early ended four last less parts purpose season wholesale year
We didn't make wholesale changes, ... There are less new parts than before. Everything we're doing, we're doing with a purpose. That's the way we ended last year with our last four games. I didn't feel like that early in the season last year.
aaron circumstance gave opportunity race time year
We really never gave Jake an opportunity like this. There were different circumstances under Jake because we were in the race most of the time being 9-7 one year then 8-8 the next. The only time Jake got the opportunity was when Aaron got hurt.
care compared couple drafted evident football forget good himself last matured order people taking understanding year
I think he's really matured this year, compared to his first couple years. We drafted him when he was a junior. People forget that he was (21) years old. I think he's really matured the last couple years, but this year it's evident by his play and taking care of himself and understanding that, in order for him to be a good football player, he has to take care of himself on and off the field.
decided hard last next sit year
Last year was a hard year on myself and all the coaches, and really the whole city. So I decided that if I didn't get a job, or the right job, that I would probably sit out a year and see if I could get back in the next year.

We tried that last year -- we won four in a row. I don't know if anything can carry over because of free agency, and maybe a hurricane hitting you.
change guess learn life year
The one thing I did learn this year is that things change fast. You've got to be able to adapt. I guess that's the way life is. You just don't know what things are going to change.
consistent last left missed picked year
He's been consistent all along. He's just picked it up where he left it last year and he hasn't missed a beat.

We just had way too many penalties and way too many turnovers.
close penalties
We just had way too many penalties and turnovers. We just didn't have any opportunities to get close to them.
equal good issue looking money rid team three trade value
We weren't looking to get rid of him. It was a money issue at the time. We had three good (defensive) ends, so we were looking to trade him if we could get equal value. We thought Darren's value to this team was a lot.

ball hold moved points score shame team turned
We turned it over way too many times. It's a shame we didn't score more points. If you hold a team to 17 points you should win. We moved the ball well, we just didn't score enough.
chance football gives healthy involved team
We're going to try to get everyone involved and keep Deuce healthy if we can, ... If we have a healthy Deuce McAllister on this football team and Antowain Smith, it gives us a better chance to win.
