changes fast focus game good learn practice speed
The speed . . . changes from practice to the game. It's a whole different deal. And you've got to learn it's a fast game out there, and I think that's good for us. There's a focus there.
both game guys handled interview kinds meeting process sort stuff tape
Meeting them was impressive. You could tell both guys were bright. They handled the interview process very well. Then the game tape was very impressive. Once you sort through all the b.s., there's all kinds of stuff on every kid, but they were both bright-eyed and very smart.
change changed decisions examples game goes good guy notions people sure ton
There are preconceived notions and ideas. But they may change if a guy goes out there and plays. There's a ton of examples that have changed on game day. I'm sure the people who are with us making those decisions have pretty good thoughts, but I do think this is an important game. Who can play and who can't?
against blossom caught developing football game good guy hard helped played quite receiving saw second seen space starting tight time weather
The first game, he was just developing as a starting tight end and wasn't quite there yet. And between that time and the time we saw him the second time, I've never seen a guy blossom like that. He went to the No. 1 receiving tight end in football in the space of our first game and the second game. . . . He was incredible. We caught a day where the weather wasn't too good (in December), and that helped us. And we played hard against him. But he's very good. He's a major-league talent.
fortunate might skill
Same old John. Reliable. A leader. A little better than you might think he is. A little more skill there than you might first perceive. We're fortunate to have him.
aware conscious field happen nickel
We're very well aware that he was off the field too much in those situations. One thing that we have to be conscious of as we go is that doesn't happen again. We've got to rotate in our nickel situations.
bad brunt kicked taken
We put him in a bad deal. We were humiliated. They kicked every man's butt out there ? coaches, players, everybody. He's taken a lot of heat. For him to take the brunt of that wouldn't be fair.
certainly faster guys high
We're certainly bigger, faster than we've been. Our guys are okay. They can play at a high level; they just have to know that. We're not without talent, let's put it that way.
particular research scheme
We have to research a lot of things to see what particular scheme (they will run).
answer best football supposed teams
The answer makes me sick. But here it is, and it's just like it's supposed to be: You've got the best football teams (in the playoffs), and if you want to make it through, you've got to be the best one.
art brilliant experience great knows teacher
He?s a brilliant teacher and a great communicator. And he?s knowledgeable. He?s got the experience and knows how to teach each player, I think. That?s an art form.
emotion emotions everybody forgets guy tick veteran
We'll put a guy in there who's a veteran player, and he's got some emotion too, now, on Tick (Burns). Everybody forgets that. Old Tick will do fine. He can get after it, now.
magic
I don't have a magic answer. If you play cornerback in this league, they're going to get you once in a while.
good maybe stand
Maybe I don't feel so good when you put it like that. It's going to be fierce, so you have to stand up and get it done.
