balanced element football half hands numbers people run shut taken talk watch
People can look at our run-to-pass ratio, ... but I will say this: Watch us in the first half (this season) because we're still a balanced football team.

It distorts the numbers a little bit, so talk about the numbers in the first half.
five football list names national numbers respect retired sixth tremendous
Brett Favre is what's right about the National Football League. I have nothing but tremendous respect for him. I think they've got five names up there (on the list of retired numbers at Lambeau Field), and he'll be the sixth one to go up there, no doubt.

We went back to the pure basics, with the mindset that has allowed us to get to this point. We can't change that now.
