best bunch deal decided eagles everybody far great guys hearing mobile pocket running seems silly sitting steve success super throwing until wants wins
You keep hearing everybody wants a more mobile quarterback, ... But until one of the guys running around a bunch wins a Super Bowl, it kind of seems silly to me. Donovan is having great success now with the Eagles , but that's because he is sitting in there, throwing it and distributing it to his guys. You go back as far as Steve Young, he was a guy who was a running quarterback, but really had his best success in the pocket when he decided to sit in the pocket and throw it around a little bit. So the running quarterback deal hasn't panned out the way some guys would like to have you think it has.
ball defense game horrible until
We put our defense in some horrible spots. They had to keep us in the ball game until we could kind of get it together.
amount bad best bit compliment great guy leader learn pay remained respect south start strong team tremendous turn until
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Greg g. I think you learn a lot more about a guy when things start going bad than you do when things are going good. The best compliment I can pay Gregg is that when things started to turn south a little bit for us in Buffalo, he was steadfast and strong and remained a great leader for that team right up until they let him go.
game
We're going to show up and play the game anyway.
game time
The only time you see a game like that is in college.
defense gave last played scoring similar style yards year
Really what they played was a similar style of defense to what they played last year when they went on the run. They gave up some yards here and there, but they tightened up when we got into scoring territory.
ability against aware everybody far lawyer physical plays seen
I will tell you this that everybody that plays against Lawyer is aware of where he is and aware of his ability to make big plays. As far as his speed, his aggressiveness, his physical style, I haven't seen a falloff at all.
best competitor natural plays
Some of those, to me, are the best plays I've made because my natural inclination as a competitor is to make plays all the time.
cowboys dallas enjoyed family help hurricane join member obligation people prayers rebuild relationship salvation thoughts victims
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. All Americans have an obligation to help these people rebuild their lives. I know the Dallas Cowboys have enjoyed a very strong, long-standing relationship with The Salvation Army, and as a member of the Cowboys' family I wanted to join in that support.
capable game happen losing team
We never thought we'd see this happen to our team. I didn't think that this team was capable of losing a game like that.
defense pressure
That was the plan. The way our defense was playing, we wanted to keep the pressure on them.
approaches believe coming outside reason talent
That was probably my No. 2 reason for coming here, outside the talent that was around, ... I know Bill, I believe in him as a coach. I believe in the way he approaches things.
ben good jason played special talent younger
Jason Witten is a special talent. He's as good as Ben Coates (was) when I played with him in his younger years.
funny gone hard help noise realize supposed talking taught tired
I said, 'Yes, sir,' 'No, sir' and did what I was supposed to do. He's a funny guy, but he's only funny if he's not talking to you because he's pretty hard on guys. When I was young, I got tired of all the noise from Bill. As you get older, you realize some of the things he taught me when I was young that have gone on to help me in my career.
