anticipate coming defense guys key playing possibly sign strongly
I strongly anticipate some of the guys we sign coming in and possibly playing some key roles, especially on defense the way we did this year.
against coaching competition field freshmen good guys treated
From a coaching perspective, when those guys are on the field -- against good competition -- there are going to be some errors. But I don't think these freshmen want to be treated as freshmen anymore.
good guys move sitting somewhere
I don't want one of our really good ones sitting down. If he is better than one of those guys somewhere else, than we will move him over there.
anticipate box difficulty guys line running
I didn't anticipate having that much difficulty running it. They put more guys in the box (at the line of scrimmage).
age age-and-aging choices decisions good guys humble man mature mother receive takes taught
It takes a very mature young man (to do what he did). He's made good decisions for his age, choices guys his age don't usually make. He's a very humble person and he's been taught well by his mother about how to receive praise.
guys playing possible simply
It will simply be different preparation for the guys playing more because of possible suspensions,
battling best guys position quality since six
We've six guys battling for two spots. We're in the best position to find two quality guys since I've been here.
angle catching chance gets guys safety second seeing speed took turn wrong
When he gets to the second level, there is no catching him from behind, at least not on this team. If you don't turn those guys and let them catch it in stride, they have a better chance to make big plays. The safety wasn't used to seeing that kind of speed and took the wrong angle on it, and (Ford) was gone.
close coach coaching excitement four games guys improvement perspective
A coach doesn't get giddy. The excitement from a coaching perspective is if we can get those guys to make improvement. And it's not like a lot of improvement because we were close in the four games we lost. We can get better.
guys list short
He would be on our short list of guys that would not be. He's on the play list.
accelerate change guy guys line run straight track wiggle
He is not a track guy. He is not a straight line guy. He has some wiggle to him. He isn't a track guy were you say just go deep. He can run reverses, make guys miss, accelerate and change direction.
battling guys
It's really not open. Those guys are battling for No.2.
again
We showed once again that we would not quit.
advantage airport bad cities commercial create definitely equality flights great larger planes private rule
The rule is made to create equality and it's great equality if you have an airport in town. If you get bad weather, commercial flights can get in while private planes can't fly, so the advantage was already there for larger cities that get commercial flights. It's definitely a disadvantage.
