, and all his future happiness springs from the eternal purpose of God.
stupid heart dumb
God hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf.
biggest handle kerry offensive skill spending time
We have so many skill guys. If you don't get a handle on Kerry or Kendall that can be a problem. And we have so many receivers and that's been the biggest surprise. Our thing is working with the offensive line. We've been spending a lot time with them.
holding whatever
You have some more things you do in district. Whatever we need to get done, we're going to do it. There's no sense in holding back.
guys lost whatever
To go 2-0 would be tremendous. We lost those two (Kendall and Teddy), but these guys will persevere. They'll do whatever it takes.
ball strength wide
We'll try and get our wide receivers the ball more. They're the strength now.
came five football good last minutes
We just came out in that last five minutes and started playing. But we have to have that the whole game. When we do that, we're a very good football team. When we don't, we're average.
defense line normal thinking
It was very emotional. (Even) at that moment, he's thinking about the team. We told the defense to keep them down there. They were on the one-foot line and they couldn't get their normal distance. We went for the block.
came defense guys might rest scoring second sure talked
After the second score, the defense came over and said, 'Coach, they're not scoring again,' ... And sure enough, they didn't. Our guys did a lot of gang-tackling. You might make one or two miss, but the rest of them are coming. And that's the thing we talked about - pursuit.
