addressing camp degree entire forward happened legacy looking move needs proud reason spent start sure team
I'm sure it does to a degree for the players, ... I know it does for me, but you don't start camp with that mentality. We've spent an entire offseason addressing and looking very candidly at why that happened and addressing the reason for it. This team needs to move forward very aggressively. We're very proud of the legacy we have here, but this team's going to have a new identity, it really is. It's different than any team we've had.
addition great joy love
He's been a joy to have, a great addition to this club. We'd love to have him back.
add beyond cut hard together
Take No. 21 and No. 23, add them together and cut it in half. Anything beyond that, it's hard to understand.
addition depth great huge obviously pickup running special time
He's a huge addition for us, particularly on special teams. Obviously at this time of the season, to have depth at running back is pivotal, so it's a great pickup for us in that regard.
gain lose people player step
Oh, it's huge, it's huge. But you gain some things when you lose a player of that caliber, because other people have to step up.

As a coach, there are a lot of things, personally, I may or may not like or would not personally do - not necessarily may be my style, ...

I've got a very diverse group of players economically, socially, racially, geographically, with a number of different upbringings.
ankle hard high project
Hard to say. The high ankle sprain is always a concern. It would be ill-advised to project at this time.
ability effect force huge lewis reckoned run
Jamal Lewis is a force to be reckoned with. When it's all said and done, barring injuries, he will have a huge effect our ability to run the ball.
ahead brought changes credit deserve forward good jim needed work
Jim was brought in to make the changes that needed to be made schematically, emotionally, strategically and fundamentally for us to go forward in conjunction with some very good coaches. They collectively and Jim individually deserve all the credit for the improvements that we've seen. We've got a lot of work ahead of us.
dwight dynamic game outside player playing presence rush saw top tremendous
I saw a tremendous player in Dwight Freeney playing at the top of his game and as dynamic a presence on the outside rush as there is in the game.
fairly
I think we've done things fairly intelligently. We've rebuilt without drastically slipping back at any one point.
analysis hard looks next playoff run teams tough year
The hard part with that analysis (is), you don't know what those teams are going to be. What looks to be a tough run of playoff teams could end up the next year not being that.
adage ball gets hands interest itself lends point until
Getting the ball in Jamal's hands more, which is always a point of interest for everybody, lends itself to the old adage that a back doesn't get cranked up until he gets to that 20th, 25th run. That may have something to do with it,
