dream guys thank true
Thank you guys so much. This has been a dream come true for all of us.
eternity feels field guys hopefully since stay wait
It feels like an eternity since I've been out there. I can't wait to get out there and get on the field so the guys know I'm back, and hopefully I'm back to stay for a while.
ahead change guys loss main means season
We can't change anything, but there's still going to be tomorrow. We're still going to play, and we still have a long season ahead of us. The main thing is that the guys in there are not discouraged. We're disappointed that we didn't get the win, but we know that we still have a long season. All this loss means is that we can't go undefeated.
definitely felt game guys last motivates win
It definitely motivates you to play better and not let your guys down, especially guys like Jerome Bettis, who are in this game to win it. You don't want to let him down like I felt I did last year.
bring defense few guys hard identify move people plays similar
No one plays a similar defense to what we play. I think our guys move around so much it's hard to identify who people are. I think with (the Texans), they kind of show you what they have and then they'll bring a few things off of it.
chance except firing game guys knew locker win
No one thought we could win this game except for the guys in that locker room. We knew if we wanted a chance to win, we had to come out firing on all cylinders.
brain guys last mature patience rely
You have to be mature doing what I do. These guys want to see a leader, not someone immature. I rely on my brain a little more than last year. It's a patience thing.
again guys opportunity relax
It's an opportunity to see these guys again and just relax a little bit.
accepted field guys lead rather talk trying yelling
I think the guys have kind of accepted that with me and I think I try to go on the field and play that way. I'm not a guy who's going to be yelling or ranting and raving and trying to talk to be a leader. I'd rather lead by example. It's made me feel more comfortable out there on the field.
danny guys people second super year
Some guys never get to a Super Bowl, and then there are people like Danny Marino who get there in their second year and don't get back.
gets guy guys inspired losing offense played
He's the guy who gets them going, ... I think they probably played even more inspired when he went down. They started losing guys on offense and defense, and we didn't take advantage.
changes guys lining moving normally people playing safety
Because of all the changes they had to make, they had people all over the place. Guys were going down, they were moving people around. They had a guy who's normally a linebacker (Mike Vrabel) lining up at safety and playing deep.
bunch coming crying guys start
I don't want to start getting teary-eyed. We don't want a bunch of guys crying coming out of the locker-room.
best excited guys hang loosen people
He's one of my best friends on the team, and we hang out all the time, so I know how excited he gets, ... Most people wouldn't know that because he's one of those guys who you have to know pretty well to get him to loosen up.
