A guy who knows the pulse of a team. A guy who knows what's going on, when to back off and when to push harder. Coach Singletary has all those skills, unmatched.

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.

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

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.
