ability amount bad certain changing develop developing generally giving invested sake series settle stick switch time tough unless
There's going to be times a guy's having a tough day or tough series or something like that, but you're not going to have the ability to develop through it unless you stick with it, ... There's times where you've got to make a change, but I don't think changing for the sake of changing is necessarily the (proper approach). You've invested a certain amount of time in developing a guy, in giving him reps, so I think generally the thing to do if he's having a bad day is to settle him down, not switch him out.
anybody country guys pull recruiting time
I've said this one time before ? if anybody could do it, we wouldn't go around the country recruiting these guys to play quarterback. We'd just go to 7-Eleven and pull the guys out of there. There's a lot of guys at 7-Eleven who'd like to play quarterback.
ball both given guess happen rather routine sides sloppy start trying
I thought on both sides of the ball we were sloppy to start this game. My guess would be we were trying to make too much happen on any given play, rather than try to make routine plays.

I thought he was steady, ... There's always a level of jitters that goes on with a guy that's starting his first game. He hid it well. I'm sure he had some.
attention commands contained explosive given great period player time
I thought he was pretty good. We contained him for a period of time but he is very explosive and can go off at any given moment. He is a great player and he commands as much attention as any player in the conference.
I think they're going to be really good.

We were sloppier on both sides of the ball but we played well for a period of time.

coming community enjoy focus help might
I enjoy coming back to these breakfasts every year, ... They help you focus on community and things you might not always focus on.
address care happen media negative played players subscribe supposed view
I don't care about the negative attention, ... I did feel that some of our players played like the media view of how we're supposed to play when you're ahead. I don't happen to subscribe to that view, and I'll address it with them (today).
return tremendous
On that play, we had a return on, ... I thought (Douglas) did a tremendous job.
