happens pile
It happens in the pile all the time,
field goal happen
I've never had it happen on a field goal before.
chains clock completing downs felt hurt keeping moving passes percentage third

I'm at a loss for words. I've been in the league seven years and I've never experienced anything like it before.
careful flag great hit might

astute point puts smart stuff throw wants
Shanahan is more like an astute guy, a thinker. Right to the point when you get that stare. When you get that it's over, you can throw all that smart stuff out the window. When he puts the beams on you, you'll do what he wants every time.
drop fine hopefully instead last point pressure rush saying scheme year
Hopefully we can rush the passer a little more and not drop (into coverage) as much. The one down point of last year was everyone saying that we couldn't get enough sacks or pressure on the quarterback.
