changes losing people season
A lot of the changes will be needed. This season has been an interesting one. There's been a lot of losing and a lot of the people here aren't used to that at all.
bottom high line school whatever whether
The bottom line is, from when I got here to how it is now, there's not that dominant, emotional, you're-going-to-beat-the-heck-out-of-whoever's-on-the-field (feeling), whether it's Ashwaubenon High School or the world champs. For whatever reason, it's a different team, and it's not there.
against bigger defense detroit everybody good last losing saying scale year
I would say on a scale this is bigger than Detroit last year up there. Because this is against what everybody is saying is a really good defense and a good team, and they are. Losing can be habitual, and you don't want it to ever get that way.
forget guided hesitant last nfl swing though
I was a little hesitant (on the 50-yarder). I didn't swing away on that one and kind of guided it through. We'll be fine. You forget that even though he was around last year, this was his first NFL game.
came eats game great last people played saying stretch year
He's always played the game with so much emotion. When you have a game like the other day, when you put everything into it and come up short, it eats away at you. Last year at 1-4, people were saying that was it, but he came back with a great stretch run. I wouldn't write him off just yet.
ball came crazy drops good handled hands hit impressed nervous sure
He hit the ball really clean. He has really good hands and drops the ball pretty low, which you need to do in Lambeau. I'm sure he'll be nervous like we all were our first game. But I'm pretty impressed that he came in and handled a pretty crazy day pretty smoothly.
days
It was just one of those days ? should have made the kicks.
good hit people scenario
Not many people know that my scholarship was to punt there. It will take a little to get used to, but I hit some good ones today. If worst-case scenario I need to, I could get us through, for sure.
bay best eventually green hard imagine next running team wait weird whether year
He's (Favre) the best quarterback I've ever seen. We'll wait and see, but it's pretty emotional. It's weird to think of the Green Bay Packers without him. Eventually it'll get that way, whether its next year or 10 years down the road, its going to be that way, but it's hard to imagine our team running out there without No. 4.
aware definitely happened josh last satisfied
I don't think Josh would ever say he was satisfied with what happened here last year, but he definitely was well aware of it,
consistent field good great hopefully kick means range swinging wind yards
By no means was 49 yards into that wind in range (for us). I know we should have made the kick (we missed). We had a great first field goal. We're not as consistent as we've been over the years, but we'll just keep swinging away. Hopefully we get some good breaks.
best
The guy's got nothing to prove. He's the best quarterback I've ever seen.
recovery
This has nothing to do with B.J., because I think he's made the recovery and will be fine,
best friend good miss
I miss him every day, without question, ... It's one thing to have a friend and a good teammate, but I would say he's probably my best friend, other than my wife.
