both close game guys hurting physical point season
I don't think we're close to hurting each other necessarily. It's a physical game and ... I would like them at this point of the season to be physical because you're determining an attitude. ... I don't want anything cheap, but I want guys to be physical on both sides.
bit case depend expect gets guys mistakes point regard
No, you don't expect the mistakes to come from the guys that you've always been able to depend on. Sometimes it gets to the point where guys are pressing a little bit too hard. That may be the case in regard to Favre.
afternoon coaches concern defensive gone guy matter meeting per physically player quite scheme sure talk worked
It's just a matter of him getting used to what we're doing. I'm not sure we're there quite yet. I'm going to talk with the defensive coaches in my meeting this afternoon with them and just see where we feel he is. He's a guy that hasn't really gone through preseason and has not been in the scheme per se, as a player physically worked into the scheme. So, obviously, we have a little concern there.
allow contact easy effort gets guy knew move pleased plus position second
This guy is not someone who is easy to get down. I knew we would be in position but he gets contact plus 2, 3 yards. I was very pleased how we gang-tackled him and not allow his second effort to move the pile.
backup biggest catalyst certainly couple defense difference drafted four good guys holes played year
They're the catalyst to the defense because they're so active, so disruptive. There aren't a whole lot of holes there. They've certainly drafted well and had good guys in backup roles. That's the biggest difference between this year and a couple years ago when they played with the same four guys.
field force gets guys missing open player playing sent shots took vertical win
We took shots down the field, but they have to be open shots, ... When they're playing your vertical routes, it gets tough. You can't force balls. When you force balls, you have interceptions. We sent vertical guys down field. Missing a player like Walker, there will always be a what-if. But we still should have been able to win this game.
anybody coming faster focus gets guy mind picking puts telling waiting worry
I'm waiting for him to come off the plane, and he comes off in a wheelchair. I'm in the tank, and he's picking me up, telling me, 'Hey, Coach. Don't worry about me, I'm going to be fine. I'll be coming back from this thing faster than anybody ever has,' ... This guy does have a single-minded focus on things of this nature. When he puts his mind to something, he usually gets it. So, I can see him coming back from this, very much.
chance division guys huge hurting locker plenty realized regard scenario stake talk today white
I'm not the only one hurting in (the locker room) when I talk to the team. Those guys are very, very disappointed. They realized what was at stake today in regard to the division, we had a chance to get evened up in the division with our NFC record, and the Reggie White scenario was huge for us. There was plenty of motivation.
backup guys line roles starting
They've got guys in backup roles on that line there that would be starting for other teams,
adversity cracking fairly group guys spite team
The thing is the guys battled. They didn't stop. I think the team as a group are fairly resilient, fairly together. I don't see them cracking in spite of any of the adversity we face.
business crosses cubes flip focused goes guy guys ice line minute next pass putting switch throwing totally trying type warming win
He's the type of guy that can flip the switch probably better than anybody. He can be in here warming up with the guys and jackin' around and then he goes out there and crosses the line and, bang, he's all business and trying to win the drill. One minute he's putting ice cubes down a coach's back, and the next he's throwing a touchdown pass where he's totally focused on what he's doing.
later practice run status until weekend
We will not know his status for this weekend until later in the week. But as of right now, he will not run (Monday), obviously, and probably won't practice on Wednesday, but that still is uncertain.

I've read in the media that people were frustrated with the length of time it took Brett to come to this decision. Last I checked, he hasn't missed any pre-season practices or games yet in the 2006 season.
