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.
guys seven twice
Some of them have things they have to do, but about seven guys will be going with me. I should have thought twice about that, but that's all right.
credit deserve guys throwing
When you have Brett Favre throwing you the ball, you aren't going to get the credit you deserve. No question, those guys deserve more credit.
came guys halftime heads
We came in at halftime and a lot of guys had their heads down,
game goes guys leader step
We still were in the game. When your leader goes out like that, your other guys have to step up and try to make something happen.
anyone faces guys happy looking main wearing
Strange, very strange. A lot of new faces over there. I'm looking around at the guys like, 'Who is that?' The main thing is I didn't see anyone wearing (No.) 42, so I'm happy about that.
coming energy far fresh fun great guys team year
I'm having a blast, ... I think just having a fresh start, coming to a new team; the energy that this team has and the organization has as far as expectations. The guys I'm around are just great guys. This year I'm having the most fun I've had in any year in the league.
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.
call encouragement guys hopefully
I'm going to call all those guys and hopefully give them some encouragement.
bit playing pride
I said a little bit about going out and playing with pride,
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,
came chance win
I'm shocked. When I came here, I thought we'd have a chance to win a championship, and right now it doesn't look like we have a chance at all.
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.
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.
