committed example older player totally tremendous worked workouts
You could take every player on our roster and put them through his workouts and they would all play longer. He didn't get older and work less. He got older and worked harder. That's what enabled him to play so long. To me, he's a tremendous example of what you can do if you're totally committed to doing something.
bring corners defensive include packages people running stopping stuff
I think we'll be better at stopping stuff like that. We'll have better recognition on the part of our defensive line. Our other packages include some things that bring people off the corners and sometimes make you leery of running quarterback (bootlegs).

I think we do ... as good as the best job in the National Football League of making sure players are aware of their vulnerability, their profile. There's no place to hide in Kansas City.

harassed key knocked last less major maximum pass passing protection stuff takes tight time tony week
Last week we did a lot of maximum protection. Tony was in pass protection a lot. Also, tight end stuff takes a little more time downfield. If you get harassed in our play-action passing and that kind of stuff where Tony's a major key in, and the quarterback's getting knocked around, you use less of that.

Larry Johnson has already carried the load. He knows he can do it. He just doesn't have a Priest Holmes backing him up like he backed up Priest Holmes.
deeply evaluate misses scouts situation somebody time wrote
I think every time someone misses on somebody that glaringly, they go back and evaluate their reports, evaluate the scouts that wrote the reports. They deeply evaluate the whole situation better and see where they made a mistake, or if they did.
