As the defender, if I have outside leverage on you and then I get beat outside, then that's really a problem.
They've taken their other defensive ends and put them to outside linebacker. You're really looking at what amounts to a 6-1 (six defensive linemen and one middle linebacker).
We've got good, balanced play from both of those ends as we have from our outside linebackers, Willie and Rosie, or even Mike earlier in the year. So I think being balanced on defense has helped us.
We know Richard is a pretty good force inside. He has been for four years. We thought we could get some force from the outside with Jarvis and Rosie (Rosevelt Colvin).
They ran the ball at will; they passed the ball at will. They have good offensive football players. They play both inside and outside and just beat us all-round.
They have good players. Not just (Stroud and Henderson), but certainly they're a big focus of it and they're right in the middle. You have to deal with them every play. It's not like you have a corner where you can throw to the other side or you have an outside linebacker (where) you can run away from him. It's two tackles. There is no play where you can run that you don't have to block them.
The guy can certainly play outside linebacker. We know he can play defensive end. I imagine he can move inside and play defensive tackle. There's no question he can play tight end. He probably can play offensive tackle. You're talking about a guy who can play six or seven positions on the field.
We were prepared to play him a little bit less, but he's in good condition. He was doing fine on the sideline.
We missed you earlier. We're going to fine you for that, take it out of your last check,
We?re going to try to take advantage of the extra time this week in terms of meetings, and trying to go through some things we feel like, the last six weeks, teams have repeatedly tried to attack us. Those are things we can address and try to improve on.
We're going to approach this as a normal week. We're treating this week just like every other week this year in terms of our preparation for the game.
I've told everybody to be ready to go. I'm sure that we'll look at some of the players that didn't play as much in the Green Bay game 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 younger players and 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.
I've talked to Ty, but we never talked about any contract or anything like that.
I've been in the game for a while. I've heard 'Belichick' and 'genius' together. I've also heard 'Belichick' and 'moron' together.
