anyone felt game guy hard vulnerable
You go out there and you play the game hard, but you never want to see anyone down. And I just felt really bad. The guy is vulnerable being down like that. It was just hard on me.
appreciate game wish
It's tough, ... You wish you could go out there and do something. ... It really, really makes you appreciate the game when you're not around it.
defensive game good great offensive physical points talented understand
We understand that they are talented on the offensive side, that they have some good physical defensive players. It should be a physical, hard-hitting game and some points should be put up on the board. Hopefully, by us moreso than them. It should be a great kick-off to the 2005 season.

A lot of teams today do not believe in veteran players. But (Belichick) believes in bringing smart, disciplined, tough football players who respect the game and have the ability to move on whether we win or lose.
continued drive football future game great honest integrity knows league national opportunity players replace
I think what you look for in a person to replace him is a person of integrity, someone that's honest and someone who knows the game and understands that it is the players that drive the game as well as the fans. If you have that, you have an opportunity for a great future for the National Football League and continued success.
club doctors eight figured game groin guess last miss missed muscle pull run suffered
The club figured that, at 30, I couldn't run anymore. I'd suffered a groin pull in the first game last year. The muscle was 30Â percent off the bone. The doctors told me I'd miss eight weeks. I missed two. I guess the Patriots feel I can run well enough.
moving reality games
We have a lot of respect and love for Bruschi. But he's gone. That's unfortunate for us, but we have to move on. Just like if I got injured they'd have to move on without me. That's just part of the game. That's reality.
games play guy
If guys feed off me, that's fine. But I'm going to play my way and I don't change. One hundred percent every single play, every single day. That's just me. And hopefully guys, especially the young guys, feed off of it and hopefully they learn how to be a professional and bring their 'A' game every day.
ball hold leaf offense ryan stop three
I've never been around anything like it. We'd stop 'em, three and out. Then Ryan Leaf and our offense would give 'em the ball back on the first play, so we'd go out and hold them, three and out, again. We never let up.
bad chalk continue days guy hard office room work
Sometimes, ... you just have bad days at the office, and you just have to chalk it up, continue to work hard and look at how each and every guy in this room can get better.
gauge guarantee happened judge past people realize totally understand wants
Everyone wants to judge us and gauge us on what happened in the past, but this is a totally different team. People have to realize that and we understand that. So there's no guarantee that we're going to go out there and do anything.

It definitely affects the way you prepare because you never know who is going to be in there. It affects the communication. However, everyone has to be ready and that's no excuse.
