bit hard start trying
We were trying too hard to start fast, but sometimes when you try to do too much it can be a little bit of a detriment.
everybody field happen knows marvel watching
I marvel watching him every week. He's a perfectionist. He probably knows what's going to happen on the field before everybody else knows what's going to happen.
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.
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.
adjustment guys
Guys are going to make the adjustment to different coaches, because it's their job.
pleasure turned watching
He turned it on. It was a pleasure watching him.
adjustment defense ended lose move pass people somebody
Our pass defense suffered, immediately, like that game. We ended up having to move a lot of other people around. It's an adjustment when you lose somebody like that.
bottom matter ugly whether win
No matter how we get it done, whether it's ugly or it's pretty, a win is a win. That's the bottom line.
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.
acting feisty guys running triple
It was two guys with their triple testosterone running high, acting like idiots. I'm a feisty dude, and he's a feisty dude.
couple last team
This is a different team than we've had the last couple of years. This team has a little something to it.
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.
