It's not always about the sacks. It's about the quarterback pressure. |
It's not like we're messing with some jokes at wideout here, |
No matter how we get it done, whether it's ugly or it's pretty, a win is a win. That's the bottom line. |
Not to anyone outside of the locker room. |
Our pass defense suffered, immediately, like that game. We ended up having to move a lot of other people around. It's an adjustment when you lose somebody like that. |
Regardless of what 2004 was about, 2005 gave us a new opportunity. Everybody jumped at it, believe in it, worked for it. |
So restructuring wouldn't benefit anybody. It's hard to say what I'd say (in Brooks' shoes). I guess the situation would have to present itself. Until it does, I don't have an opinion either way. It'll happen eventually. Everybody gets to that point in their career. I don't know if I'm there yet. |
Sure, it's important. If you can't win at home, where can you win? It's the proverbial 12th man. You've got to get people excited about coming to Raymond James Stadium. It's been a while. ... It used to be when you came here, you expected a tough game. We've got to get back to that for sure. |
That guy's like Mike Alstott beefed up, ... Aside from being a big man in general, he catches the ball well and he blocks well. They line him up all over the field. He's as important to that offense as anybody. |
That was one of our goals, to win the NFC South, and we found a way to do it. Regardless of what 2004 was all about, 2005 gave us a new opportunity. |

That's not what I'm looking for. |
That's what I kept telling everybody. I told the guys from the beginning to focus on what we can do in 2005 and not what we did in 2004; and everybody bought into it. |
The nerves definitely hit you. It hit me a couple of times. You get over it, you shake it off. You have to realize it's just a golf game. |
The rest of the league knows now that we can be even better this year. We got after them a little bit tonight. Week 1, on the road against a great quarterback and a quality opponent. That's doing something. |
