“So I think guys were looking at it from ‘Well I don’t wanna be that guy’ but more importantly they’re realizing the potential that we have this year and the team we have and we can truly do something special. So they’re putting the team before themselves.” [PFB]

• Gundy on Sanders’ ball security: “If he takes care of the ball in the pocket, he’s automatically a better player.”

Here’s why there’s optimism that he will. [PFB]
