coaches depth difficult playing preach prepare secondary starters team veterans
We have some depth in the secondary and the coaches preach to the backups to prepare like starters and I think you can see that on the field. When all of the guys, from the veterans to the rookies, are playing hard, it makes us a very difficult team to beat.
coach far players preach talent willing
I think that as far as talent, we have enough to get over the hump. We are just not doing it. You can?t coach it, you can?t preach it. It is just something that players must be willing to do.
preaching-the-gospel soul thrones
If we allow the consideration of heathen morality and heathen religion to absolve us from the duty of preaching the gospel we are really deposing Christ from His throne in our own souls.
beating eagles
Beating the Eagles is still beating the Eagles.
character matter
We don't give up. No matter what, we keep fighting. That's the character of this team. And I think we can grow.
hard learning mental progress work
I think I've made a lot of progress. But I think I have a lot to work on in the mental part of the game. I need to just keep learning every day. I'm really hard on myself to be the best.
guys tradition
Those are the guys who started this tradition and honor.
behind fall guys hit mean rally seems spot tough trying
Guys are always trying to rally each other when we fall behind or hit a tough spot in a game. It just seems to mean more when Vince does it because he always delivers.
enjoy feeling great hear name running
I didn't get my name called though. It will be a great feeling to hear my name announced, but I enjoy just running out when my name is not called.
cause focused helping locker tension totally
I don't get too focused on what (the coaches) are thinking, because if I do that, I can't focus on what I'm doing. If you do, when you're out on the field, you think about it. When you're in the locker room, it can cause tension and cause you not to be totally focused on helping the team. I try not to get sidetracked.
sit
I didn't come here just to sit back,
behind focused junior learned mike obviously playing prepare start starter stay tennessee year
Obviously you want to start, but if I don't start I still have to prepare like I'm a starter because you never know what's going to happen, ... That's something I learned in college. During my junior year I was playing behind Mike Doss now with Indianapolis and Donnie Nickey now with Tennessee so I just had to stay focused and ready.
against mix near obviously people stuff successful sure teams yards
Obviously with the yards and stuff he's done this year, not too many teams have been successful against him. I think you have to mix it up on him and make sure you have people near him all the time.
course starter surprising
Of course it's going to be surprising to me; I'm a starter and I feel I should be a starter.
