Fox on Veterans Day

November 11th, 2011 - 1:39pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

Head Coach John Fox grew up in a military family. His father, Ron, was a U.S. Navy SEAL. So Fox knows as well as anyone the importance of today — Veterans Day.

After Friday’s practice, Fox addressed the topic.

“We talk in football about sacrifice and commitment,” Fox said. “I grew up in a military family and I know a lot of family and friends today that are (abroad). I was over in Afghanistan two years ago and just seeing the commitment and sacrifice by the people that are overseas now and people that have done it before for our freedom so we can live the way we do –- it doesn’t get much better than that.”

We win!

Me and my main man Hamza Abdullah filled in at safety. Hamza is definitely one of my closest friends on the team. I’ve talked about him a lot on the blog before and how he’s a very good young safety. We were able to start together at safety for the Kansas City game, and all week practicing together we just had a great time. We had fun communicating and making plays all week during practice. It was a whole lot of fun, and then of course the game was even more fun. There’s definitely something special about playing and performing with somebody that you have a pretty good friendship with. While you’re on the field you feel really close to everybody out there and you want everybody to do well, but there’s something different about being out there with guys that you really care about. I think the people in the secondary, we all really care about each other and we’re close friends.

It was just a great performance by the team overall, and there were some great plays in the secondary. There were a bunch of interceptions, and unfortunately I was not able to get one, but it doesn’t really matter. We won. That’s all that matters, because we are now winners. I like being a winner. Being a loser stinks. I don’t think I want to be a loser anymore. I’d like to win a lot more games.
