final interact quite score
It really is about how you play, how you interact with one another, the things you overcome. The final score is always important. These are competitive guys. But is it the most important thing? Quite frankly, no.
concerns game good intensity passion quite seem step team time
I told the team before the game they didn't quite seem to have the passion and intensity you need to have every time you step on the field. That's something this team is usually good at. That concerns me a little bit.
common quite respond
I don't respond to that. That's the most common observation, and I don't know how you quite substantiate that.
brains call hear quite
So I hear they call you 'The Freak?' Wow, that's quite a coincidence. They call me 'The Brain.'

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.
examining fast happened light mechanism pinned players quite shoe strong support swimming turned
Kyle's, for instance, would've happened in a swimming pool. The way that thing got pinned and turned had nothing to do with the turf whatsoever, ... What we're examining very closely, quite frankly, are the shoes. The players all want, just like the padding, as little a shoe, as light a shoe, as fast a shoe as they can get. But the shoe also is a very strong support mechanism for the foot.

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.
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.
