emulate event exciting football heard knew monday night wasting watch
(Cosell) was the best. When you heard that voice, you knew a big-time event was going on. Still, to this day, no one could ever emulate the things he had done. No one could ever try because they'd be wasting their time. He made it exciting to watch Monday Night Football .
bowl chance field finally football fresh move pro situation skills time
I think it was time for Jake to move out of the situation he was in and get a fresh start. And the Pro Bowl quarterback that you see now is something that's probably been in him all the time. He's finally getting a chance to go out on the football field and put those skills to work.
backs blocking call catch defensive ends football happen means pass picking running stress talk team until whatever zone
That's the first thing we talk about as receivers on this football team: You're not going to catch a pass until you get a block. That's something we stress each and every day. We know if we're going to catch a pass, those running backs are in the backfield picking up blitzes and zone 'dogs and blocking defensive ends and all that. For us, it's a team thing. We don't play receiver; we play football, whatever that means. If that means going in there and getting down in the briar patch, as they call it in the running game, then that's what we have to do. If we so happen to catch a pass, so be it.

bouncing days dwelling guy instead tremendous
He's going to have days like that. I've had them and I'm going to have some more. The thing that would be encouraging is him bouncing back and having one of those tremendous days where you say, 'That's the guy that we're used to seeing' and the guy we want to see. Those are the things you really want to encourage, instead of dwelling on some negatives.
atmosphere league low playoff rethink types win
If you're going to do anything in this league in the playoffs, in January, you have to win these types of games. This is a playoff game, this is a playoff atmosphere and when you come out on the low end of it you really got to rethink what you're doing and how you're doing it and go back to work.

As long as they're chasing us, we're in front. The thing is, we've just got to go back to work.
bodies extra needs pressure suffering time treatment whatever
It is a lot of pressure, but there is pressure on all of us, and the thing is, you have to do whatever you have to do to get yourself back on the field. Sometimes, they don't have time to go and get treatment or they don't have time to do the little extra things to try and get their bodies where it needs to be. I say, 'That's your fault.' The trainers can only treat you if you are there, and if you don't let them know things are happening, you will be the one suffering in the end.
