base beauty coming fan fit great hate swinging team terrible wonderful
It's a wonderful day. I was at the airport, swinging my terrible towel. I was with a team with a great fan base now -- they're going to hate me for this -- but I'm with a team with an even better one. The beauty of it is I'm coming to a team that's already great. I'll just try to fit in and be part of this great organization.
beat game goes hat phenomenal played worked
My hat goes off to No. 8. He played a phenomenal game and, single-handedly, he worked to beat us.
adjustment ball came good
It was a very good play by him. He made a good adjustment to the ball and I didn't. I've got to do a better job. When I looked, I thought the ball was going to come to one side. It actually came to the other, which is something they practice.
hall himself ice job john nfl nick somewhere understand
Ice water. He probably doesn't understand right now. He's getting himself a job somewhere if (injured) John Hall comes back. Nick Novak is going to be an NFL kicker.
enjoyed enthusiasm great helped himself morale people players team time
He helped our team morale just to have him out there with the kind of enthusiasm he has. Sometimes people look at players and say, 'Oh, he's big-headed,' and this and that. But he just wanted to play and it really showed and he enjoyed himself and had a great time and it rubbed off on us.
tackled
I look at him like, hmmm, I just tackled him.
hall himself ice job john nfl nick somewhere understand
Ice water, ... He probably doesn't understand right now. He's getting himself a job somewhere if (injured) John Hall comes back. Nick Novak is going to be an NFL kicker.
appreciate concerned everybody pray talked
I talked to everybody, and they got out safely. The only thing I'm concerned about is their being able to get back to their homes, so I'd appreciate it if everybody would pray for them.
great guy line offensive people skill team
When you have a guy like that with a great offensive line and great skill people around him, he is going to thrive. I think it's more so their whole team than one player.
eliminate far game goal stop supposed type
You get the MVP out of the game and you are supposed to stop them, and we didn't. It wasn't really the type of game he wanted to be in. Our goal was to get the MVP out of there. Not as far as injury, but just eliminate him from the game and make them one-dimensional. That is what happened.
bowl definitely egos everybody fair guys player pro wants
We don't have any stars. We don't have a Pro Bowl player on defense, which I don't think is fair because we definitely have guys who play like it. There's no egos on our team. Everybody wants to play everybody.
couple forward good improve kids looking
We're looking forward to that. Hopefully, we get a couple new kids in that are pretty good and improve on what we're already doing.
coming pro veteran
We're coming at him like we're coming at any veteran quarterback. You never know, he may be on his way to a Pro Bowl. You have to play him that way.
continuity gotten guys playing step
We haven't gotten any continuity back there with guys being comfortable playing together. It's tough. That can make you a step slower.
