next time
It's all about the next time we get the ball, what we've got to do.
matter time
That's why you play 16 games. It was only a matter of time before we got out there and did what we're doing now.
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.
bad determined feels fix forth group happened head minimize players point sticking team throughout time veteran whether
Any time you lose, it feels bad whether it is by one point or by 20 points, ... You think about all the things that happened throughout the game. The turnovers, they are really sticking out in my head right now. Turnovers are going to happen, but we must minimize them. We must get back to the fundamentals. We have a veteran group of players on this team that has a lot of pride. We are embarrassed by the way we are playing. We put forth the effort, but we are just making too many mistakes. We need to fix these things and I am determined to fix them.
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.

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.
flights house ice knee therapist three
Dr. (James) Andrews recommended a therapist in Orlando, and I've got a one-level house here, so I don't have three different flights (of stairs). There's also no ice on the ground, because if you slip, I'll be right back in surgery. It's better for my knee to be here.
bowl defense effort last pro randy reason win
Randy wasn't the reason we didn't win a championship. Randy had a Pro Bowl effort every year. But I do think we'll do better than we did last year. Not because Randy isn't here. I just think our defense is going to be better. That's why we'll be better.
