division guys help leader nobody responsibility team thinks undefeated understand
Right now, nobody thinks we have character, so who cares? It's my responsibility and other guys' responsibility on the team to help guys understand where we're at right now. You're not in a division with an undefeated team. You're in a division where the leader is 2-3.
guys step
It will just be one of those things where guys have to step up.
coaches good great guys head job quality ted
You've got a lot of good coaches on this staff. Ted Cottrell did a great job this year. I think he'd be a great head coach. You never know what's going to happen, but I think you've got a lot of quality guys on this staff.
field glad opportunity
I was glad we got back on the field because in those situations, you want an opportunity to make a play.
bad heads heard
Because we have been so humbled, because we have heard so many bad things about ourselves, you know our heads won't ever get big again.
fans game given honor last mom purple sister wear whatever
I have given it some thought that this could be my last game with the Vikings. My mom and sister are coming, and I want this game to be special. And whatever happens, I want the fans to know it's been an honor to wear the purple and gold.

I don't ever see that on film. I see the same guy. His last couple games -- that kind of speaks for itself. And you can't forget last year. He had 4,000 yards and two 1,000-yard receivers.
along totally
I can't even say anything now. I'm totally empty, along with my teammates.
adds certainly chief confident general glad presence time troops
No question. We're certainly appreciative. We're glad to have him. I think his presence has done a lot for our team. I think what he adds is a confidence. He's very confident in his ability, and any time your chief and your general is confident, the troops will follow.
ball coming flag game guy official rule time trying turn turning tweak
You've got to tweak your game to the rule changes. Now it's a flag if you turn into a guy while trying to make a play. It didn't used to be that way. I got flagged one time for turning my head. 'You didn't turn it away,' the official said. Now why would I want to turn away from a ball that was coming my way?
game reality
The reality is we're one game out of first place.
beginning call defense everybody learning level players playing system ted
We're a better defense than we were at the beginning of the year, and that's because we've got so many young players learning a new system ( Ted Cottrell 's) and so many young players playing at this level for the first time. I don't know what everybody else would call it. I'd call it progress.
agents decisions free leaders newman players veteran
I like the players we've got here. It's important to see what they do with some of the veteran leaders who are free agents like Keith Newman and Lance Johnstone. There are a lot of decisions to be made.
certainly happy job success
Certainly when you look at the success of our league, you have to be happy with the job (Tagliabue) has done.
