Football Quotes
I don't know about Andy's confidence. He's practiced very well, so it's more a mental thing than anything else. He'll have to fight his way through it if he wants to play at this level. The backup job was open in training camp and Andy won it, but that doesn't mean it won't change throughout the year.

Ahead Quotes
His position is very difficult to break into, whether you're 23 or 27 ? and he's 20. As a coach, you hope that you haven't given him too much sometimes, but he's responded to his tough nights. The next night he's always better. He's a very focused young man, and if he remains that way, he'll have a nice career ahead of him.

Decide Quotes

Committed Quotes
The first two periods, we were not committed to playing together and to the game plan. You have to be committed to play in this league. That doesn't necessarily guarantee success, but it does put you in a pretty good position for success. The probability of having success increases. But when you're not committed to each other and to a game plan, it's pretty difficult to be successful at this level.
