knows sit
I can't sit here and try to tell you what Terrell is going to do. Only Terrell knows what he is going to do.
box continue randy run safety sit top
If they are able to run the ball, we can't continue to do what we did with me kind of going to Randy and being over the top some of the time. You can't continue to do that. You have to be able to put a safety in the box to help. But because they were able to do what they did up front, we can just sit back there.
allow ball hold needs onto pocket rifle sit time
You have to get to him. You have to get into his face, harass him, and not allow him to sit in the pocket back there. You can say what you want to say about him. He may hold onto the ball, but he has a rifle to get the ball where it needs to be on time if you allow that to happen.
best bit both circumstance count everybody felt guy regardless side sides situation
It still stings a little bit regardless of the circumstances of him not being here. You still would like to have that guy on your side because you can count on him. From all reports, everybody in the organization and on both sides of the situation felt that this was the best thing to do. So they did it and you have to live and keep on playing.

He's handled it the way he's handled every situation since I've been here.

aspect certain certainly dwell good guys hopefully horrible mentality settle situations stepped word year
I'm certainly not going to dwell on this year. It was a horrible year in every aspect of the word horrible. There were some good plays, some good situations and some guys stepped up for us, but as a whole, when you are used to being a certain way, your mentality is used to being a certain way, you do not settle. I'm not going to settle and hopefully guys won't settle either.
everybody goes none situation stays stuff talking
If you give me everybody we had, everybody stays healthy, none of the stuff goes on, we're talking about a different situation right now.
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.

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.
