If you have a player like that, you get him the ball anyway, anytime you can. We normally take a lot of pride in our special teams, but we had a couple of real miscues on special teams.

You have to be able to audible depending on what kind of defense they are showing. You don't want to stick with a dead play. Say they bring eight people to the line or somebody is left uncovered. He does have the green light to do certain things, and that makes it fun for him just so long as the intent of what we're trying to do is pretty much the same.

We knew he was going to play no matter what. But he was the spark.

We knew it would be an environment they weren't used to.

That was our deal at halftime that we wanted to put pressure on the quarterback.

Our parent meeting is pretty explicit about how careful we are. Your son's health is No. 1. It's more important than any victory or any play or anything like that.
