Our players have checked in, and we start practice tomorrow. We're very excited about it, but more important, the players are excited. ... Now it's time for practice. It's time for football. |
Our special teams really let us down, and we didn't protect our quarterback nearly as well as we need to. Offensively, we did some good things. |
