When you get on a roll, like we have been on in the past, I would say that the concentration level is at an extreme. It needs to be better and the obvious things are the penalties. You have to focus in on those things, on the technique, concentrate on the snap count and make sure you are not lined up in the neutral zone and those types of things. |
With David's situation, we're looking at some other kickers to bring in here, just in case he can't perform. |
You are going to take care of the big guys and make sure they get enough liquid in them and just kind of keep a close eye on them. Things just sometimes happen, and it's a shame. |

You just have a feel. I just don't know how to explain it. |
You know as well as I do that everybody's different and how they heal, ... I'm not going to sit here and throw times at you. |
You look at their attitude at that first minicamp and they came back charged up for that, |
