POLL OF THE DAY

Which of the following quotes from Coach Prime's press conference do you like the best?

"We've got a three man fight at linebacker right now… those guys are really, really good. The pass rushers on the outside, it's five or six guys that can get home"
"We're getting better, starting with me. I like what I'm seeing from the young men that we've chosen, from everything all the way around. I feel really good about what's going on"
"The safeties are physical, they can go get it… they can make tackles as well as plays on the ball. My corners have to step it up a little bit, but I love what I'm seeing from a few of them"
