factions guys happy might
There are going to be factions in the building, ... There are guys that want Mooch to be there, and there are guys that might be happy he is gone.
good guys needed plenty promise teach veterans
Potentially, yes, because we have so many young stallions. And now we have some guys who can teach them how to be pros. That's the key. We've got plenty of young stallions, I promise you. Look at our roster. But we needed some veterans to show them how to be good pros. We've got some of those guys now.
fans game guys
Look, when you go to some stadiums, it's so deafening that you can't hear. When you have 15,000-20,000 of the opponent's fans in there, it's not deafening. There is a difference. The fans that were there were great. But it wasn't like a big game when it's just your guys in there.

Redemption is good. All of us by nature have tremendous pride in what we do. We not only have Ted and Sam wanting to prove themselves, we have some other guys who want to prove themselves.

Unfortunately this season so far there have been more times when I have looked in the mirror ... and feel like I can put on the uniform and feel like I can do a little better job than some of the guys that are out on the field. And then I come back to reality and realize I'm 46.

That's exciting, to see that the guys we brought in made plays for us and played at a high level.
against carry future guys increased mentioned next players role standing team victory whether winning year
All the guys I've mentioned are playing. I'd just like to see a little more increased role with them to see if these young players can actually carry us to victory against a team with a winning record. Because they are the future of this organization, whether I'm standing here at the podium next year or someone else is.
balance defense number players progress searching trying work
The players right now, like the coaches, are searching for an identity, ... With new players on defense, they are trying to find a balance of what we want to do and what the players do best. I think that is still, unfortunately, a work in progress and will be for a number of weeks.
averaged block free great guy man run
This young man averaged 1.87 (seconds) get-off in the game. Virtually, you could have a guy run free and he can't block the kick. So that's the great thing.
cut depth fair falling possibly
With all the young guys, D'Wayne was falling on the depth chart. It was not fair to keep him and then possibly cut him down the line.
anybody good
We're going to be as good as anybody offensively, ... Our quarterback is in a zone.
best brought pick since
best young lineman we've brought in since Birk (sixth-round pick in 1998).
