balance baltimore beer bump challenge factor fans lose noise pace time wear
Fans the challenge is there. Pace yourself. Don't all go get beer at the same time, balance it up. Same way going to the bathrooms. The first time there's a little bump in the road, don't lose your nerve. Keep up the noise because we can wear them out. The fans can be a factor. Baltimore fans can be a factor in this game.
challenge coming helmet imagine line means mentality noise offense percent run stadium thinking wear
I'll say it again: It's the Indianapolis Colts that are coming into our stadium with a mentality that our quarterback is going to run his offense at the line 80 percent of the time, ... I can't imagine what that means to Baltimoreans to see that Colts helmet in this stadium and them thinking they can run their offense on the line. Fans, the challenge is there. Keep up the noise because we can wear them out.

ball bell cow far kyle numbers surely team though throw thus
Kyle surely would like to throw the ball more, but he understands who the bell cow on this team is. Even though the numbers don't look very good, I'm very comfortable thus far with his decision-making process.
examining fast happened light mechanism pinned players quite shoe strong support swimming turned
Kyle's, for instance, would've happened in a swimming pool. The way that thing got pinned and turned had nothing to do with the turf whatsoever, ... What we're examining very closely, quite frankly, are the shoes. The players all want, just like the padding, as little a shoe, as light a shoe, as fast a shoe as they can get.
