guys lay
I had to lay some guys out, ... I had to show them I'm back.
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.
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.
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 mad
Guys are mad and should be because we lost.
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.
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.
