He's always answered the bell. When you come out of the locker room, he's always the guy that's standing out there before the team and making sure everybody touches everybody. And this is the first time he touched a guy when he wasn't in pads.
Kevin's trying to do a lot of things in the right manner, and you have to really allocate your time when the season starts,
They realized what type of football team we are, ... We have to do the little things well. It doesn't look pretty all the time - pretty doesn't win.
