We had a miserable first year (6-10 in 2004), and that's real hard on you. So you go in the second year knowing you've got to make something happen. Being able to get 10 wins, that helps a lot. It gives the whole organization confidence. If we hadn't gotten into the playoffs, it would've been a real downer. Getting in the playoffs was somewhat of a turning point for us.
It's good for him. It's good for us, because I think it gives us somebody solidly behind Patrick there.
He's got more or less a defect there that sometimes gives him problems.
In talking to Mark, he gives me the impression that he thinks he can go and we'll work towards that.
A loss (Sunday) would have meant your back was against the wall and you're pretty much fighting week to week just to survive. To wind up 5-3, this puts you in a much better position. ... It gives you the feeling that you're fighting for it rather than trying to come off the floor.
We're going to try a couple of other things this week,
We're going to go with two kickers until John is healthy, and then we'll make a decision, ... We are thin at some other positions, but we don't have a choice at this point.
We felt like we kind of backed up there. We were fortunate to get out of some things with some rolls and stuff, ... It was just an evaluation thing. We like Andy, we just felt like we need to make a move for the team.
We felt like we had some other players that fit the role for us and do a lot of things for us. It was a competitive thing.
We're going to have to work our way through that, ... It's going to be a big topic of discussion. We've got Chris here with a short work week, so we've got to do a real good job of evaluating that.
We're going to have to wait that out, ... But if I had to guess right now, I think it would make it tough for him to make it back for Monday night. We'll just have to work our way through that situation and see what's the best way of handling that.
Unless I missed something, that should have been 15 yards if I have ever seen it. We are supposed to be watching the quarterbacks and protecting them.
Unless he really starts feeling good, in all likelihood I wouldn't think he'd go this week.
We have a smart football team, and they understand,
