asked front opportunity program shown wrong
If it was a concern, I wouldn't have shown up. What's wrong with a little competition? All I asked for was an opportunity to put myself and my program in front of them.
ask bad excited might people saying situation
We're pretty excited about that, ... The situation is not as bad as some people might be saying it is. If we ask for something, we get it.
answered asked honestly league meeting questions
I answered all the questions that the league asked me honestly in the meeting on Tuesday,
asking calls knew meeting mind moss people phones ringing three value
The story got in the paper, then it got on the web, then it went worldwide. Then our phones started ringing and people started asking about Moss so we had a meeting and said, 'Since these calls are coming, what is the value of Moss?' We said it was three No. 1s because we knew no one in his right mind would ever give up three No. 1s.

ask ball certainly himself learn mix needs pass protect runs
He runs the ball hard. He's getting better. ... Like any young back, he needs to learn how to pass protect better. But certainly he has put himself in the mix and that's all you can ask from these young players.
negatively talked throw time tone
I was a little annoyed, ... The tone was stern, stern. I didn't throw anything, but I talked negatively for the first time in two years.
passed point work
I think we've passed the point of having him anointed at any position. I think anything he earns now, he's got to work his way up the ladder.
bother consistency line shown
I think anything from the 36-yard line and in, I'm not going to blink. I think he's shown enough consistency from 54 that it doesn't bother me anymore.
earn four hard hopefully league love proved worked year
I think this year that I proved that I worked hard for four years to earn my stripes, and hopefully there will be other organizations around the league that will see it that way. I love to teach. I love to teach.
sooner
I think the sooner the better for all involved.
early face pressure
I think early on he was getting some pressure in his face up the middle. I think that got him a little off rhythm.
certainly
We're certainly not going to get any worse.
help ownership
ownership has your back ... that they are there for you and want to help probably more than they can help right now.
