aggressive butler chance far faster good healthy last looks number player playing similar wears
(Roman) is healthy and playing a lot faster and more aggressive than he was last year, ... I've had a chance to see the other young kid, Collins, a little bit. He looks like he's going to be a good player for them. He wears the same number as LeRoy Butler (No. 36) and is kind of similar to LeRoy as far as build.
good randy
Randy is in his own league. But there are still a lot of good receivers in the division.
bad good result roller season ups winning
The whole season was emotionally trying. We went through so many ups and downs, on such a roller coaster. It was a season that had a lot of scenarios, good things and bad things. But the end result is we had a winning record, and that's a positive.
adjustment embraced felt good purple weird
That's just what I felt. Now I'm on the good side. It felt a little weird at first, but it's an adjustment that I can make. It felt good to put on the purple and get out there with the fans. They embraced me.
anyone good
I know one thing. If anyone thought I wouldn't look good in purple. Hah, hah. Look at me now.
good side
I may have been on the enemy's side for years, but now I'm on the good side. The Vikings' side.
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.
bad bottom chance division games good nfl playing worst
The good thing is you're playing in a bad division. The bad thing is you are in the worst division in the NFL and you're at the bottom of that division. But you still have 11 games to go. There's still a chance to do some good things.

allow expect good knew motivational players type
(Slowik) was a real good tactical, break-down-the-offense type of coach. We knew what to expect for games. He also was a good motivational coach. Overall, I feel he was a good coordinator for us. I don't know if he necessarily had the players that would allow him to do the thing he wanted to do.
bite games goal win
Our goal is to win the division. Each of these games are must-win games, and they are because they are divisional games, and they come back to bite you at the end of the season,
continue drop feeling game grinding teams though week
Just not panicking, just feeling as though you can continue to play each game week by week and really keep grinding it out. You never know, because the season's so long. Teams are going to drop games, so you never really know how you're going to be in position.
chance decided guy lead money playing promised pull somewhere trigger wherever
Wherever I decided to go I had to go somewhere - money or no money - where we have a quarterback that is young and a guy that can lead you to the promised land, ... Playing with Brett, I know what it's like to have a guy who can pull the trigger and always give you a chance to win.
bowl brought coming either error fix game judgment knowing player plays super team weighed worry
When it comes to a game as big as a Super Bowl and plays can go either way, you never want to have that happen. But that's something that you have to live with, as a player or a coach, knowing that it is going to be weighed on a person's judgment. That's why they brought in replay, to try to take away some of the error in judgment by the referees. But you can't go back and fix everything. You really want to make more plays than the other team so you don't have to worry about the referees coming into play.
