guys mad
Guys are mad and should be because we lost.
ball deep excited far great guys spread
I feel very good, ... I've always spread the ball around. I want everyone involved. The guys here so far have done a great job. I'm excited about what we can do offensively. We have a lot of speed, and going deep is part of our game, so you need that.
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.
causing confusion great guys job position putting stopping
They did a great job of causing confusion and stopping the run, and putting guys in position to make plays.
anybody figure guys outside people stuff worry
A lot of people on the outside are going to have their own opinions. It's not about who's not here. It's about who's here. We've got to find our ingredients, the right mixture. We can't worry about anybody who's not here and stuff like that. We've got to worry about what we can do with the guys who are here. We've got to figure it out.
afraid confidence guess guys hard notice starting swagger work
Nate has always had a swagger, but I guess you guys are starting to notice it. I'm probably No. 1 or No. 2 in the swagger department. It's confidence because we work hard to be good, and we aren't afraid to say that.
guys lay
I had to lay some guys out, ... I had to show them I'm back.
almost good guys happens improve job maybe might playing thinking together whatever
He's my good friend, but you almost get to thinking that maybe enough is enough. And maybe the Vikings' organization has had enough. It's not my decision, what happens with Randy. The Vikings organization makes that decision, and whatever they do, that's what's going to happen. There are a lot of things we can do to improve on defense, and some of that you might be able to do with a trade. We've also got a lot of guys who can get the job done if we just play together. That's the most important thing: all of us playing together as a team.
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.
business care talent team took
We feel we've got a lot of talent on this team and we want to do it now. We took care of business in the offseason.
confidence developed gets great lifts mental mistakes swagger watched
I've watched Nate develop, and he's developed real fast. His swagger and confidence are really what lifts him up and gets him going. He has a great mental game. He doesn't make mistakes at all. And he has just made some spectacular plays.
almost bad episode twilight
It was almost like a bad episode of 'The Twilight Zone,'
top
I should have been on top of communicating better with the receivers.
hit playing position
I've been playing this position a long time, and I know how to get out of those situations. I was off my rhythm, but it's not because I was getting hit. I've been getting hit forever. I've just got to make the plays.
