complete easy gave last played similar
We weren't up to par. Similar to (our opener) last year, we played rusty. We didn't play a complete game. We gave up some easy touchdowns, didn't really communicate well.
antics football heads knocking playing
When it comes down to it, ... it's just football. After all the circus, the antics and the sideshow, it's just football . . . just going out there and just knocking heads and just playing football.
plays top
We were just one or two plays from an AFC championship and I think we will back on top real soon.
ability believe believes bringing football game move players respect teams today tough veteran whether win
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.
football playing prepared since
This is the most prepared since I have been playing football.
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.
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.
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.
crying guys home plane
You'd see guys crying on the plane home,
chris matter randy
It doesn't matter if it's Randy Moss, Chris Chambers. It doesn't matter,
affects definitely prepare ready
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.
