game gives hit running
We went deep. We went short. We hit on medium-range passes. We got our running game going. Jake gives us another dimension.
ball bread opens rolling running time
Running the ball is what we do well. It's our bread and butter. It's always been the coach's way to win. Any time we can get the ball rolling on the ground, it opens up a lot of things for us.
running opportunity player
As far as dude running the ball, or running with the ball, and somebody hit you helmet to helmet, I think you got an opportunity to go down. You got an opportunity to slide.
running done may
I'm instinctive. I'm still learning how to run the ball. What I've done may look good to everyone else, but I know I'm capable of more than I've shown.
running men trying
When a grown man is chasing you around a building or running through the hotel and trying to jump in your elevator, oh man, I can't even see it. What excitement can you possibly get from having my autograph besides selling it?
game running solid
I just feel when we're in our game plan, the running game has been there. Unfortunately, we've always been behind. We just want to play solid and not be one-dimensional. We get one-dimensional, we get in trouble.
adopt alexander bounds everybody extra fresh great league longest maybe mentality might people running soft staying sure taking
He might think I'm the devil, but Shaun Alexander is a great back. For the longest time, people said he was soft and couldn't do this and couldn't do that. Right now, he's the league MVP. Maybe we need all to adopt that mentality of him staying fresh by running out of bounds and not taking the extra pounding. That got him the league MVP. I'm sure everybody will like to be in his shoes.
humble keeps last lets looking struggles
That first handoff, it was like, whew, the sky's the limit. At the time, you couldn't have told me we weren't looking at 2,000 yards. But things happen. That keeps you humble and keeps you hungry. It lets you know you can't get the big head. I'd like to think that our struggles last year, being 6-10, made us all better.
milk practice unless wednesday
I'm good. I'll be at practice Wednesday -- unless I can milk this thing.
pain stand week
I've got all week to think about the pain in my leg. As long as I can stand and as long as I can go, I'll go.
break brought franchise
That's big. That's what they brought me here for. This franchise has been around a long time, so to break it is special.
attitude last lose pressure
Every week, we've had to play like it was our last game. Don't lose that attitude now. Don't lose that motivation. Now, the pressure really is on for everyone else, but we've been going through this.
cleaning found guys locker needed none packing ready talked win
We talked about packing up. We needed to go out and find a way to win or we were going to be cleaning out our lockers. I wasn't ready to clean my locker out. I don't think none of the other guys were, either. We found a way to win.
came team turn wrote
At 5-6, everyone wrote us off. We started off hot, everyone jumped on the bandwagon. We turn around, we're 5-6, everyone jumped off the bandwagon. As a team we came together.
