agree business goes guys leave might realize side time understand
You understand that there is a business side of things. You might not like the way it goes all the time or you may not agree with the way that it is handled, but there is a business side of things and when you see guys leave every year, you realize that it is a part of it.
everybody goes none situation stays stuff talking
If you give me everybody we had, everybody stays healthy, none of the stuff goes on, we're talking about a different situation right now.
game monday night
A Monday night game does give you a different vibe.
close deal facts game last nowhere season
All you can do is deal with what the facts are right now. The facts are that this is the last game of the season. The facts are that there were a lot of injuries. The facts are that this is nowhere close to the season that we wanted to have.
breaks happened hoping praying training
Oh, yeah, a tad bit. To have the things that have happened this off-season and going into training camp, it has been a lot different than anything I've experienced. I'm hoping and praying that nothing else breaks out.
bring care goes players
I don't care who we bring in here or what players we have, everything goes through him,
happened injuries
For me, what happened this year, with this team, with all the injuries and stuff, I can't put too much into it.
close felt knew needed next pain played talked year
But I mean, I felt their pain. How close we were, for that many years, to get to that point, and then lose it? We talked our way to where we wanted to be and we played our way to where we wanted to be. From the year before, we knew where we needed to be to get that next level. Then we got there and we couldn't capitalize.
close credit locker means past room taken understand winning
By no means is this locker room downbeat. We understand what we should have done this past Monday. Give them credit for winning the game, but we understand what should've taken place and that shouldn't even have been a close game.
ball everybody excellent test time
They want to get him the ball as much as possible. He's excellent after the catch, so this is going to be a big time test for everybody inside.
guys surprise
It was as big of a surprise to you guys as it was for us that it went down like that.
couple curl dig feels hand honest respect route routes runs speed throws time worries
You respect what he does and his speed and you have to play honest because of his speed, but there is nothing that really worries me. He runs the same routes. It's a go route and he throws his hand up if he feels he has you beat, which most of the time he feels he has you beat. They run a couple of dig routes and curl routes to keep you honest. It's the same thing.
huge stretch
That was a huge, huge stretch for us.
imagine push sure takes whatever
Mentally, I just can't imagine what he's going through right now. But he's tough. He's going to push through this. I'm sure he'll do whatever it takes to get back.
