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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
backup guys line roles starting
They've got guys in backup roles on that line there that would be starting for other teams,
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.
backs converted count excellent fisher past player role screens services third tony
Without the services of Davenport, we have to be able to count on our other two backs as well. Tony Fisher has been a role player for us in the past and has been an excellent player for us, particularly on third down, and has converted many of those on draws, screens and catches he has made.
game glad happened injury knew saw sideline team upstairs
We saw what happened upstairs and they said (Favre) got leg-whipped. It wasn't intentional, I believe. We kind of knew what the injury was. He swore to me on the sideline that it was fine, but it stiffened up on him as the game went along. I was glad that he was able to go in and get the team into the end zone. That was important to him and to the offense.
begin exactly gets himself honest hospital ludicrous reluctant run signed symptoms tests
To be honest with you, he's reluctant to go to the hospital to begin with. The symptoms were exactly the same as (last year). And we made him go to the hospital, which is ludicrous for him not to go. He gets there, they run some tests, the tests are negative. He wanted to come back here, so he signed himself out of the hospital. They weren't done doing the tests.
ball carry though
Even though he doesn't carry the ball very much we do ball drills with him every day,
adaptable clock errors evening few field handle meeting mental picked quite seemed seems
We've been meeting with him around the clock for the most part. He seems to be very adaptable and has picked up quite a few things. We put him out there on the field this evening and he seemed to handle things quite well. ... I didn't see him make any mental errors out there.
both clock meeting players ready
We've been meeting with both of those players around the clock for the most part and getting them ready to go.
