good guy job move page understand
My job is to move the chains. If a guy doesn't understand that, he has to get on the same page as me. The good thing here is everyone understands that.
bonus cap clear coach faith free gesture good help move offering run serious sign space toward
I have made a good faith gesture toward the organization by offering to move my roster bonus around if it will help clear more cap space to sign free agents. If I am not traded, I want to help coach (Brad) Childress make a serious run for the championship this year.
admitting apologize caused clear expect handle legal move name personal process ridiculous situation
Without admitting to the ridiculous allegations, I do apologize for any embarrassment that this situation has caused the community, the organization and especially my family. I can handle the personal accusations because I know the truth. I expect the legal process to clear my name so that I can move on.
both good happy move opportunity
It wasn't that I wanted to get out. It's just, I think, for both sides, it was good for me to move on. Good for the Vikings, too. That's the way it happened, and I'm happy right now. I'm happy with the opportunity I have here.
check field mean move open shots
You still have to be opportunistic. What I mean by that is when the shots are there, we're going to take them. But when they aren't, I'm going to check it down and find open receivers and move it down the field that way.
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.
air ball efficient exciting far fun move throughout
As far as being efficient and able to move the ball in the air like we always have, I think we will be. We've been doing it in the preseason and in the minicamps. I know we can move the ball. It's going to be fun and exciting to do that throughout the season.
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.
glad hopefully looking progress rush
Things are looking good. I'm not going to predict, or rush myself ... I'm just glad to be making the progress that I'm making and hopefully it continues.
