team mirrors balls
I don't want to say [the teams] are mirror images of each other, ... but there's a lot of similarities on both sides of the ball.
play two giving
It just shows you have come prepared to play and ready to execute. It doesn't give you that much comfort when it's early and you still have another two and a half to three quarters to go. You better keep playing. But it is a positive, it gives you energy and it gives you a little boost like that.
dear-lord soul cold
Dear Lord, I pray that my place will never be with the cold, timid souls who do not compete yet criticize, for they never know or feel success or failure.
athlete wrestling quality
I'm a huge wrestling fan. Wrestlers have so many great qualities that athletes need to have.
effective expect full point receiver speed
We don't expect Travis to play. He hasn't progressed to the point to where he is effective or can be at full speed. A receiver not at full speed makes it pretty tough.
coaches job
In the end, they're here to go to school, and it should be our job as administrators or as coaches that if they're not, we can't put you on the field.
approval believe clint everybody far final guess guys tells thinks veto
I know everybody thinks I've got the final veto and/or approval of somebody, and I guess I do, ... But he and (linebacker) Clint Ingram by far and away had all the votes. That tells you that guys who are working with him every day believe in him, too.
chance fighting fights-and-fighting good pushing work
I know what will be written, but we're a work in progress, ... We're fighting that. We're going to keep pushing and making improvements each week, and if we do that, we have a chance to have a good team.
close consistency felt overall
I just felt overall that there was a little more, maybe, consistency there to some degree, ... but it's still very close when you look at them overall.
confidence proof record speaks total track
I have total confidence in Chuck, and I think his track record speaks for him. The proof is in what they've done.
coming fairness finds rumors saying
I probably shouldn't have said (Monday), but everyone finds out anyway. .... In fairness to him, it probably doesn't need to be me coming out and saying that. In the end, that's the situation, and it's better than all the rumors being around about it.
appears book doctors evaluate few hard magical start strength weeks
He's still a few weeks away from what the book says, but strength-wise he appears to be solid. What's the magical day is hard to determine. I think the doctors will evaluate him on (today) and see if he can't start doing some work.
plays
He's the best. You can say all you want about him. He makes the plays that matter, and you see it every week.
fully jumps looks notice
He's probably still not fully healed, but you won't notice it. He looks great. He's back. He jumps through the hole. You notice it. He looks really good.
