anybody brings coach fox goes great guy listening player
I think each guy does a great job. Each guy brings his own personality to it. We haven't had anybody to where you're up there thinking, 'Wow, that was bad.' Because it comes from the heart, each man. And that's why I think Coach Fox does it. Because we play with each other, and a player listening to a player, that goes a long way.

against anybody definitely next talk team time winning worry
This team is good. We'll see them definitely one more time, and if anybody has anything to do with it, we'll probably see them again. So the next time we play them, we don't have to worry about that. We can talk about something else, we can talk about football. We don't have to worry about not ever winning against him.
We just feel like we've been through a lot of different situations.
