blame chance compete great last lie lying miss players saw ticket time watch
If I'm a fan, I'm not going to miss that game. I'm not going to miss the chance to watch one of the great players of all time come out and compete live. I don't know if it will be his last game, but if it is, and you have a ticket and didn't go, you have no one to blame but yourself. You'll lie about it and say, 'Oh, I went. I saw Brett.' But you'll be a lying dog.
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.

almost assured bet beyond doctor doctors frame guarantee kyle ready time wait week
I would bet that Kyle's not ready to go this week. I'll wait on the doctors, but that one we're most assured of. What the time frame is beyond the week I couldn't say, but I can almost guarantee without being a doctor that Kyle won't go this week.

Fans the challenge is there. Pace yourself. Don't all go get beer at the same time, balance it up. Same way going to the bathrooms. The first time there's a little bump in the road, don't lose your nerve. Keep up the noise because we can wear them out. The fans can be a factor. Baltimore fans can be a factor in this game.
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.

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.

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.

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.
