carry hopefully load practiced ready training
Duce is working this week, hopefully he'll be ready by Sunday, but he is not ready to carry the load and he hasn't really practiced even through training camp,
add aware bailey champ corner felt game good hopefully top
I don't know, that's a good question. I hopefully don't add to that list. Champ Bailey is one of, if not the top corner in the game today. I know I felt that way. We're going to be aware of him, I can tell you that.
drives fifth hand hopefully
Nothing drives me more than to hopefully be able to hand him the fifth trophy.
hopefully improve last week
Hopefully we'll improve from last week to this game. It's a big challenge, but I'd like to think we can play better.
anymore effort good great heck hopefully individual super trying
He's a heck of an athlete. He really is a very good athlete. He was just trying to make a play, and he made a play. It was a great individual effort on his part. It was a great tackle. It was a super play on his part. Hopefully he won't have to do anymore of that.
advantage chance continue drive earlier good hopefully learn
I thought we had a chance earlier in that drive to do that. Hopefully that?s something we?ll learn from and continue to read and take advantage of with Quincy back there. We thought that was a good match-up.
came felt good hopeful opening took
He felt good about what took place when he came out. We're hopeful to have him by the opening of the season.
against caliber cannot dwell football game learn move obviously ruin
In hindsight, obviously you wouldn't want to do that in a game like this. Against this caliber of a football team, you cannot ruin opportunities like that. He understands that. I just told him to let it go, learn from it, and let's move on. Don't dwell on it.
chance diego easily fact left picked playing san says team year
In Denver, they had a chance to win. I think this team could very easily be 4-0, ... I think that says a lot about the fact that they've really picked up where they left off a year ago. I don't feel like we're playing like we did a year ago, but I think San Diego is.
consider fact guys reflective special teammates themselves
In my 14 years, I don't think we've ever had so many guys get votes. As I told the team, it was very reflective of what they thought of their teammates and the fact that they really do consider themselves a team. That is pretty special to get that many guys with two or more votes.
ability course deal good happen job plays respond teams trying weather within
In any big game, a lot of it comes down to an ability to weather storms, to be able to respond to situations. We did a good job down there but we didn't do a very good job up here. It comes down to making plays and trying to be opportunistic and deal with circumstances that happen within the course of a game. With these two teams it's going to come down to execution.
ball fourth fresh hand ideal negative nice quarter
In an ideal world, yes. I don't know how it's always going to unfold. It was nice to be able to have a fresh Jerome Bettis in the fourth quarter (Monday) night. That was a luxury. That's what you'd like to have in an ideal world. When we hand the ball to him, you know there was not going to be a negative play.
fact far knows likes pressure trying
In a lot of respects, we are going to be able to go as far as he is going to take us. I'm not trying to put any pressure on him. That's the fact and he likes that, he knows that.
