He's already emerging as one of the elite closers in the game. That's pretty impressive for a guy who was in college last year.
absolutely cliff conscious dugout effort fun guys knack pride takes winning year
Absolutely there are guys who have a knack for winning games. Cliff is one of them, and it's very underrated. All year long, if we have a big inning, he makes a conscious effort to get us back in the dugout fast. He takes a lot of pride in that. He's fun to play behind.
enjoyed enjoys field guy playing stands tough
For me, he really stands out as a guy I've really enjoyed playing with. He enjoys playing the game. He's a tough out, and he does things in the field like he did today.
goes guy importance time
Obviously, we know the importance C.C. has to this team, so any time a guy like that goes down there is some concern. But you feel for him as a person more than anything.

These guys stuck with me. They walk the walk and talk the talk better than anyone I've ever seen.

He's just a good dude that plays the game right. Grady just has a great way about him. First off, he's a great player, and he's going to be a great player in this league for a long time. He'll be one of those guys that doesn't really change, other than he'll be able to afford a few more things.

Sometimes it takes guys a little longer. It's different for everybody, but he's definitely a guy we are fortunate to have on our team.
although behind best develop europe experience football game guys level nfl obviously second trying
The idea of going over to NFL Europe is to get some game experience, develop as a player, and I feel like that's what I did. I went over there and showed that I can play at this level. Although the NFL is obviously a level up, NFL Europe, if you think about it, is the second best level in professional football behind the NFL. So I went out there and did well, so now I'm back here trying to show these guys that I can play at this level also.
accustomed came consider expect fully good member perform positive season time year
It was a disappointing year for me personally, because I didn't perform at any time during the season the way I'm accustomed to performing. But on the positive side, when you consider where I came from, I still rallied out of it to be a contributing member on a good team. This year, being fully healthy, I expect to make more of an impact.

I'm actually pretty good friends with him. I didn't really think much of that last year, or much of this. It's in the game, and that's what happens.

It's disappointing because we were so close, and we all know how tough it is to get that close.

Kind of like the Super Bowl before the game. All the fireworks and the music blasting.

He didn't make many mistakes on the big part of the plate.
