absorb afraid decide happened help prepared until
I am afraid I'm not going to be much help to you right now. I am not prepared to give you a lot of observations until I absorb this and look at the film and decide what happened and how we are going to go forward.
examining fast happened light mechanism pinned players quite shoe strong support swimming turned
Kyle's, for instance, would've happened in a swimming pool. The way that thing got pinned and turned had nothing to do with the turf whatsoever, ... What we're examining very closely, quite frankly, are the shoes. The players all want, just like the padding, as little a shoe, as light a shoe, as fast a shoe as they can get. But the shoe also is a very strong support mechanism for the foot.
addressing camp degree entire forward happened legacy looking move needs proud reason spent start sure team
I'm sure it does to a degree for the players, ... I know it does for me, but you don't start camp with that mentality. We've spent an entire offseason addressing and looking very candidly at why that happened and addressing the reason for it. This team needs to move forward very aggressively. We're very proud of the legacy we have here, but this team's going to have a new identity, it really is. It's different than any team we've had.
clearly control emotion giving happened intensity
Clearly what happened out there was giving into the emotion of the situation. Passion, emotion and intensity are good, but they've always got to be under control and we clearly didn't have it today.
anytime exactly free grown happened legal lock until
These are grown men, I can't lock them up and put them away 24-7. He had free time. Until we know exactly what happened -- there are legal liabilities here -- but anytime someone has free time they had better act responsibly. You can't do it any other way.

the parameters are set: Take number 21, take number 23, add them together and cut it in half. Anything beyond that is just hard to understand.
brings buddy dedication fighting football grew love night passionate players possibly respond
The players love his passion, they love his dedication, ... Rex grew up in this game, in as passionate a football home, a la Buddy and his brothers, as you could possibly imagine. Talking, arguing, fighting over football every night at dinner. He brings that passion with him, and the players respond to that.
argue cuss dog game good plans
We would argue and dog cuss each other about game plans every week. We would get at each other. In the end, we'd be bloody, but we'd have a good game plan.
bad gets plan point
There comes a point when it's just not prudent; too many bad things can happen, ... We have a plan to modify it if it gets that bad.
common quite respond
I don't respond to that. That's the most common observation, and I don't know how you quite substantiate that.
advantage backs biggest fresh late stay
To a degree, the biggest advantage is you stay fresh and are able to tag-team the backs a little bit, especially late in the season.
came deal good great next obviously plain spot week work
We got a lot of work to do plain and simple. This bye week didn't look to be in a good spot when it first came out, but obviously right now it's what we need because we have a great deal of work this next two weeks.

You have to talk to Ozzie about that one. If he's the highest rated guy on the board, we'll take him.
certainly question
We certainly have the capability, no question about it. Those are our aspirations.
