confident continued felt five good guys happen job liked looking people resolute teams whether winning wonder
I did wonder whether it would happen or not. Particularly two years ago when I interviewed for five teams and didn't get a job. I felt if it didn't happen this year, it probably wouldn't. But I was resolute and confident with where I was. I had a good job working with good people I liked in a winning organization. A lot of guys are looking for that.

Some of that was by circumstance. We wanted to move a guy and they wanted two guys in a trade. That position, looking at it, wasn't as productive as it needed to be.

As football coaches, you like to think you can coach everybody and anybody, but sometimes you have to recognize that you can't.

ben bit coverage fitting good initially injuries involved might overall pass running stuff system talk training understanding
I think Ben might be a little bit better than I initially thought he was in training camp, ... There was some talk about injuries with him and being better in pass coverage than the run. I think overall he's doing a pretty good job. Nothing great, but he is fitting into the system and understanding more about the defense. He's involved in coverage and the running game, so all of that stuff is good.

Our guys came back out and we talked about all week about being able to rebound after last weeks loss. The guys came back and fought hard. Our defense did a good job the whole game. The offense got off to a slow start, but then came on and were able to move the ball and score some points.
asking block guys miss
Well, I thought about the possibility of asking those guys to not block at all so Dennis could make someone miss on his own. When we try to block, that's when we get penalties.
