beginning bought everybody focus guys kept telling
That's what I kept telling everybody. I told the guys from the beginning to focus on what we can do in 2005 and not what we did in 2004; and everybody bought into it.
benefit either everybody gets guess happen hard opinion point present situation until
So restructuring wouldn't benefit anybody. It's hard to say what I'd say (in Brooks' shoes). I guess the situation would have to present itself. Until it does, I don't have an opinion either way. It'll happen eventually. Everybody gets to that point in their career. I don't know if I'm there yet.
definitely good guys works
It works out in the end for the good guys and he's definitely one of those.
home playing reason
There were a lot of reasons, and it probably had to do with the same reason we went 5-11, not necessarily because we were playing at home or playing on the road,
everybody excited
Everybody is excited about where we are right now. It's a 12-man dance. We've got one of the tickets, so let's go party.
everybody hates likes
If you win, everybody likes each other. If you lose, everybody hates each other. It's pretty simple.
anyone locker outside
Not to anyone outside of the locker room.
acting feisty hands happen point running trying
It was just two guys, testosterone running high, acting like idiots, ... I was trying to get his hands off me. You live with those things. Obviously, you don't want them to happen at that point in the game, but I'm a feisty dude, he's a feisty dude. It's football.
breeds call definitely doubt football good guys last losing winning
There's no doubt about it. I think winning breeds camaraderie. We had camaraderie last year, but losing didn't really make it that much better. There's definitely a combination of the two, the young guys and the old guys. The balance, I guess, you could call it. It's really good on this football team.
bunch guys
You never like to think you're rebuilding. But if you have a bunch of young guys who have to play? Yeah, you're rebuilding.
aside ball blocks line man mike offense
That guy's like Mike Alstott beefed up, ... Aside from being a big man in general, he catches the ball well and he blocks well. They line him up all over the field. He's as important to that offense as anybody.
defensive guys hunt hustling
I could see all their defensive guys really hustling that day in Tampa. They hunt like we hunt.
few five four freed hit obligatory passes success
Without Moss, Daunte has a few more options. He always had his four or five obligatory passes to No.84. I think it's freed him up a little bit. In preseason, he hit a lot of different receivers and he had a lot of success with it.
care everybody likes takes winning
Winning is always first. Winning is always first. When you win, everybody likes each other, and that takes care of chemistry.
