I guess there can be a lesson. We should have just kept doing what we were doing in the first half. We should have just run the offense.

amazing both greatest grow growth inside league master normal outside positions rookie second short speed success took year
I thought his rookie year was his most amazing year. For him to master two positions, grow with the speed of the league and to do it from both inside and outside positions and have success was nothing short of amazing.

I know that's a long way away right now, but hopefully with a lot of hard work, getting a little bit better, maybe I can accomplish those things down the road.

After going through what he went through last year, nothing is that big a deal to him. I think now he respects that it's important to win a tennis match, but it's really a small part of his life.

I always talk about that big jump guys make between their first and second year, and Kenechi is right where he's supposed to be. In the second year, you understand what you are. A lot of guys have to refine themselves from college. I say the same things, and they say, 'Bake, why didn't you tell me that last year?' Now, they have a revelation.
