bring care goes players
I don't care who we bring in here or what players we have, everything goes through him,
attention attributes brings featured guy last pay physical plays porter randy saw though top year
Last year you saw Porter do his thing a little bit. He was the featured guy and he made some big plays for them . . . Though you have to pay attention to Randy because of all the physical attributes he brings to the game, you still have to pay attention to Porter, because the guy can still go up top on you. He is a big guy (6-2, 220) that can run.

add anybody ask bring brought guys hopefully hugh locker lost replace room year
When you replace a Jeremiah a year ago and try to replace Hugh this year, we would never ask those guys to be those players. We just ask them to bring what they bring to the table, and hopefully it'll add to what we already have. But I would never say anybody could replace what we lost in Hugh. No one person could ever do that for us. Because what he brought wasn't just on the field, but in the locker room also.
cant facing maybe mind mix past run tried
We tried to mix it up as much as possible, ... When hes facing that kind of coverage, maybe he doesnt go out and run like he usually would run. In his mind hes thinking, I cant get past the safety.
ready
We were ready to go from the jump,
facing maybe mixed run takes weapon
We mixed it up. When you're facing that kind of coverage, maybe (Moss) doesn't go out and run like he usually would run. In his mind, he's thinking, well, I can't get past. It takes a weapon away from that offense.
changes crystal mean rebuilding type
There will be some changes this off-season, but in no way does that mean that this is any type of a rebuilding thing. That is one thing I want to make crystal clear.
ask guy mirror
Each guy in here has to look in the mirror and ask themselves:
accept cause drive lose mistake playoffs pressure rise starts team
There's pressure that starts to rise in the playoffs because you know you can make a mistake that will cause your team to lose the game. You have to have that pressure drive you and accept that pressure.
enjoy minute point questions talking
Questions are questions. I made it a point that I'm going to enjoy every minute of this thing ... even talking to you guys.
needed
Did I do everything I needed to do?
deal handle move ready
You get ready to roll. There are things you have to deal with and as a professional. You handle it and move on.
lock road tough
This thing's not going to be easy. We can't just think that because we've went there two years in a row, it's a lock for us to get back. It's going to be a tough road to get back there again.
