At least we've been through it. |
For me, it felt like my shot was good ---- and then it just wouldn't go in the hoop. It didn't matter how hard we played. When you can't score, the ending is always the same. |
I think he will. He usually bounces back pretty good. The thing I like about him is when he does make that mistake, he's not scared to go out and make that throw again. He can usually make that throw. Other guys might be timid, but he is not. |
I'm not going to lie to you. There's nothing fun about going out there and practicing twice a day in this kind of heat. But it makes us better. It makes us mentally and physically tougher. It's just one of those things you have to fight through to get to the real season. |
I've never turned around and not been able to see a person's head before. When I was guarding Hawes, all I could see was his stomach. |
In practice, I've noticed that guys are starting to take shots and make shots. It's good to see guys realizing that without Scotty's outside shooting, we need to get more inside shots. |
It's huge having him back. He's a big part of our offense, a big part of our team. Any time he touches it, he could take it to the house. Just to have that weapon, whether he does or doesn't, it's a big part of our offense. |
Steve's making the majority of the catches, but our offense isn't designed just to get him the ball, ... He's just getting open and making some great plays, and Jake is hooking up with him. Naturally, we'd like to spread it out a little more and get other guys (into the end zone), but whenever we can move the ball, it doesn't matter to us how we move it. Whether it's getting Steve catches or Stephen Davis a lot of carries, as long as we're efficient, it really doesn't matter. |

That one pass is magnified because of when it happened, but he made some key passes all game long, ... He's in a pressure situation. He's the guy who has to make those decisions. Sometimes he makes them, sometimes he doesn't. We want him to make more good ones than bad ones, because he's the guy we're going to live or die with. No matter what he does, we're going to rally behind him and do our best to win ballgames. |

The only thing that's going to keep me off the field is something that's season-ending. It's getting better. It's just a little tight. |
The swelling has gone down and the range of motion has come back, but it's still sore. I will have to pad up and protect. I do want to play. I'm preparing to play, but it's whatever they want me to do. |
There's just something mental about going out for that second practice - especially in the afternoon. You know you're going to go out in pads and it's going to be a little longer than this morning. |
They're a good defense, |
