Kevin has been extremely durable just year after year. Kevin is one of those guys who understands what winning is and knows how to win and can help everybody along that way.
albert deal doubt forced forces helps knock obviously people playing trying
There is no doubt we're much better with Albert in there, ... Albert is one of those forces when he's playing the way he should, people are just forced to deal with him. Because if you don't, he's going to knock down everything you're trying to do, and that obviously helps the other guys.
adjust bring coach good hard help somebody tools
From an organizational standpoint, it's hard to bring in a coach and adjust to that coach. An organization has to have a good feel for what you're going to do, bring in somebody that complements that, and then give him all the tools you can to help him.
accomplish both case defense ethic free helps himself intensity kyle last next parties pleased season several work worked
We're very pleased to have Kyle here for the next several years. Last season he exemplified himself as an important part of our defense through his work ethic and intensity on and off the field. It helps us to get something worked out with him before free agency, and I think both parties in this case were able to accomplish what they wanted with the deal.

I think rightly or wrongly from my standpoint, you like to see someone who has been through it. When you get through the postseason, it's a different world. If you've never been there, it's a learning curve. You have to learn and understand it. If someone has been through it on several occasions or just once, they step in with some advantage.
cause deem enters fact fight guy hit locker mean room waver
It doesn't mean that we hit on 100 percent, that doesn't mean that every guy that enters the locker room is an angel. But that doesn't cause you to waver from the fact that you still deem it important, and you still look for it and you fight to get it.
knew pay time won
We didn't get the only thing that matters, the ring, but we won some games. The whole time we knew we'd have to pay the piper.
point possible time trying
We're trying to standardize everything we're doing as much as possible so that at some point in time we'll be able to evaluate.
decided good rather took year
We were still good enough that we decided let's give it another shot. But we got to this year and said it's time. Rather than try to tippy-toe our way through it, we just took it all in one big shot.
