bit early
It's a little bit early to tell anything there.
foolhardy
I think it would be foolhardy to try to do something with him here.
depth
Fortunately, we do have some competitive depth there, and we'll just let that play out.
anticipate bigger calls continue effort eventually maybe offense overall planning result role structure taking terms
No. It will continue to be as things have been. It has always been a collaborative effort here and will continue to be a collaborative effort. Eventually all the calls go through me. I think as a result of some things that transpired in December, I would anticipate maybe taking a bigger role in the overall structure of the planning in terms of what we're going to do on offense and defense.
absence behind four guys injury last might player running saw three training year
For the first time, we started to see the player that we saw in training camp. The absence of three or four guys that he got used to running behind last year might be a contributing factor, but I think his injury was it more than anything.
pleasant surprise
He's probably come on a little fast, ... That probably was the pleasant surprise of it.
mood rolling shame stones
I don't know that my mood is a Rolling Stones mood right now, ... It would be kind of a shame to miss, though.
call dodge looks pads trying until
He's got his pads on. You can call that what you want. He's done a little bit, but as I've said before, not to dodge the question, but until it really looks like he's going to play in a game, it's just a distraction from what we're trying to do.
ability good particular players playoff size speed stepped teams
He really stepped up during playoff time. Good teams have a lot of players that step up at that particular time. And that's as much a characteristic as size and speed is the ability to step up at those moments.
interested minutes people seen television until
A lot of people are interested in the incident, as am I. I did not see it on the field. And, until 25 minutes ago, I had not seen it myself. It does not show up on the coaches' copy. All it does is show up on the television copy.
brick fact mobile player shows
The thing Brick showed in Mobile is that when there's competition, he shows up. He was well-appreciated for the fact that he was the highest-rated player in years to show up and play.
camp nobody training
Nobody has had a better training camp than Brennan.
amount communication develop good isolated passing people run takes
Sometimes people think that's isolated to the passing game. For the real good run games, it takes the same amount of communication and repetitions to develop with that execution.
pleased sticky
They're going to make it sticky on you for awhile. You can't get discouraged. You've got to keep grinding. I was pleased with that.
