definitely guys identity offense totally tough
It's definitely tough when you're used to doing very well all the time. The thing is, we've got a totally different offense. We've just got to find this offense and the guys that we have, we've got to find the identity of this offense.
days definitely few football knew realize team
We just need to get away from football for a few days and realize what we've got here. The thing is, it's going to take some time. We've got a whole new team here when you think about it. We definitely didn't want to be 1-3, but we knew it was going to take some time.
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.
deep definitely good oh runs underneath
Oh yeah, definitely, ... That is the plan. We are definitely going to use him any way possible. He runs very good deep routes, and he runs underneath things well, too. That's why he's such a weapon.
definitely drop helps passing quickly run running start zones
When you can run the ball, it definitely helps the passing game. The linebackers can't drop back into their zones as quickly. We're going to try to start quickly in the running game.
definitely football good talent took
I took some good shots. It's definitely disappointing. There's a lot of talent on this football team.
definitely excited field help player
He's definitely a player, and he's definitely going to help us. I'm excited for him to be able to get on the field and play some football. He's definitely a player who can help out.

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.
