appear coming deep dire guess morning regards relief sigh situation
I think we'll all have a deep sigh of relief in regards to the diagnosis. I guess the dire situation we thought we had coming in here this morning doesn't appear to be that right now.
bypass chance drafting fortunate high picking player premier sitting
I think we were very fortunate to be sitting there with Ben. You don't ever want to be drafting that high too often, but we were picking that high, and when you have a chance to get a premier player like that, you can't bypass him.
ball fortunate honest
I think we were just fortunate to have the ball last, to be honest with you.
both phase respect teams
I think both teams have a lot of respect for each other. I know in our minds, we're going to have to play well in every phase of the game.
caught deviate fact focus football game home looking mentally mind needs playoff prepare start team
I think it's very important you don't get caught up in all the 'what if' scenarios. I think our football team needs to prepare mentally to play this football game like it's a home playoff game. The fact is if we don't win, we may not go anywhere. If you get caught up, deviate from that focus and start looking at other scenarios, you start cluttering your mind with things that are very, very dangerous.
appreciate came dealing games help knowing prepare standpoint types
It has been a help from the standpoint of knowing how to prepare for these types of games, being in important games and dealing with adversity. I think it is important to appreciate where you are and know where you came from.

I think throughout the course of these playoffs, I think we're a football team. We have had really great weeks of work. We're playing our best football at the right time of the year. It was tough to do what we had to do to go to the three places and win those games. They were all challenges in themselves.

I went over it and over it and over it, really hammered on it. When I thought I'd mentioned it enough, I made sure I mentioned it again.
saw sure
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. He saw something in me I'm not sure I saw in myself.
allow good max playing
Kendall is getting better and better. Him working with Max ( Starks , right tackle) is only going to allow them to get more comfortable. They're getting some very good playing time, but I feel very good about that right side.
certainly comments conspiracy game
Joey's comments at the end of the game were certainly made out of frustration. But there's no conspiracy or things of that nature. That's ridiculous.
based couple few good last looking ready seen
Joey's been looking good the last couple of days. He's not ready to play the whole game. But, based on what I've seen the last few days, he'll start.

emotional football game gets guy harness joey leader love people plays respectful team unique
Joey is the emotional leader for our football team without question. He is the kind of guy that gets us going. We have some unique personalities and Joey is unique in his own sense. I've never been one to try and harness guys. I just want them to be respectful of the game and of the opponents. I love a team that plays with emotion, plays with passion. I love being around people that love to do that and Joey does it in his own way and without a doubt, Joey is the emotional leader for our team.
