chicken early great halfway hyped premature running sky team whether
It's really still pretty early, ... We're only at the halfway mark. At that stage, I think it's too early to get hyped up about whether you have a great team and it's a little premature to be running around like Chicken Little saying, 'The sky is falling.'
position
They all did pretty decently. I thought as an entity, the position did OK.
afternoon handle hard nasty
He could be pretty hard to handle in there. If he taps into everything he has to bring, he could become a nasty afternoon for some center.
pass secondary
Really it's not the secondary that's being tested, ... it's the pass defense.
adaptable building certainly easily enables fit guy jets might poise speculate team
Other than the building itself, there's little about the Jets that's the same as it was when we were there. So I don't really know enough about the team to be able to speculate as to how he might fit in. He's a very adaptable guy and his poise and self-confidence enables him to really fit into any environment, and he certainly did that very easily when he went to Atlanta.

ego feels good happy months nine players problem since win won
If you're not happy with this win, fellows, you got a problem with your ego, ... I'm happy to win. It's been nine months since we won a game. I'm real happy to win. I told the players that . . . We won. That's a pretty good feeling. Now we got one more win than Oklahoma's got, and that feels pretty good, too.

active cause cumulative days effects great miss next players practice program time
He was a great inspiration to the players and coaches. On those days when he had to take chemo and radiation, he was at practice that day and sometimes the cumulative effects would cause him to miss the next day, but the time when he wasn't active in the program was minimal.

I think it's to the quarterback's advantage to be playing with experience behind him, and then if it's to the quarterback's advantage, it is certainly going to make it to the advantage of the team to have an experienced quarterback.
