It just wasn't working out, ... When it was time to get some burst and move downhill, I couldn't do it.

Next time I'm going to say it, the game's going to be the Super Bowl. That's it.
beating continue hold improve lead remember team wrong
We know we're not just a 2-14 team. We just have to remember how to win. And remember how to hold on to the lead and continue to improve once you have the lead. There's nothing wrong with beating a team 55-0.
Let me show you what I can do to you.
cherish last moment normally
Last week, it all started to click. It's a possibility (leaving) could happen. I'm just going to cherish the moment like I normally do, and just go out there and play like it is my last time.

We'll be very prepared. We're looking forward to winning. We're not taking anything away from that team. We know what we're up against.

We wanted to go out there with intensity to show our feeling for Thomas. We wanted to be really aggressive, really go after people.

The biggest thing is strengthening the whole leg, ... Once all that comes together, 12 months will probably be when everything comes together.

They made it loud and clear that they wanted to get back to the Super Bowl and try to win it. That's what I am trying to. I have never won a Super Bowl, never won any championship in my life. Always came in second.
looking perfect situation
This is really what I was looking for. This is the perfect situation for me.
familiar guys hard last movement
It's all about timing, movement and getting back to what you're familiar with, ... We had so many guys out last year, so many little things going wrong, that it's hard to judge. We're going to show who we really are this year.

There's a whole different attitude now. It feels good to come into practices and games with this kind of preparation. We feel like we're ready to go out there this season and get this franchise back to where we expect it to be.
