I don't have a set program or plan. It all leads to wanting to be game-ready. There is a finish line.
acting almost gain good ground guys job trying
I don't feel a sense of urgency. We've been trying to gain ground almost all year, but I don't see guys acting any different than earlier. And if they are, then they weren't doing a good enough job before.
