But he's the best, and the one you should worry about the most. When we played him last year, he made some hellacious plays. I threw one ball that looked like it was going to be over his head and he made a great play on it and tiptoed the sideline. He's an awesome corner.”
“It's just a sense of urgency. We need to get it together immediately. ... It's like a broken record.”
