coach funny goes matter sort
It is sort of funny, isn't it? One coach goes 9-3 and everything's great. Another coach goes 9-3 and everything's not so great. It's all a matter of perspective.
badge surprised
It is very important. It's something that we like to have and would like to continue. It is a badge of honor. It's something you like to sell. I'll be surprised if we don't have a first-rounder this year.
gotta
I told them we gotta get a lot better. There were a lot of mistakes, some off the snaps, too many penalties.
schedule
It is what it is. Again, it's not my preference, but we take the schedule as it comes.
definitely quality
It's not so much numbers, it's the quality you get. I think we definitely got quality.
afternoon chance dedicate eat everybody four front hot indication national saturday summer sun wants
Everybody wants to play well on Saturday afternoon in front of 80,000 and on national television. But when you're in the hot summer sun and when you've got a chance to eat four pizzas and you don't go, that was the thing that made an indication this guy's really going to dedicate himself.
encouraged knew stepped
That has encouraged me about Tyrone, because he really has stepped it up a level. We knew what we had when we recruited him.
complaints level lose people talent
Talent wise, I don't have any complaints about that. I think our talent level is good. If we lose a game, it won't be because of talent. We're not going away, people know that.
develop help players
They have to have the ability, ... but we really do help develop our players to the max.
low
It was just a low snap, a low snap,

These things are serious. We know that. If we don't know it, we should just reflect back a few weeks to Katrina. It came through here as a Category 1, and trust me, we don't want to see much more.
believe ourselves players practice spring trying
This is a very important spring practice for us. It's important that we believe in ourselves and our players believe in what we're doing and what we're trying to accomplish.
attacking defensive fun team
The thing I see different about this defensive team is they're having more fun doing what they do. They're having a lot of fun attacking and making plays.
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.
