fairly greater individual parts sum team truest unknown
It really is a team in the truest sense of the word. The sum of the parts is greater than the individual parts. This team is fairly unknown to most of the country.
add ask certainly feels fit great handle motions offense perfect point ready season soon takes time work
He certainly had a great season and I think he is the perfect fit for what we ask the quarterback to do. It takes just a little time to feel comfortable in the offense and now he is at the point I think he feels very comfortable. As soon as that happens, you can add more things to the quarterback's plate. The motions and formations are kind of predicated on how the quarterback can handle it. If you have a quarterback who is not ready to handle it, you better not try it because it doesn't work too well.
allen allow believe build chance coaches gave great patience patient paul rather shown stand volatile
Patience. I thanked Paul for being patient with me in a rather volatile business, to allow your coaches to build something and to believe in them. You don't always see it as much as you should in this business, and he has been great for me. With the patience Mr. Allen has shown me, he gave me a chance to stand on the podium.
among five good great last matt reach season top
Matt had a great season two years ago. He had a good season last year. But we need him to be great for us to reach our goal, ... He should be among the top five quarterbacks every year.
anytime bar fair falls football good great guy happen high physical short talk wants wonderful
I think the world of him and I think he is a really good football player. I set the bar very high for him. Anytime he falls short of that, fair or not fair, I will talk to him about it. He is a wonderful guy ... and he wants to do well. To go with his physical ability, all the things you have to do to be a great player, it should happen for him.
great knew needed speed
He has great hands. We knew that. He's a big target. I think his speed is a little underestimated. And we really needed him to play the way he played.
battle certainly expect given good great hard ken marvelous miss works year
It's a great story. He has come in this year and done a marvelous job. He is one of 18 children. He has had to battle for his place his whole life. He appreciates everything. He works hard for everything. He doesn't expect anything to be given to him, and I can't say enough about the young guy. Do we miss Ken Hamlin? Certainly we do. But Marquand Manuel has been better than good this season.

This is a tough pill to swallow. We accomplished a lot this year. While you don't have a great feeling after a game like this, I want them to remember this feeling, so they can build on it.
