confident exactly good players worst
To me, the worst thing you can do is do too many things, where the players are uncertain. I don't think they play as aggressive. The most important thing is, come Sunday, that they're confident and feel good going out there. They know exactly what to do, and they know exactly how to do it.

There is no question in my mind that we have more playmaking ability in our special teams than we've had at any point in time we've been here.

We've got a lot of young guys that have gotten on the job training.

We've got to go back to work and become a more disciplined and smarter team and do all the things it takes to win games. We have a lot of work to do because our opener is right around the corner. I'm convinced that we can get to where we need to be.

He's a bright guy. He's on top of his assignments, and we look forward to seeing him play every week to see how much progress he's made.
athlete continue difference football speed tried work
He's a young guy, I think he'll do nothing but get better. We've tried to continue to work him in more and more. You can see what a difference an athlete like him with speed makes in a football game.

I believe we have our most talented group. We have attempted to stay consistent in following the plan. We have improved each season and I think this will be the most competitive team we've had.
