(I told them), 'The commitment I need from you is that you're willing to come and embrace our community. And speaking for the city of Denver, our community will embrace you, |
[Involving consumers in the creative process goes against the grain of the agency mindset as brand stewards, but the payoff can be more authentic messages.] The general [agency] perspective is, 'This is our work, this is what we do,' ... We knew we'd be fundamentally changing the model. We knew we couldn't impose our creative stamp on everything. |
A cab brought us here. We don't know what to do, ... We need a hotel room so we can go to the bathroom. |
Another cut is on the cards possibly in the first-quarter of next year, |
As I change, it changes. |
Because of what they experienced in the last several years here, he was so badly needed here it was unbelievable. I wasn't here, but with Leaf it sounds like the whole team sat around and wondered what he was going to do next. Last year, [head coach] Mike Riley spent all his time trying to diffuse a ticking time bomb. |
Everyone is going to want to see if [the increase in the jobless total] was an aberration or if it will be sustained. |
I just look for great things from him. I see unlimited potential. And the reason I do is because he works so hard and he wants it so badly. He does all the things that the good ones do. The real good ones. And last year we even found out how well he caught the ball. |
I told the team before the game that we had to come out and play hard. We can't play a slow defensive game. We needed to play our speed. We got on the board quick and things worked out well. |
I truly believe that in this system, maybe more right now than ever, you must sure that the most important thing the organization has is the drafting ability, |
I've been driving that home since the start of the season, and the kids really haven't gotten it until now. Hopefully, it isn't a little too late. |
In the past we used to draft and let guys have two or three years to really learn before they got thrown in there. Those days are gone. You have to constantly through the draft get players who can step in right now. That's the key to it. Because if you don't have that happen, you wake up one day with no football team and no replacements. It's really pretty simple. |
It depends what it goes up to. As long as it's not too, too much, I don't have a problem with it. |
It is questionable whether this level of job creation is sustainable as productivity growth remains low, at 1.1 per cent, and the number of vacancies fell sharply in March, down 3 per cent compared to February and over 7 per cent compared to March last year. |
It took us a long time to get the lines together we needed. I almost cost us a chance to play in the state tournament because I waited so long to make some changes. It's working for us now. The kids are meshing at the right time. |
