expecting good guys prove wrong year
This year we've got a lot of young guys that are expecting to play. I don't see anything wrong with that as long as they prove they are good players.
good great greatness guys hurt might players run team
You had a team in 2002 that was approaching greatness. I'm not making excuses, but this just might be a reason, I think. Guys who are good players try to be great players by doing too much. In the long run that's going to hurt you.
couple eating good guy home potato throws
He made a couple of good throws for a guy who has been home eating potato chips.
definitely good guys works
It works out in the end for the good guys and he's definitely one of those.
approach attitude bit definitely evolved five four good guys players position scheme similar understand
They are definitely legit. They have good players at every position and what they do is pretty similar to what we did four or five years ago. I think we've evolved a bit from where we were. They have guys who understand it's not all about the scheme - it's also about your attitude and the way you approach the game.
backs definitely describe games good great running three words
There's not a lot of words to describe him. Just put the film on, and you see what you have in this guy. There's a lot of great backs that have come through this league. For him to outdistance them all in the first three games of his career, he should feel good about it. We definitely feel good that he's running for us.
breeds call definitely doubt football good guys last losing winning
There's no doubt about it. I think winning breeds camaraderie. We had camaraderie last year, but losing didn't really make it that much better. There's definitely a combination of the two, the young guys and the old guys. The balance, I guess, you could call it. It's really good on this football team.
few five four freed hit obligatory passes success
Without Moss, Daunte has a few more options. He always had his four or five obligatory passes to No.84. I think it's freed him up a little bit. In preseason, he hit a lot of different receivers and he had a lot of success with it.
running
We think they're going to try and get back their running game.
asked came critical crunch guys overall stuck time together
We are very critical on ourselves, but overall I think we did everything that was asked of us. We stuck together and had guys in the right spots. When it came to crunch time we were able to make the plays.
behind talent turned
We've really turned this thing around behind some young talent. If I had to put one thing on it, it's their play.
detail doubt emphasis exactly guys job paying supposed
We've put a big emphasis on detail this year, and it's paying off. Guys know exactly what they're supposed to do. There is no doubt about what your job is.
found sloppy
We've been sloppy all year. But we've found way to make plays.
advantage call either luck
There is no such thing as luck. Bounces go either way every day you take advantage of those situations. You call it luck and I call it being prepared.
