kinda throw wanting
Really, I was kinda wanting for them to throw to him more.
happened injuries
For me, what happened this year, with this team, with all the injuries and stuff, I can't put too much into it.
found four seven three
If that's the case, why did it take seven years? It would have been three years or four years into it that they found out what we're doing offensively and defensively. I think that has more to do with our play. You have to put two and two together.
gun
He has a gun for an arm, but the things he can do with his legs, man.
chasing gun next number throw time tired understand
He has a gun for an arm, but the things he can do with his legs. For one thing, he can fly. Number two, chasing him down is going to get you tired for the next play. So, you kind of would say you want him to throw the ball, but at the same time you understand that he has a gun for an arm.
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.
quick
He is really, really, really quick off the ball.
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.

coming game reason starts talked tough win
We can go out and win every game. We talked about winning; it starts with the first game. We have another tough game coming up and I see no reason why we can't win that one.
coming game monday next reason starts talked tough winning won
We talked about winning out. It starts with the first game, and we won today. We have another tough game coming up next Monday (Seattle) and I see no reason why we can't win that one.
games lost
We've been through so much before as a team, all those big games that we have lost and the way that we have been able to rebound,
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.
close felt knew needed next pain played talked year
But I mean, I felt their pain. How close we were, for that many years, to get to that point, and then lose it? We talked our way to where we wanted to be and we played our way to where we wanted to be. From the year before, we knew where we needed to be to get that next level. Then we got there and we couldn't capitalize.
