coming doubt early football guys knew looks people season smiling talented team type
There's no doubt about it. We knew that coming into the year. This is the most talented football team I've been around. I know what a championship team looks like. I told the guys early in the season we can be that type of team. We don't have to play people close. If we play like we're capable, we'll be smiling at the end of every game.
absolutely april guy locker room surprise weight
Does it surprise me that he still makes plays? Absolutely not, because I see what he does in the weight room in March, April and May. The guy is an inspiration to everyone in this locker room.
appreciate believe build core fact guys happened simple strong troubled
When you go through something like that and you come out of there, you appreciate everything you have at that point, because of the simple fact you had to work. We had to go through some troubled times. But I believe that's when you build character. That's what happened with this team. The core guys who went through that, that's why we're so strong today.
front guys people run seven stopping takes talk
People always talk about the front seven stopping the run or not stopping the run. But it takes all 11 guys to stop the run, and all 11 didn't do that.
guys hear might straight
It comes straight from the heart. You might hear some things you might not want to hear. Guys get emotional. Guys say it like they see it. And I think that's what makes it so touching, because it's from the heart.
guy meant speak
Look at a guy like Sam. He didn't speak all the time, but when he spoke, it meant something.
downs last plays third year
They just killed us on third downs. That's what we've been stressing all off-season is third down. That's what killed us last year and it killed us again. We've got to make plays on third downs and we're not doing it.
catch close closer point
I had to catch him, ... I had to. At one point I thought I wasn't going to and then I got close and I started getting closer and I thought, I got a chance.
began definitely life man situation time
Any time you give that man (Favre) life he will make plays. You definitely don't want to be in that situation with Brett Favre. ... Once he got back into his rhythm, Brett Favre began to be Brett Favre.
anybody cap seen
I've never seen anything like that. For anybody to go in and get turnover after turnover and then cap it off with a touchdown, that's unbelievable.
ready short sounds
It was very important. Two-and-two sounds a whole lot better than one-and-three. It was very important for us to get this win. Especially on a short week, so now we can get ready for Arizona.
exploiting game middle running takes wide
They were exploiting us in the running game. The middle was wide open, so it was tough. But the running game takes all 11 guys.
cross disrespect line trying
That's just disrespectful. We ain't trying to disrespect people. You go do your little antics. That's all good, as long as it doesn't cross the line of disrespect.
against heart says year
What it says is we have a heart of a champion, man. To do this on the road, against that Rams team. We showed again we will not quit. We're going to fight. We've been doing it all year long, and we will not stop.
