anywhere ball call catching confidence fun matt start sure year
One of the differences to our start this year is they are catching the ball real well. It makes it fun. I'm sure it makes it fun for Matt because he has confidence he can go anywhere with the ball. And then I have confidence that I can call just about anything I want.
bit dive prudent ray reins sure
The whole thing with Ray is that we want to make sure that when he does come back, he comes back and we do the right thing, ... I will have to have the reins on him a little bit because he'll want to dive back in there and its probably not the prudent thing to do right away.
good happen ken miss quite sure
You're not quite sure what's going to happen at that point. Do we miss Ken Hamlin? Certainly, we do. But Marquand Manuel has been better than good this season.
exclude sure
I'm not sure that even happened. If I did exclude him, I am very, very sorry.
bad guy hard incredibly people role satisfying sure thrust wants works
You see a guy like Marquand get thrust into a role and you're not sure what's going to happen, but then you see how hard he works because he wants it so bad and he doesn't want to let people down. It's a really incredibly satisfying thing to see as a coach.
best gets glad hopefully job keeps liked proud stay sure worked
I'm very proud of the job he's done, ... If he keeps it going, he could have his best year. I'm sure glad it worked out with his contract. We'd all like him to stay and he'd liked to stay. So hopefully it all gets worked out.
afraid break chances furniture hard monitor throw
I was afraid I was going to break furniture and throw the monitor out the window. It's just hard because we had our chances and we didn't capitalize.
last mistake mistakes struggled throwing year
I think we made a little mistake last year not throwing him in there sooner. He would have struggled a little bit, but when he did play, he was very good.
finding fine football games guy guys lose overstated player players trick trying untalented win
I think that can be overstated just a little bit. If you have a very untalented guy who is a high-effort guy, you are going to lose every week. You like them like that, but the better player is going to win more games for you. The trick is finding those guys that are really fine football players and really don't think they are that great; they are always trying to get better.
glad
I think it was necessary, and now in retrospect, I'm glad I did it.
choosing guys happen home however last playing
It happens, because now you're down to one game, and anything can happen in any one game. But I think if you look over percentages over the last however many years, most of the times the guys that are playing at home have the advantage. So we're choosing to look at it that way.
allowing build coaches volatile
I thanked him for allowing the coaches to build something. In such a volatile industry, you don't always get that.
