fought guys hoped kept proud shows ugly
I was proud to be with a lot of those guys in the huddle because they fought through it, and that shows character. It was an ugly season, and it wasn't what we had hoped for and not what we expected. But guys in that huddle kept playing, and I was proud of that.
chance coming gave guy half hand step
I was a half step late. He was coming back to the post. It gave their guy a chance to get his hand in there.
change fact guys losing tougher
We're losing guys, but it doesn't change the fact we've still got to get better. It's going to be tougher with new guys in there, but we've got to do it.
great guy job prepare snap training
Dan's going to have to prepare like he's the guy now. He's been doing a great job in training camp, but now he's one snap away from being our quarterback.
confidence guys lose stop throwing
I'm not going to stop throwing it. You can't ever lose confidence in the guys in your huddle.
accurate calling guys hard head last time year
At this time last year my head was swimming. There were times I had no idea what the play I was calling needed. It's hard to be accurate when you don't know where you're throwing. I feel better now, especially with the guys I have around me.

build couple far flowing game guys musical pace players playing relationship sort tough trying
The pace of the game flowing down has everything to do with you being comfortable. My first two years here, we were playing musical receivers, rotating guys in and out of the lineup, guys getting hurt. It was a tough couple years as far as trying to build any sort of comfortable relationship with any of the players out there.
demands guy holds san sees won
He has that credibility, having won all those years in San Francisco. He demands focus, holds us all accountable. The guy sees everything on the field.
confidence gives guy stuff
I had to look for the guy who's going to make a play for you. He went up and got it. That's the kind of stuff that gives you confidence in another guy.
guy perfect plays roy
You don't have to be perfect with him. A guy like Roy can make plays that aren't there.
couple early good knew matter
We knew they were a good defense. I knew they were going to make some plays. It was just a matter of us making some back. We made a couple early but then made too many mistakes.
against chance couple games last
We've been in too many of those games in the last couple of years that we have a lead, a chance to put them away and don't, especially against No. 4 (Favre),
