focus gain lewis lose people player prefer ray step
It's huge, but you gain some things when you lose a player of that caliber. There are people that have to step up; we did it in 2002, we have this year. We'd prefer not to go through it, but we'll focus on the things we've been able to do with Ray Lewis and the people we have out there, and we'll get a much better idea of what their abilities are.
intention
It's our intention to live up to the contract.
against betting fans jets line rocking upbeat
They have a right to be disappointed in me and the way we've played, but I'm betting that our fans when we line up against the Jets are going to be rocking and rolling. We better give them something to be upbeat about. If we can deliver, I think we'll be off and running.
feels player risk signs sure
You don't want to put a player at risk. He feels good. We just have to make sure everyone else signs off on it.
grew happy mistakes
You can't make mistakes like that in the first half. I'm happy with how he responded, and we grew. He grew individually, and we grew as a team.
brings emotional enjoy great perspective trying valued veteran
There isn't a person in this organization that doesn't enjoy having Deion Sanders here and doesn't think he isn't a valued part of what we are trying to do. It's been a joy to have him here. Deion can still play, there's no question. But what he brings to the team, from a veteran perspective and an emotional standpoint, is of great value to us.
final interact quite score
It really is about how you play, how you interact with one another, the things you overcome. The final score is always important. These are competitive guys. But is it the most important thing? Quite frankly, no.
concerns game good intensity passion quite seem step team time
I told the team before the game they didn't quite seem to have the passion and intensity you need to have every time you step on the field. That's something this team is usually good at. That concerns me a little bit.
answer facts questions
It's one of those questions I can't answer specifically because I don't have the facts,
adjust comfort great hopefully last logical nice team zone
It's the logical choice. Kordell was great for us last year. A great team member, understands the role. Hopefully there's enough carry-over for him, verbiagewise, that he can adjust quickly. It's a nice comfort zone having him back.
severe
It's always more severe than it sounds. We'll have to see on the toe.
data draw follows obviously
It's another game, another set of data to draw from. This one is obviously very positive; that's why it's important he follows it up with another one.
deal faith great knowledge knows phase plays solid supposed vertical
They're going to try to play-action and make vertical plays down the field. We've got a great deal of faith in Chad. He has knowledge of the defense, he knows what he's supposed to be doing. He's been solid for us in every phase we've put him in.
based calls certain compared defensive dictated focused lewis runner style
They're going to be very focused on a Jamal Lewis when he's in the game, and their defensive calls will be dictated by that to a certain degree, based on what they think we're going to do or the style of runner that Jamal is, compared to Chester Taylor.
