coach happen hope lose situation tests wish
It's tough, ... I've never been in a situation where you lose your one and two quarterbacks. . . . I hope this doesn't happen to any coach ever, ever, ever. It isn't a lot of fun. I don't wish this on any coach. It tests your faith.
asked games glad guy handled happen players position respect win won
We're very glad we have him. He's a guy that's won a lot of games in this league. Players respect him because of what he's done, how he's come in here and handled the position we've asked him to take. Obviously, if something should happen (to Pennington) we feel like he can go in the game and play and win for us.
either happening happens plays side teams
You need to make some plays to get energy. We haven't made enough big plays on either side of the ball. That's what happens to teams that are losing. That's what's happening to us.
happens hope
I don't hope this happens to any coach. Ever. Ever. Ever.
bad couple guy happens hit injury last might sudden year
I look at it like this, ... Before he got here, he was never injured. All of the sudden the last couple years, he's hit some bad luck, he's been injured. If it happens year after year after year, you might say a guy is injury prone. I wouldn't say that at this point. It's too early.
happens hit stay three
You know when you stub your toe, you do everything that day to stay away from it, and you hit it three more times, right? That's what happens in the game. It's sore.
along brought happens jump plan sudden
We thought we brought him along right, ... So happens to be all of a sudden now something is happening. I just think that's what we all understood, so that's what we did. That was the plan. We didn't jump to a conclusion. We had a plan and that was the plan.
change character happens integrity stays strong sure
When it happens you have to make sure your character is strong and your integrity of how you're doing thing stays intact. I won't change my character and my integrity because I know what I'm doing is right.
believe explain fox guy john minutes phone trying wrong
I mean, John is on the phone with me for 20 minutes trying to explain what the guy was trying to say, ... He said it the wrong way, whatever. I believe Fox and I believe the kid.
bit chemistry good year
I mean, he's a little bit bigger, obviously, than Santana, so he's a little bit more physical. He had real good chemistry with the quarterback the year that he was our MVP, and I just think that's something that him and the quarterback have always had. They have just had that feel.
advise career decision determine hard medical people point wants
It's something Wayne's going to have to determine with the doctors, ... He's going to have to make a decision on what he wants to do. It's always the player's decision at the end of the day. The medical people can advise people. Wayne's at the point of his career where he's going to take a long hard look at what he wants to do.
fun season start understand
It's not fun for the players, it's not fun for this organization, it's not fun for our fans. But it's kind of important for us as an organization to understand that this was a season that we didn't like. But as I've said many times, it's not a condition. It's a season. A new season will start for us, the 2006 season.

That is what a playoff team looks like. There is a reason they go to the playoffs every year and have won three world championships. They got off to a fast start.
