shot
We had no shot of making that one. It was just out of sequence.
field game giving guys looks passion separate stopping sure
There are times we look like the Packers of old, motoring down the field and stopping them on defense. And then there are more times where it just looks like guys are going in separate directions. You've got to play the game with passion and fervor, and I'm not sure we're giving it all we've got.
certainly division dust gives hard left team
No one's left us in the dust in our division. There could be a 4-1, 5-0 team in the division who would be hard to catch. But we certainly have not been left in the dust, and it gives us a shot.
adrenaline ball feels games quicker rob seems smooth snaps
It seems like in games with the adrenaline you have going, Rob (Davis) snaps it quicker and I come to the ball a little faster, so I think he feels he has to get it down a little faster, which isn't the case. He can be smooth and put it down.
forget guided hesitant last nfl swing though
I was a little hesitant (on the 50-yarder). I didn't swing away on that one and kind of guided it through. We'll be fine. You forget that even though he was around last year, this was his first NFL game.
recovery
This has nothing to do with B.J., because I think he's made the recovery and will be fine,
extra few games pressure worry
I didn't want to put any extra pressure on him the first few games punting-wise where he would worry about holding, but we have had enough botches where it's necessary,
aware definitely happened josh last satisfied
I don't think Josh would ever say he was satisfied with what happened here last year, but he definitely was well aware of it,
consistent field good great hopefully kick means range swinging wind yards
By no means was 49 yards into that wind in range (for us). I know we should have made the kick (we missed). We had a great first field goal. We're not as consistent as we've been over the years, but we'll just keep swinging away. Hopefully we get some good breaks.
bottom high line school whatever whether
The bottom line is, from when I got here to how it is now, there's not that dominant, emotional, you're-going-to-beat-the-heck-out-of-whoever's-on-the-field (feeling), whether it's Ashwaubenon High School or the world champs. For whatever reason, it's a different team, and it's not there.
days
It was just one of those days ? should have made the kicks.
felt fresh last second time year
I think last year with everything that happened, it was time for a fresh start. The second we got here this morning, it felt like the right place to be.
acquainted coach everybody expect good great head honored owner people quick special teams today
When I started to get acquainted with the people here today in this organization, they're incredible. From the head coach to the special teams coach to the owner to everybody involved, they're just great people that this organization has in there. We were honored that they wanted us to come and be a part of it and be a part of the transition. We expect good things pretty quick here.
break figure league players replace team year
Yeah, things happen. It's one of those things where you just kind of figure out what you need that year and go with it. Sometimes you can replace players with better players, sometimes you break even and sometimes you don't. You look around with any team in the league and that's the way it goes.
