We need to look at some players that we don't want to let get out of here for lack of a good solid look, ... We need to get some key players -- Jamal, Peter and Todd -- that first good initial hit. That is a huge priority. We have got to see if we can have a certain continuity about us.
drops start stay
Well, if quarterback drops start going to 40 yards, then we're going to be concerned. As long as they stay in that 10-yard level, we're going to be OK.
actual itself process rules team tired wait work
We'll have to wait and see what the actual circumstances are, we've got to let the process work itself out. I kind of get tired of having to say that all the time. We're not going to prejudge. He didn't violate any team rules because he was on his own.
beat compare good knew people problem
With Young, you knew we were going to beat him up. He was just too good to be true. The problem that I see, personally, is I don't know who you compare him to. I think that makes people uncomfortable.

We've had a lot of success with a certain profile, ... I'm not sure that as much as we've tried to change the profile a little bit -- and I think we have enhanced it, I think we've thrown the ball a little bit better -- it hasn't been as productive. I think we can build on that, but our profile should remain the same: Play good defense and run the ball well, which we haven't done in two games. That certainly has to be a focus.
anymore bring caught focus impart intensity last lesson lived message overcame reverse
We overcame it, so that's the lesson to impart to my guys. Not that they need to bring anymore intensity and focus to the game. Don't get caught up in the circumstances of the other team. That message was lived in reverse for us last year.

We'll just continue to push him through it, put him through his paces and see if we can get him to that next level of conditioning.
