danny guys people second super year
Some guys never get to a Super Bowl, and then there are people like Danny Marino who get there in their second year and don't get back.
accepted field guys lead rather talk trying yelling
I think the guys have kind of accepted that with me and I think I try to go on the field and play that way. I'm not a guy who's going to be yelling or ranting and raving and trying to talk to be a leader. I'd rather lead by example. It's made me feel more comfortable out there on the field.
bunch coming crying guys start
I don't want to start getting teary-eyed. We don't want a bunch of guys crying coming out of the locker-room.
confidence football game good guys job knew plan ready regular season today
I had confidence in the guys and I had confidence in myself. I knew that when the regular season got here, and we were ready to go out and game plan and really play football when it mattered, we'd be OK. I think today we showed that we did a pretty good job - especially on offense.
guys main means
The main thing is the guys are not discouraged. We're disappointed we didn't get the win, but we still have a long season. All this means is we can't go undefeated.
dream guys thank true
Thank you guys so much. This has been a dream come true for all of us.
eternity feels field guys hopefully since stay wait
It feels like an eternity since I've been out there. I can't wait to get out there and get on the field so the guys know I'm back, and hopefully I'm back to stay for a while.
bunch coming crying guys locker means starts talking
I'm going to tell him not to say too much. When Jerome starts talking you get teary-eyed because of how much he means to you. We don't want to have a bunch of guys crying coming out of the locker room.
gets guy guys inspired losing offense played
He's the guy who gets them going, ... I think they probably played even more inspired when he went down. They started losing guys on offense and defense, and we didn't take advantage.
changes guys lining moving normally people playing safety
Because of all the changes they had to make, they had people all over the place. Guys were going down, they were moving people around. They had a guy who's normally a linebacker (Mike Vrabel) lining up at safety and playing deep.
balls four fulfill game glad promised promises
I promised him that I would get him four game balls. I'm glad that I could fulfill the promises that I made to him.
beard bit depression ended game kept lose lost mad next people shave until winning won
I was so mad that we lost the game. I kind of went into a depression and didn't shave and we ended up winning the next game. And I am kind of superstitious - just a little bit to people who know me - but we won that game and I said I am just going to keep it going until we lose and we kept it going. I don't really like the beard you know. But we were winning so I had to keep it going.
mastering
It is a growing-up process. I'm a long way from mastering anything.
clicking figure plays practice time worried
I'm not worried about it. I feel comfortable with where we're at. We're not clicking on all cylinders, but we're clicking on most cylinders. That's why this is the preseason. This is time for us to practice and figure out what we need to do to make the plays when it counts.
