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.
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.

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.

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.

This is a different team than we've had the last couple of years. This team has a little something to it.

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.
