based current develop fairly scenarios schedule
We develop scenarios based on things that are fairly current in the real world, but the schedule is set way in advance.
active brilliant capacity everybody healthy learning mean somewhat time
That doesn't mean that everybody who has at one time exercised is going to be a brilliant person. But if you are a somewhat intelligent person, you have the capacity for learning and you're an active person, who's a healthy person, you're going to do better at your learning.
coming key knowing next practice
It's just little things, like knowing where we're at in the hotel, or knowing where things are when we get to the practice facility. Just being comfortable with everything is really key for us, to know what's coming up next and not have any surprises.
chicago
I don't necessarily think Chicago is the fattest city.
facilities practice
It will be really big for us to know the ropes. We know the practice facilities and we know what's going on because we've been there. I think that will be big for us in that we can go there ... without being too wide-eyed and not see it as a vacation. I think we will go there and get to work.
angeles expect facilities hotel los practice sort southern stress trip
I think that our familiarity with the hotel and the practice facilities will be really helpful. It will take a lot of stress out of the trip having experienced this all before. Los Angeles is Southern California's backyard, but we have been here and sort of know what to expect now.

But Vince was insisting that as long as there was time on the clock, we had a shot. He was right and he was the one who took us there.

They've got so many good players, they're all so talented and they put out so many guys into the NFL that they kind of have that aura about them.

Every year we've come to California, it's been raining. But we get all our practices in, and it's been fun.

I definitely know that in addition to the general policies of the Navy, there are individuals on board who are really dedicated to it, go beyond what the baseline rules are.

Physical activity is a requirement for good health so if you are physically active, you are going to be healthy and if you are healthy, you are going to learn better.
