I told them we gotta get a lot better. There were a lot of mistakes, some off the snaps, too many penalties.

brother equal excited faster somewhat special
I'm really excited about Sinorice, ... probably faster than Santana, and I think the thing I see is he has a lot of maturity. Sinorice is one of the leaders. ... I think one thing he has to do to somewhat equal his brother is we have to get him the football. I think we do that and we'll see some really special things of him.
defensive needs schooled sets willie
It sets you back a lot. When you don't practice, you don't get better. Willie has a lot of ability. He needs to get schooled in the defensive scheme.
