It was an ugly game, won by some ugly performances, but we did come out on top. |
It was tough to get him to admit that he couldn't play with the injury. |
It wasn't a pretty kick...I couldn't tell if it went in, under, over the bar, but it went through. There have been prettier kicks missed. |
It's a brave new world around here. This is the best I've felt about a team at this time of year since I've been in Minnesota. |
It's a shame anyone had to lose that. What a great rivalry. |
It's all just paper. Consistency is what it's all about. We have enough talent, but are we consistent? If we are, then, yeah, we're going to have some fun. |
It's going to take him some time to get his rhythm down, and we certainly have to be intelligent, ... Smoot is a thoroughbred and thoroughbreds need their legs more than anything.

So we've got to be very careful not to let his tremendous enthusiasm, tremendous energy, tremendous passion keep me from making the best decision, which is to take it slow with him. |
It's only one game. We've got a ways to go. We have a lot of stuff to fix. |
It's sort of unbelievable, if you think about it. |
It's tough. He wants to do well, |
It's tough. I wouldn't want to change places with (Saints coach) Jim Haslet. He's a great guy and a good football coach. But it's tough to be in the situation they're in right now. |
Jon is a very good coach, ... He knows that Brad is going to give us some information so he's going to change things. We'll have to learn what the changes are as the game progresses. |
Keith plays special teams, he plays linebacker, he plays rush defensive end. We have a 3-4 package that we named after him. He can rush the passer, he is doing a real good job playing coverage. ... Those are the kind of players that you need to win. |
Knowledge is confidence, and knowledge gives players a chance to play fast, |
Leading the league in interceptions is a big turnaround from where we were a year ago. |
