close control hard monitor outside taking
That's hard to do, because we don't control these guys' lives. But we don't want them going to any outside doctor. That way we can monitor what they're taking and we don't have any trip-ups. You really have to close up the circle.
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.

There have been a lot of questions: 'Can Kerry step forward and carry this team?'

I thought Jesse did all right, considering some things. We had some routes that weren't where they were supposed to be and protection problems.

We never lost that will to win -- the guys just kept on fighting.

Those are the decisions you make, ... I made a lot of them. You can second-guess every damn one if you want.

anybody chips middle poker raising stakes team wants
I am raising the stakes right now, ... If this is a poker game, I am shoving my chips right in the middle of the table. I am raising the ante. Anybody who wants out, can get out. This team is going to the playoffs. OK? This team is going to the playoffs.
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.
change drawn piece routes run stick walk
When we walk out of the meeting, and it's all drawn up on the piece of paper, you don't run routes as a stick man. You run routes with a feel. You know when to sit. You know when to slide. You know when to change directions. That stuff.
