I have a lot of respect for what Tom thinks and what he says. I don't really have any problem with what he said.
I have a lot of respect for what those (three players) have done, especially Rohan, who has been here for three years. He's been a great leader and has done, really, everything that we asked him to.
I have all the respect in the world for Rodney Harrison. I told him that when we brought him here, and he's made great contributions to this team. There's no question about it. Unfortunately, he had a tough setback last weekend and so did the team, but that's the way it is. We're playing San Diego this week. Unfortunately, he won't be with us. I wish he was, but he's not.
What pleased me most probably was that we made decent steps with fundamentals and the foundation of the team,
We got a lot of people an opportunity to play and you never know when that's going to be beneficial.
We got a good block at the point of attack from Graham. Neal pulled and the safety came up and filled the gap quicker than we expected. That wasn't really the guy Neal was expecting to block but he saw him in the hole and reacted to it and dug him out of there. Matt and Logan (combination-blocked) the tackle up to (middle linebacker Danny) Clark. We didn't quite get Clark blocked, he got over the top, but he wasn't able to get enough on Corey to keep him out.
We kind of stumbled around there on a few things tonight, ... It's going to catch up to us if we don't watch out. But it's good to win.
What geniuses in the NFL came up with that? ... Someone's got too much time on his hands.
What difference does it make? It's the same plays. Our system is our system.
We talked last week about (Randy) Moss being in a special category offensively for the Raiders. You've got to put Peppers in that same category defensively,
Wesleyan's variety of curriculum, people and ideas helped prepare me for this aspect of my career, which began in 1975 and has continued to evolve every year since.
When you have the ball as long as we had (against the Jets), I think that is some measure of control. But we'd like to have more rushing yards for the number of attempts. There's no question about that. There were some positive things in the game about our running game. There are certainly a lot of things that we can work on. We'd like to be more consistent and gain a few more yards. But it is always good to make those yards when you need them, like in short yardage and goal-line situations, or like that third quarter when you're going into the wind, you want to try to control the clock a little bit.
There are 11 people out there playing defense. What makes a difference is how those 11 people play. That's what defense is about. It's about team defense. You are always trying to isolate it into one player, one situation or one thing, and it just doesn't work that way.
There are 11 guys on the field, including the coaching staff and everyone else on the sideline,
