certainly ground happens hope starting wants zero
I think he really wants to be here. He really wants to be back with us. You never know, but I would certainly hope it happens for us. If we get Duane back, and you look at our defense, what we still have left, we're not starting at ground zero with that group. And that's the perception.
act coach great knew learning mike rookie starting
When you're starting out as a rookie coach with those two, my plea was, 'Act like you're learning something, OK, so I can keep my job.' They had something like 35 years experience. I would say, 'Tell me what you want to do and act like it was my idea.' They were great that way. You knew Mike would be a great coach.
due faith kyle led left open period starter starting
Anthony Wright is the starter for an undetermined period right now due to injury. Kyle Boller is our starting quarterback. If I left it open to interpretation, if I left that in a way that led to speculation that we did not have the faith in Kyle, that our faith is wavering, that was not my intent.
approach fruitful guy starting telling until
Anthony Wright is our starting quarterback and he will be our starting quarterback until circumstances change, ... That's the only approach we can take. It's not fruitful to tell a guy, 'You're the guy part-time,' or telling the other guy, 'You're out for the year.' You just don't do that.
approach boot far forward game starting until watching
Anthony Wright is our starting quarterback, and he will be our starting quarterback until circumstances change. That's the only approach we can take. Kyle's going to be in his boot watching the game this weekend. That's as far forward as we're going to go with it.

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.
guy highest rated talk
You have to talk to Ozzie about that one. If he's the highest rated guy on the board, we'll take him.
