balanced element football half hands numbers people run shut taken talk watch
People can look at our run-to-pass ratio, ... but I will say this: Watch us in the first half (this season) because we're still a balanced football team. But when we get a lead, that element is taken out of the hands of the quarterback and we will run the ball. So, we just shut it down. It distorts the numbers a little bit, so talk about the numbers in the first half.
bearing bottom line whatsoever
That's really a non-issue, ... It was what it was. The bottom line is, we didn't get it done and they did. I don't think it had any bearing whatsoever on the game.
lost remember super teams won
They'll never remember the teams that lost the Super Bowl. But they'll remember who won it.
consider fact guys reflective special teammates themselves
In my 14 years, I don't think we've ever had so many guys get votes. As I told the team, it was very reflective of what they thought of their teammates and the fact that they really do consider themselves a team. That is pretty special to get that many guys with two or more votes.
took
Some of those games, when we took Jerome out, (Haynes) wasn't too bad.
barometer early game good
Certainly, ... I think it's a big game early in the season. It's a good barometer for us to see where we stand.

He gives us what we're looking for. He's excited. This is a new lease on life type of thing for him.
based couple few good last looking ready seen
Joey's been looking good the last couple of days. He's not ready to play the whole game. But, based on what I've seen the last few days, he'll start.
age-and-aging certainly older playing
He's certainly playing a lot older than his age.
hand looking seconds starts stuff tip
He's going to go through a lot of theatrics. But you don't want to tip your hand too soon. We'll all be looking at the play clock. ... So when he starts doing all of that stuff with 19 or 20 seconds to go, you've just got to be patient.
blocking danny defensive dirty guy offensive true week
Danny does all the dirty work. He's the guy who's out there blocking linebackers and defensive linemen ... Danny is a true fullback in every sense of the word. He's like an offensive lineman in the backfield. He's a guy who has been there for (us) week in and week out. He doesn't say a lot.
couple people stay stick teams
I think it's cyclical. There are a couple more teams that are going to do it. We'll see how long people stay with it. It's one thing to make the change; it's another to stick with it.
