anyone good
I know one thing. If anyone thought I wouldn't look good in purple. Hah, hah. Look at me now.
worry
I know I didn't do anything wrong. So I don't worry about it at all.
brought careers perform performing talent
It has been shocking, because I know that we have the talent out there to perform better. With the careers that we've had and the resumes we brought into this team, we're not performing at that level.
definitely experience kindness past pieces talent teams win won youth
Being on teams that won in the past I can kind of sense when a team has the pieces in place to win and win it for a while. And, with the youth we have and the depth, the experience and the talent we definitely can win here for a while.
bay cheer green hours ironic loyalty pride problem sunday swallowing three wearing
I never really thought it would come to this day. I don't have any loyalty there anymore. It will be ironic that I have to cheer for those guys, but I have no problem swallowing my pride for about three hours on Sunday and wearing a Green Bay Packer hat.
arm dan john knowledge last prime rifle wear year
I don't really think he has (declined). Last year was a prime example. This year has been pretty much the same thing. I don't really think you can say a quarterback like that can wear down. It's like John Elway or Dan Marino. When you have that rifle arm and knowledge of the game, you can't really wear down.
basically bay believed came green people picked pocket sat saw saying sideline year
I never believed people saying he wasn't a pocket passer. I saw first-hand from the sideline that year when he came up to Green Bay and basically sat in the pocket and picked us apart.
last
How many sacks did we have last week?
came chance division expected good identity team thinking win
I came here thinking we had a chance to win the championship. Right now, it doesn't look like we even have a chance to win, ... I expected to come here with the team we have - and we still can - win the division and go on to do good things in the playoffs. But right now, I don't know what this team is. I don't know what kind of identity this team has.
answer anybody bit case credit ended field finally future games hurt last playing point themselves
I can't answer that. There were times when to his credit he wanted to play and I wouldn't play him because of the injury. And then (it) finally got to the point where we ended up playing him. But we never put anybody on the field with the idea that they could hurt themselves in future games or years and that wasn't the case last year. But to his credit, he was chomping at the bit to play and we ended up playing him.
coverage improve
That's something we have to improve on. We've got to tighten our coverage up. But we also have to improve at getting to the quarterback.
coaches core forward guys left looking main
The new coaches will be the main thing. We've had some turnover on the roster, but we still have the main core of guys left on the team. It's something that the guys are looking forward to, working with and getting to know their coaches.
six
It's just not where I want it to be, but I've still got five, six days,
agreed gave opinion opinions
Not at all, ... Everyone gave their opinion on what they thought, and all of those opinions agreed with me.
