bad continue four games good silly stuff
You got to take the good with the bad and we have to take the stupid, little silly stuff that we continue to do. We're just four games into this.
against answer filling guys lost played ready spots talented
We lost a lot of talent. Shoot, two of our most talented guys played against us. But the guys we have filling those spots are ready to answer the bell.
bright men
They are all bright young men and real hustlers.
backup sure work
To be in a backup role, where I'm not sure if or when I am going to play, I have never done that. I am not sure that would work for me.
disruptive expect
He's a disruptive force. But it's one of those things where you go into it knowing. You expect a challenge, and you have to be up for it.
chicken guy matter maybe nature ride spring understand whether year
I am in year 13. There is no spring chicken in this guy right here, and I understand the nature of the game. I understand it is a young man's game. It is just a matter of whether they want to go with the young guys. Maybe they let me ride off into the sunset.

almost good guys pick players supposed watching
It's almost habitual. When the guys are watching other players who have been there, you kind of pick up the sense of where you are supposed to be and what you're supposed to do and all those good things.
against far good job seen team teams
It was a team protection. We did a good job as far as what could have happened. We've seen him against other teams being very disruptive.
bowl people super walk wall
They walk down that wall down there that has all the Super Bowl memorabilia on it and they have no idea who the people are.
flow forcing maturity mistakes momentum offense patience penalties regardless relying
We're not an offense that can get everything back in one chunk. When you have an offense like that, you are relying on patience. Sometimes maturity is something that allows patience to happen. They weren't forcing us into doing anything we didn't want to do, but regardless the penalties and the mistakes we were making were negating any flow of momentum we had.
