I really believe in what Mike Nolan is doing. I wanted to see it through.

You have to give Mike Nolan a lot of credit because he has a great group of coaches and they've reacted in a very mature way. These guys are teachers. There may not be as much talent as other teams, but they have the building blocks to become better.

Just getting rid of that (2-14) stench from last year, taking advantage of this fresh start, that's what this game is. To win in a game that's truly meaningful, that's great.

We are getting rid of the stench from last year.

I'm not saying I've ever disrespected any coaches, but sometimes a coach asks you to do something and you think to yourself, Could he have done it? ... But when Singletary tells you to do something, asks you to do a certain technique, what are you going to say? I mean, he did it, he's been there, he's done that, so he holds a ton of respect.

sees a ton of potential in every single guy.
