case couple enjoy preparing ready team turn
I see a team that's ready to turn this thing around. I could sense guys' going out and preparing to enjoy this game. I don't know if that was the case the first couple games.
beat couple feels hand routes runs throws time
He runs the same routes. It's a 'go' route, and he throws his hand up if he feels he has you beat . . . Most of the time he feels he has you beat. They (also) run a couple of 'dig' routes and 'curl' routes to keep you honest. It's the same thing.
again couple drives fact field focused happen honestly hope last loss mind power somebody steps training
I can only hope that loss drives a lot of guys, ... I can honestly say that in my training sessions, my mind was focused on the fact that those last couple of steps off the field was somebody else celebrating once again in a big game. Personally, I don't want that to happen again, and I am going to do everything in my power not to have that happen again.
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.

You always say the sky's the limit. But we kind of know what we can do, and this year we're going to set out to do it.
consistent games lost stayed
We have been through so much as a team, all those big games that we have lost and the way that we have been able to rebound. The thing that has always been consistent with us is that we have always stayed hungry.
worry
We can't worry about the playoffs. We have to worry about the Giants.
kinda throw wanting
Really, I was kinda wanting for them to throw to him more.
almost answering hearing hearts joy phones saw tears walked
I was almost in tears when I walked in there and saw that I was going to be a part of that, answering the phones and hearing the joy in peoples' hearts as they were giving.
far great guy knowing prepared says
Knowing what I know now about him I wouldn't go there, no way. Just be prepared for whatever. He's a great guy as far as a person goes, but he says what's on his mind, so you've got to be prepared for whatever.
best
I would say, the way I've started, that this is the best I've played,

Just pick one. I'll just toss them all in the air and you grab one. There were so many things that happened this year, it's been ridiculous.
