It's the same thing. The groin's sore. Hopefully it's not too serious, but if it is, we'll take the proper procedure to heal it.
believe business deeper football guys happens hopefully lose nature step teams
It's one of the deeper teams we've had, I believe, ... We'll see in the end if we can keep it going. But the nature of this business is you're going to lose players. It happens to every football team. We've had guys step up and play well and hopefully we can keep it going.
carries hopefully takes third year
It's coaches, players, different terminology, ... It takes a third year before you really feel comfortable, not having to think and react. I could see that in the offseason and hopefully it carries on into the season.
capable control games hopefully left
We know we control our destiny. We have two games left and hopefully we can do what we are capable of doing.

Some guys (have) got more growing to go. That's part of the season. But I thought we made some strides and hopefully it pays dividends.

He's more comfortable with the system, more comfortable with what we're doing. It's a process. Hopefully he can keep it up.

We just got him signed here about 15 or 20 minutes (earlier), ... He didn't get a chance to practice, but he'll be on our football team.

Both guys played extremely well. I was really happy with the young corners.

So, obviously, first comes the AFC West. The goal is to win playoff games, but the division is first, ... You can do it other ways, and we have won a Super Bowl as a wild card, but the statistics show there is no question, being at home gives you an advantage.
diego few kansas point production san third
You look at Kansas City, they were No. 2 in point production and San Diego was third in point production in the NFL. So we're going to see it a few times this year.
against ball defense defensive football good lose momentum move past pick stop sudden teams yards
Yeah, it is frustrating. But there is some good with it. When you move the ball 80 yards on your first drive, and all of a sudden you're on the 1-yard line, and all of a sudden you lose your momentum like we did. When you go against a good defense and you're in long-yardage situations, you're going to be in for a long day, so you can't stop yourself. We're going to play a lot of good defensive football teams this year, so we'd better pick it up. If we don't, then we're going to be inconsistent like we have been the past two weeks.
drafted guy high himself love rookie speaks sure type volumes
We'd sure take him. He's the type of guy you love because he handles himself with so much class. When you have a guy who does that as a rookie being drafted as high as he was, it speaks volumes for the future.
