football involved mentioned since
He hasn't mentioned anything other than football since we've been here. If you don't get involved in it with the press, you'd have no idea what was going on.
allow pass plays pressure sit
He has the receivers to make the plays downfield like they've been doing. We want to get the pressure like every other quarterback, but in particular, you have to be able to get to this guy. You can't allow him to just sit back there and pass the ball.

Really, I was kinda wanting for them to throw to him more.
ask brian ear fun hang john loud others pass people phone time yes
Some of them would just hang up. They'd be like, 'Is this Brian Dawkins?' I'd say yes and they would hang up. Others would be loud and I would have to take the phone away from my ear and they'd donate. A lot of time they would ask for different people - 'Could you pass the phone to John Elway?' It was a fun atmosphere.

He is really, really, really quick off the ball.
consistent games lost stayed
We have been through so much as a team, all those big games that we have lost and the way that we have been able to rebound. The thing that has always been consistent with us is that we have always stayed hungry.

We can't worry about the playoffs. We have to worry about the Giants.
confidence game hopefully losing mentality nasty releases rest start taste winning
Winning does something to you. It releases something in you, it's confidence and you get that nasty taste of losing out of your mouth. You get that losing mentality out of your system. That first game is going to be critical. Once we get that first game, hopefully it will be this week, we can start doing what we need to do for the rest of the season.
five knew last next prepare ready rid season short
You knew this wasn't going to be the season you wanted it to be for the last four, five weeks. As a player, you have to have a short memory. You have to be able to get rid of the sting, prepare in the off-season and come out ready for next year.
