They're always positive in practice and during the games. They're a great two people to play for.

You could tell there were definitely nerves, jitters. The only way to get over that is to play games.

It's a compact season. We play 18 games, and between games and practice, you have to get a lot done in a short period of time.

We almost didn't even have a field to play games on. We don't really even have a practice field.

I always felt we needed to play more in games and even in practice. As a veteran, I also realize you want to go into the season healthy. That's why I'm glad it's the coach's job.

Every practice or every game, our young players are seeing a new situation. It's very important to play the games, to make corrections and to name a few things that we did well.
