bit bowl champions close definitely far friend goal last mine moves randy sit spent super time worry year
As far as Randy not being here, personally, he's a close friend of mine and we spent a lot of time together, so it's definitely a little bit different in that sense. But time moves on. We have a goal to be NFC champions and Super Bowl champions. We don't have time to sit and worry about who was here last year and who's not here this year.
approach changed close guy responsibility year
A guy that was really close to me is not here, but every year is different. I'm going to approach every day the same. I'm the quarterback, I have a responsibility and nothing has changed on my part.
fire wants
Every now and then I try to fire him up. He really has started to show that he wants it.
best calling coach good today worked
The best way for us today was coach Tice calling them in. It worked for us and got us a good rhythm.
push
There's swelling, and it's painful, but I'm a warrior, ... I'm going to push through this.
tight winning
Not try to make mistakes. Just try to be calm, and play winning football. Not just me. Not just the linemen. Not just the backs. Not just the tight ends. Not just the receivers. Everybody.
ball field goal hands sure trying
Not trying to do too much at one time. Make sure that I keep the ball in our hands at the end of every possession: a touchdown first or a field goal or we punt the ball to them.
determination determined fix stay
I'm determined to fix it. One thing we've got to do is stay together.
best career everybody forward good greater halftime knows looking minnesota played seven team wins
I kind of feel like, it's halftime in my career right now. Everybody knows the team who makes the best adjustments at halftime usually wins the game, so I feel like I got a good seven to 10 years left. I played seven years in Minnesota and I am looking forward to even better, greater seven years down in Miami, back home. It's great.
beating believe comment except green please stuff
I have no comment about anything except beating Green Bay, ... Please believe me that, when this stuff is resolved, I'll have something to say.
guys lay
I had to lay some guys out, ... I had to show them I'm back.
crazy far football hurt moss small wish
I never really thought it would happen. I wish he wasn't leaving. I really do. But it was out of my hands. Moss never was a negative, as far as football goes. He did his thing on the field. It was the off-the-field-stuff that was negative. But he never did anything crazy that would really hurt anybody. He would do little, small things.
ball easier football score thinking trying
I'm thinking I'm still trying to score on every possession. It would make it a lot easier if we got the ball down in their territory.
bother noise problem
Noise has never been a problem for me. It doesn't bother me one way or the other.
