Q&A with Brett Favre

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/football/pro/dolphins/sfl-favreqa090308,0,1714578.story

excerpts of questions relevant to us..

(On what rivalry in the NFC North can he compare the Dolphins- Jets rivalry and why) – "I sort of got that question just now and my response was, 'Every game I've ever played in has been a rivalry.' Of course playing the Bears, the Vikings and Lions, it just kind sort of comes and goes in spurts. It kind of just, it seems like the Vikings rivalry heated up a little bit as years progressed and we struggled to beat those guys over there. When I think of this rivalry here, I think of (Ken) O'Brien and (Dan) Marino going toe-to-toe all of the time and just putting up astronomical numbers. I'm excited to be a part of it to be totally honest with you. I hope it's as exciting as it has been in the past, just like the rivalries that I've been a part of in the NFC North. I don't know if I can compare it to anything; I'll have to play in this game first to give you that answer and maybe I still don't. Once again I'm just excited about the opportunity."

(On his take on all of the storylines in the opening game) – "It probably is carrying a little more attention than it would've gotten otherwise. Is that good or bad? I consider it good, because we as players, I would hope everyone of the guys in this locker room, or in that locker room, want attention good or bad. It gives you an opportunity to shine on a big stage which you get anyway, but this one kind of brings a little more attention to it. You do have to block it out. I've been fortunate throughout my career that I've been able to put that stuff aside. I don't know if it's amusing or what; it is what it is. There's a lot of reasons to want to watch this game. But once the first kickoff takes place it's all about football and that's going to be the case all year long."


(On what concerns him most about the Miami defense) – "They're physical, they're tough, they don't disguise a lot, but that's their plan. They just come right at you. If we don't match their physical style of playing we're going to be in trouble. It's all about just knocking you in the mouth. They're pretty stout up front and pretty savvy at linebacker and we have to be able to handle that."

 

I especially like this last question. I think that he's spot on with his anaylsis. They made the defense simpler this year for the team so they're not ganna do a whole lot of fancy stuff. Its the same defense that Dallas ran last year, and Favre struggled against it going 5/18 for 2INTs so hopefully we can repeat those results.

he may be surprised about "disguising" stuff

 we might not be doing all the weird stuff Saban was doing, but i have a feeling that we will have numerous disguised blitz packages. We have 11 guys on D that can blitz effectively now. He won’t know where it is coming from.
