affect business happen side
There is a business side of the game. You may write about it, we may read about or see it on TV, but it does not affect what is going to happen between those lines.
breaks happened hoping praying training
Oh, yeah, a tad bit. To have the things that have happened this off-season and going into training camp, it has been a lot different than anything I've experienced. I'm hoping and praying that nothing else breaks out.
happens hard intent moss possession ran route run top waiting
Moss is spectacular, we all know that. But with me waiting over the top for him most of the afternoon, you could see the frustration in his eyes, in the way he ran his routes. That's not something that happens with T.O. Every route run is hard and crisp. Every possession has an intent to it.
again couple drives fact field focused happen honestly hope last loss mind power somebody steps training
I can only hope that loss drives a lot of guys, ... I can honestly say that in my training sessions, my mind was focused on the fact that those last couple of steps off the field was somebody else celebrating once again in a big game. Personally, I don't want that to happen again, and I am going to do everything in my power not to have that happen again.
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.
game happen knows next time
We take it day to day. Who knows what will happen any time - now, next week, before Game 5?
air grab happened pick toss
Just pick one. I'll just toss them all in the air and you grab one. There were so many things that happened this year, it's been ridiculous.
blown defensive game happens hard mental plan running start
It's hard to say, ... Some of them are blown assignments. Mental mistakes. When that happens as a defense, we're all beaten. Not just that one person. We have to start running our defensive game plan to perfection. Right now, we're not doing that.
defensive definitely excited game given guys happen hooking knowing love player receiver type waiting
That's something special, to have the type of quarterback that Donovan is and to have the type or receiver that Terrell is. For those guys to keep hooking up game after game, and to go into every game knowing that is potentially a touchdown waiting to happen at any given point, as a defensive player you love that. I'm definitely excited for those guys and the way they've been able to click.
filter given happened opinions saw starts
You saw what happened this year. It can happen. It starts to filter through. Different opinions are given out, and things happen that shouldn't happen.
pressure putting side
We've got to get back to putting pressure on the other side of the ball.
ball certainly coming gets guy opened
Thornburg is coming up and making some big hits. He's a guy who hustles to the ball and is always around the ball when he gets in the game. He has certainly opened my eyes.
risk risking speaks stay team thinks toughness
To risk what he is potentially risking to want to stay out on the field, that's just the toughness that he has. That really speaks to what he thinks of this team and what he is as a player.
fourth game team understand
We just have to understand that that?s not who we are, ... Who we are is a team that?s usually into the game in the fourth quarter.
