advantage depth evaluation last players sure
We're going to try to see if the front-line players are front-line players. We also want to look at the depth of our roster to make sure that we take advantage of the last evaluation for a lot of these guys. We're going to try to do it all in this game.
costs extra familiar field finish goal last missed point sick sure win
It was very scarily familiar to me, ... You know, a missed field goal, a missed extra point costs you games. I'm sure they're sick about that today. If you're going to finish last in field goal accuracy, you're not going to win many games.
injury lost starters sure tested three totally
We've lost three starters ourselves, ... We haven't been totally injury free. I'm sure we'll be tested just like everyone.

agreement decisions difficult fans hoping obviously owners players reported similar sort sure teams terms waiting
Obviously what is being reported right now is an impasse. There are a lot of teams in similar straits that we are in, in terms of kind of waiting and hoping for the best. If no agreement is reached, I am sure there will be some very difficult decisions to be made. The players and the owners have to sort this thing out. It will take time. It is frustrating for, I think, fans and everyone.

I'm sure he's getting a lot of support from people. It's very unfortunate. He's not the only one that's had to go through this and we just try to help him the best we can.
battle bit guy knows pride rehab sure team
I'm sure he is. He's got a lot of pride, he's been through a lot with the rehab to get well, with the knee, with the back. I think, in his own mind, he's probably a little bit frustrated. But he's a team guy and he knows it's a long battle back.

We tried to get him and Tim involved, because the bigger the game, the bigger he plays. He was excited and thrives in this atmosphere. He loves the big games. The more you ask of him, the more he relishes.
ball beat expect intercept line month pay played week
We just played them a month ago. We beat them 10-3 and we had to intercept the ball on the 1-yard line to do it. If there's a letdown this week then we'll pay for it. I don't expect that to happen.
