fights-and-fighting guys kept lost win
We never lost that will to win -- the guys just kept on fighting.
believe everybody guy handled high last mental reason toughness wrote year
I have high expectations for Kyle. One reason I believe in him a lot is last year when everybody was down on him and wrote him off he handled it so well. When he really started to do some things, not once did he say, 'I told you so.' He was the same guy and that showed me he has the mental capabilities and toughness to do it.
came chance gotten group guys hope looked lucky special teams win
I feel very lucky to have gotten them all. Replacing special teams isn't like replacing a lineman, where you hope the group comes together. On their own, those guys are all difference-makers. And you know what? I think they came here because each one looked at us and thought, Hey, those guys have a chance to win it all.
cap created franchise guy next problems scramble shows solve
It just shows the vulnerability of every franchise. I mean, one day you've got who you think is a franchise quarterback. And the next day, you're in a scramble to get one and solve the cap problems created by the guy getting hurt.
athletic beaten group guys hammer match season
We didn't play real well all season and realistically, we should have beaten them twice. They didn't hammer us. We should have beaten them twice. I think Seattle's a pretty hard-nosed, athletic group of guys that will match up pretty well.
capable desires guys higher people stop unless
I think we have higher expectations and desires than a lot of people think, or that we're capable of. Our guys weren't going to stop unless they were going to win.
elite evolving far goes guys handled himself kerry limit top tremendous
Kerry is evolving into an elite quarterback in this league. One of the top guys who is going to play this game. And as he goes on, there's no limit to him right now. He's come so far and handled himself so well. There's no limit. He's got tremendous talent.
bridge difficult figuring gap guys hard hold normal numbers players society team whatever within
I would say that whatever our numbers are, they're probably pretty much league-wide and probably pretty much society-wide. I don't think our team is any different from any other team or society as a whole. I don't think those numbers are out of whack. The hard thing is we hold these players to different standards. That's going to be the difficult part, figuring out how we are going to bridge that gap if these guys can't be within these normal societal numbers.
cough cover few guy hard list medicine stuff sure
It's not a stimulant that's just in a few areas. It's in a lot of stuff. It's in cough medicine and some inhalants. I'm sure there are going to be trip-ups, because it's really hard to give a guy a list of all the stuff that it's in. That list would cover a lot of stuff. They just have to be diligent.

It's not a stimulant that's just in a few areas, ... It's in a lot of stuff. It's in cough medicine and some inhalants. I'm sure there are going to be trip-ups, because it's really hard to give a guy a list of all the stuff that it's in. That list would cover a lot of stuff. They just have to be diligent.
guys hit instead minimize remember sake telling throw timing wrong
I remember telling our guys this. 'They're going to have some things they hit us with when their timing is right and they've got us in the wrong protection. Just minimize it. Instead of a 10-yard sack, make it a three-yard sack. And for God's sake don't throw it up for grabs.
answer beginning dropping game guys looking maybe passes playing prove reads stuff tape type
I don't know. I can answer that maybe when I get looking at the tape and see if his reads and stuff were right. But he was one of many at the beginning of the game who weren't playing well. Dropping passes and fumbling the ball, that type of thing. Guys get so many opportunities to prove themselves.
asset body confuse describe guy hit movements receiver throw trying understand veteran
I can't describe what an asset it is. You want a receiver that doesn't make movements that confuse you about where he's going -- that's kind of like trying to hit a gnat. You want a guy who's smooth. You want a guy who you understand where he's going, you kind of got his body language, and a veteran guy where you know that if you throw it, he can make a play.
changed kicked last season towards
We changed up his fundamentals last season and it really kicked in towards the end of the season,
