... I was standing along the west wall and the building was just rocked, our room sort of fell apart. |
All of a sudden I hear this banging on the wall and this voice, strange voice crying in the darkness somewhere on the 81st floor, |
Coach Dixon is always on me, ... I haven't had a coach like that since high school. He's after you on every play, and it gets frustrating. Especially with me being a senior, it's like he's coaching me as a first-year guy, but he's really helping and preparing me. |
Come on, Ron, we've got to get this guy. |
Even if no one was here, rain or shine, we were going to be. |
Every single route -- even if it's a clear route -- we're running it to win. You never know when you'll get that one-on-one coverage, Jay sees it and he wants to throw the ball deep. If you're loafing, not running your route hard, and the ball comes your way, then you look pretty bad. |
Everyone wants to win the race but no one has to trip anybody to get there. Having two good boxing gyms in one city benefits everybody. |
Had it not been for God's glory and this man's goodness, ... I would not be here. |
He beat us and we had him, |
He's more mature. He's taken this leadership role really seriously. He's carrying himself like he's a leader. He comes in with the play; he's confident that it's going to work. It also trickles down on us. |
He's very focused and very smart. He's got very good control of his emotions and is just a very good logical thinker. |
I don't think any of us have lost confidence in Jay. We're expecting ... that he's going to be fighting to get his starting position back. That's the kind of guy he is. This makes him more hungry now. |
I jumped and reached over and somehow grabbed onto something under the armpit and pulled the body over the top, ... and we fell in a heap on the floor. |
I just have to trust the coaches that they know what they've been doing. I was a worrier. Now, I'm not as much as I've become a stronger Christian. |
I knew Marcus would get going. He always does, and I knew he would again. It was just a matter of time. |
