athlete college skills
If you want to be an athlete, then getting good grades, going to college, and developing your intellectual skills are important.
reading young
When I was young, I didn't like to read. I would have much rather been outside doing something than been inside reading about it.
football team fields
I enjoy watching football on TV. Many times I can visualize the whole field, even on the TV screen, because I still know enough about what the teams are doing.
team thinking games
I do not think being a coordinator is a requirement, but it does give you some advantages. You get used to working with half the team and you go through the game-planning and decision-making processes.
ball bet defense last looks operate running whatever
With the (defensive) looks we're getting, I would bet we'll end up running the ball more than we did last year. We feel like we can operate whatever the defense allows.
added allowing bob corey couple everybody faster guys healthy jackson marlin playing year
We have a couple guys who we added -- Corey Simon, Bob Sanders being healthy all year and playing, and Marlin Jackson -- but more than that, it's just everybody one year better and playing our assignments just a little better that's allowing us to play faster and a little more physical.
eight last reasons sat saying stay sure talked win
We've really not talked about it. I think that's one of the reasons we've been able to stay loose. We've really not sat here saying for the last eight weeks, 'Wouldn't it be great.' I'm sure if we win this one and get 14, I'm sure it will be talked about a little more.
beat fact half hopefully later month rely turns
We can't rely on the fact that we beat them once before. It's a month and a half later and hopefully it turns out the same way. But we're going to have to play the game.
coach deserve guys happen helped players seven system work
Those guys deserve everything they get. They have been in the same system for more than seven years now and that part has really helped them. But they work at it and they're very professional all the way around. You couldn't coach two players that you could want this to happen more. They deserve every accolade because they're professionals on and off the field.
coach deserve guys happen players
Those guys deserve everything they get. You couldn't coach two players that you would want this to happen for more.
hope
We hope he's ready, ... He's doing a little better every day.
september week win
You don't win championships in September or October. You don't win them in week eight. You don't win them with one game.
crowd front home season turned
We're disappointed the way this season turned out, disappointed not to play better in front of our home crowd today. But we'll survive.
defend michael offense people special tailor willing
Vince Young is a special, special guy. If you're willing to tailor your offense to what he can do well, people are going to have to defend things they've never had to defend before, even with Michael Vick.
