break figure league players replace team year
Yeah, things happen. It's one of those things where you just kind of figure out what you need that year and go with it. Sometimes you can replace players with better players, sometimes you break even and sometimes you don't. You look around with any team in the league and that's the way it goes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I've done it enough to be comfortable with it.
days
It was just one of those days ? should have made the kicks.
adrenaline ball feels games quicker rob seems smooth snaps
It seems like in games with the adrenaline you have going, Rob (Davis) snaps it quicker and I come to the ball a little faster, so I think he feels he has to get it down a little faster, which isn't the case. He can be smooth and put it down.
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.
came finger happened none owe people seem tradition
It's perplexing, ... None of us seem to be able to put our finger on what has happened here. There is so much tradition in this organization, and we feel like we owe it to the people who came before us to win.
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,
