accept definitely headstrong
We're definitely a headstrong group. We accept all challenges.
backs definitely describe games good great running three words
There's not a lot of words to describe him. Just put the film on, and you see what you have in this guy. There's a lot of great backs that have come through this league. For him to outdistance them all in the first three games of his career, he should feel good about it. We definitely feel good that he's running for us.
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.
approach attitude bit definitely evolved five four good guys players position scheme similar understand
They are definitely legit. They have good players at every position and what they do is pretty similar to what we did four or five years ago. I think we've evolved a bit from where we were. They have guys who understand it's not all about the scheme - it's also about your attitude and the way you approach the game.
couple definitely golf hit nerves realize shake
The nerves definitely hit you. It hit me a couple of times. You get over it, you shake it off. You have to realize it's just a golf game.
definitely good guys works
It works out in the end for the good guys and he's definitely one of those.
advantage definitely guy hands seemed sees throws
It definitely seemed different. Obviously, without Randy, they don't have that guy where he sees an advantage, throws his hands up and he just launches it.
knowledge ready robinson rookie seen time
We have some knowledge of Marcus Robinson from his time in Chicago, and then they've got that rookie Troy Williamson . We haven't seen a lot of him, but we do know he's a straight-line blazer, so we have to be ready for that.
found gave goals regardless win
That was one of our goals, to win the NFC South, and we found a way to do it. Regardless of what 2004 was all about, 2005 gave us a new opportunity.
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.
running
We think they're going to try and get back their running game.
expecting good guys prove wrong year
This year we've got a lot of young guys that are expecting to play. I don't see anything wrong with that as long as they prove they are good players.
forced mistakes obviously
We obviously forced him into a lot of mistakes.
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.
