coaching games hard hardest information last less question ready relative season seen situations staff team vanilla wants work year
It's hard because you just have less information to work with and what you do have in the preseason some of that could be pretty vanilla relative to what the team really wants to do. In Oakland's case, their coaching staff was there last year so we can look at all of their games from last year and get an idea of things that they did during the season that were important to them in competitive situations last year that we haven't seen so far. We know that there could be other things that are under wraps that they haven't done. We just have to be ready to make some adjustments during the game. I think that's the way it always is. There's no question that this is the hardest game.
brought coaching dean experience job joined past success system wealth
Dean Pees has done an outstanding job coaching our linebackers. When he joined us, Dean brought a wealth of experience into this system and has been a significant part of our success over the past two seasons.
accepted coaching father junior responsibility whatever whether willingly
My father was always just part of the team. He willingly accepted whatever responsibility he was given, whether it was coaching the linebackers or the junior varsity.
coaching knew owner questions several special
It was special and I knew that at that time. I told the owner (Modell) that several times too, when he had some questions about how the coaching was going.
football player coaching
I could tell you that in my entire coaching career I have never talked to any player, staff member about football air pressure. That is not a subject that I have ever brought up.
team coaching locker-room
I've learned a lot about the process. I had no idea how the balls got from the officials locker room down on the field and so forth and so on and all of that. That's not something I have ever thought or concerned myself about [on] game day. I've concerned myself with preparing and coaching the team.
coaching guys including staff
There are 11 guys on the field, including the coaching staff and everyone else on the sideline,
along coaching staff
I think the coaching staff is going along OK.
coaching job mistakes phases
We made too many mistakes in all phases of the game. We've got to do a better job of coaching and a better job of playing.
concerned everybody plenty sure teams
I'm sure the other 31 teams have things that they're concerned with today, one way or another. We have plenty to do right here. I'm not really that concerned about what everybody else is doing.
against bay best bit decisions evaluation final friday game giants green players quite sure win
I'm sure that we'll look at some of the players that didn't play as much in the Green Bay game (last Friday night's 27-3 win at Lambeau Field) a little bit more against the Giants and try to get the best evaluation that we can as we make our final decisions at the end of the week. I'm sure that the players who didn't play as much against Green Bay will play more than the ones who did play quite a bit against Green Bay. Let's put it that way.
bay bit green players sure younger
I'm sure our younger players will play a bit more than they did in the Green Bay game,
anybody beats somebody until
I mean, they're 7-0, ... They're undefeated. Until somebody beats them, I don't see how you can say anybody is any better than them.
credit early knew players turned
I knew we could play better than we did early in the season. It's a credit to the players that they've turned things around.
