group men moral prouder victories win
There are no moral victories in the NFL. You win or you lose. We lost, but I've never been prouder to be part of a group of men than these guys.
approach football holds isolate left rest stay team work year
When you're a 2-4 football team, you go back to work and you work your way through. That's what's left of this team right now, ... What the rest of the year holds for us, we'll find out and we'll see what that means. This team will stay together, it will work and it will try to isolate the way that we can get better. That's the only approach I know how to take at this point.
brain wow freak
So I hear they call you 'The Freak' Wow, that's quite a coincidence. They call me 'The Brain.'
new-york team mean
I told my team before we walked out on to the field in Tampa, I wanted them to stop and look each other in the eye - I mean really look each other in the eye because 10 minutes after we we're done beating the New York Giants, I knew that world would change; free agency, the business side of the business. I wanted them to appreciate this doesn't come very often. It may be the last time you have that opportunity.
conditions guy points
It's important because those points are going to be at a premium. To have a guy that's been in those conditions is good.
bad bring certain concerned demeanor developed disrupt good guy player team terms together work
Any player you bring in, you have to be concerned about team chemistry. It's not necessarily the guy may or may not be a bad apple. It's just in terms of demeanor and work ethic. We have very good team chemistry. This team has been together for a while and has developed a certain camaraderie. You don't want to disrupt that.
anybody ball delivery familiar guys hand hard helped helps hesitate himself hurts indeed jump nice sure themselves throwing
Ramsey has a nice delivery and the ball comes out of his hand really well. It's hard because they're all throwing to guys they're not familiar with. But he was impressive. I hesitate to say anybody helps or hurts themselves in this environment, but I'm sure he helped himself with some teams. Ramsey could indeed jump into that No. 3 position.
approach fruitful guy starting telling until
Anthony Wright is our starting quarterback and he will be our starting quarterback until circumstances change, ... That's the only approach we can take. It's not fruitful to tell a guy, 'You're the guy part-time,' or telling the other guy, 'You're out for the year.' You just don't do that.
bush guy lead seen
Is Reggie Bush a 350-carry guy? Probably not. Even if he was, I don't know if you want to do it. You need the balance. From what I've seen of him with the 20 to 25 carries, you don't need him for the other 10. You got a 20-point lead and put the other guy in.
awhile build character guys quite saw talking
I've been talking about the character of these guys for quite awhile and I think you saw it tonight. It is something we can and will build on.
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.
kyle
Make no mistake, Kyle is responsible for the way he reacted,
arbitrary careful diverse game group number passion personally players
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, ... But you have to be very careful about inhibiting the passion for this game in an arbitrary way. 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.
