It's a concern. We had some dumb penalties. The pass interference penalties are really hurting us. We have got to improve on the pass interference. Two of those were just kind of not having enough poise to play the ball. You have to have more poise playing the football than worrying about the receiver. |
It's a learning process for him as it is for any young guy when all of a sudden he gets an opportunity to play. Once he gets the ball in his hands and he gets past the line of scrimmage, that's all on his ability. What we're trying to get accomplished is to get him into the second level of the defense. |
It's a long road he took to get here. That's why I was emotional. It just that it wasn't a normal road to get here. A couple weeks ago I didn't have a brakeman. Back home for Christmas, I kept thinking I might have to drive him to the airport in St. Moritz to fly home and watch the Olympics from there. |
It's a lot happening at once and there's a lot of pressure. It's so amazing that we made it back to state and to go out with a championship would be perfect, but everyone's been talking about graduation for a month and I'm really excited about that too. I didn't want to have to pick one over the other. |
It's a matter of confidence. It's definitely a huge step forward in that direction. It's nice to go out with a win. Guys are disappointed we didn't make it to playoffs. But all in all the guys should be satisfied with the way we played in the second half, and we just have to carry it over to next year. |
It's a multi-centre trial taking place around the country (US) and they really tried to take a variety of patients who would be representative of the real world, and that is so important. It's real-world data with big numbers, which are so hard to get. There's a tremendous amount of value in the study. |
It's a win, and you're happy with it and leave it at that. It makes the final couple of games of the season fun. They have something to play for, and we have something to play for. Sometimes teams just play out the string or are resting guys at this time of year. We're going to have something to chase. |
It's actually nice to play this much. It's what you want. You get into a nice rhythm. That's what you work hard for in the summer, and it's nice to get rewarded when you play a game and you feel good after the game and you feel good the next day. It kind of validates why you work so hard in the summer. |
It's an inside sprain, which is worse than an outside sprain. We're going to ice it and do some stimulation in the morning to see if we can flush some of the swelling out. People will say we have no chance with Brody going down, but I don't think so. I think desire and refusing to lose goes a long way. |
It's an old cliché that guys who aren't the most talented players make good managers and teachers. I fall into that category ... I had to do a lot of listening and learning by trial and error to make myself into the player I became. I think that's one reason I've been able to communicate with players. |

It's been pretty much a mirror from the standpoint of both teams have established their ability to win at home, they got great crowds at both places as far as the enthusiasm, and both our teams have been the best teams on the road. It's different sports, but we're both looking each other in the mirror. |
It's difficult but we were able to establish the run. Our offensive line and Willie Parker did a fantastic job of managing the game and Ben did a great job of spreading the ball around. And the defense did a great job of getting us the ball back. We won 34-7 so there's really nothing to complain about. |
It's difficult for any team to do. You can't be down 20 points in the second half and expect to get back in the game. I thought we did a good job with that. We had to get a stop every possession and get a basket every possession basically. We can't dig ourselves into a hole like that and expect to win. |
It's easy for me to sit here and say, 'Hey, this would have been my first win, Jimmie, why did you try to pass me?' Well, this was a win for him, too. I can't hold a grudge against him for that. If he wouldn't have tried to pass me for a win on the last lap, I don't know if I would have respected that. |
