breaks four mold option teacher thinks three
breaks everything down so finely, and to have a teacher like that, it's going to mold Carson. He doesn't just think of one option on the play; he thinks of three or four options.
mental showing wants
He wants us to come out showing a lot of energy, play hard, no mental mistakes.
block bull guy guys lean level low move pad pounds rush
My pad level - I'm a tall, lean guy - if those guys get low and bull rush me, they'll be able to move me. It's all footwork and hands. I don't need to be 350 pounds to block those guys.

I've driven by it a lot. I'm looking forward to being inside the stadium.

The coaches want to see us play like that.

biggest chemistry cincinnati extend gave levi line lock money next offensive playing route signed smart unison wants willie
We know that after the Colts signed (quarterback) Peyton (Manning) the way they did and gave him all of that money the next thing they did was go lock down the linemen. If Cincinnati wants to go that route and re-sign me and Levi and Willie and extend Bobbie, then I think that would be smart because with the offensive line the biggest thing is the chemistry and playing in unison like that.
five game job running starting
We don't have a lot of guys, and whichever starting five we've got out there, we have to get the job done. We didn't get the running game going, didn't get into the groove. We had the starting five going all year. That had an effect. We should still find a way. It was a long afternoon.
