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.

creating foundation guys hardy john laid looked physical standard trying type
We looked at that standard of Hardy (Nickerson) and John (Lynch) and the Rufus Porters of the world. Those guys laid the foundation of the standard that we're trying to live up to. We know we have to get back to it. It's that physical type of football. Safeties capping off piles, creating turnovers. We're getting there. We're getting there.
