approach challenge chance environment excited good guys handle hostile ready thursday
We feel like we have a chance to be a good offense. I think we've showed some of that in the preseason. But we'll find out Thursday night. I'm excited about it. It's a big challenge for us, and I think guys are ready to go. But at the same time, we know it's a big task, and we've got to approach it like we're going into the most hostile environment imaginable, and we'll have to handle it that way.
bit certainly emotion ended five game good holds involved meaning special tough
Obviously, this game holds special meaning for me. I had five good years there and I'm very appreciative of everything that they did for me when I was there. At the same time, obviously, it was tough the way it ended and there's certainly a little bit more emotion involved in this game for me than any other game.

We've all got to be good at moving on in this business. I've moved on. Sure, I was disappointed with the way things went. But I came out here and shifted my thoughts and concentrated on doing well out here. That's all gone under the bridge as far as I'm concerned.

ball good job mix parts rid rushing sound throw
They do a good job rushing the passer, ... It's one of the least talked-about parts of their defense. They mix fronts and give you a sound rush ... I wanted to get rid of the ball (on the interception), throw it away, but I got hit.

Their ability to go deep is about as good as any two receivers you could put together in the league. T.O. looks like he's at the top of his game, Randy looks like he's at the top of his game. And you'll probably see two of the best receivers in football out there on Sunday.
change good hopefully plays rolls steps week whoever
If he's not in, the thing rolls on. But hopefully we'll have him. With Randy, we have our plays every week where we try to get him the ball. I don't know if it will change too much. I think whoever steps in for him will do a good job.
good guy guys hate heck players worked
The guy has worked his butt off to get back to where he was, and he was just now getting back to being 100 percent. It's just disappointing because he's a heck of a player, and you hate to see good guys like that and good players get injured.
