cannot five football guy guys knows six throw
He didn't throw a punch. He's the most intelligent guy on this football team, ... He knows what he can and cannot do. He did not throw a punch. Five or six other guys did, though.
bolt credit guys hit lightning line side wearing
They hit him too many times, ... and that's a credit to those guys over on the other side of the line of scrimmage wearing that lightning bolt on their helmet. We just have to get better.
four guys improved last run three tough
I thought it would be tough to run on these guys like we have because they've improved their down four (linemen). They had more than just three different guys than they had last year.
days degrees few four guys oh severe three until year
Oh yeah, sure. There are degrees of sprains and we've had three or four of them this year already and guys come back and play. But you don't know until you get a few days away as to how severe it is.

Ambrose, a real solid guy, will retire unless someone picks him up. He's a fine guy and he worked his fanny off to make our football team.
guy leave time year
It's the right time for me to go. It's the right time for me to leave the Chiefs. They don't want a guy where every year they say 'Is he going to be here?' It's just not fair.
coach coaches game good guy himself involved joe miss parts people problems surrounded time
The kind of guy Joe is and the coach he was at the time he left, I think he got like all of us do: You miss it. You miss the competitive parts of the game and the people involved in the game. I told him he wouldn't have any problems if he surrounded himself with good coaches and good people.

Listen, I can leave in any way I want to leave,
convenient knows lives offense smart
He knows the offense and he lives in town. He's convenient and a smart guy.

That's 4.3 miles with the ball under your arm. We brought him here with great hope and respect but no way could you anticipate him doing what he's done.
bonus hunt love opportunity people work
And I appreciated it very much. To have the opportunity to work for Lamar and Norma Hunt and work with Carl and these people I love very much has been a real, real bonus for me.
player receiver
He showed every player out here what he's all about on every snap. That's what a No. 1 receiver does.
john moving
John has been suspended. We are moving forward. I really can't say any more than that right now.
allowing good seems speak
He's better, he's coherent. They're not allowing him to speak to anybody. We have no other information, but that seems to be good news.
