category mentally physically player
Bavaro's probably as tough of a - physically and mentally as tough a football player as I've ever coached. So, I would put him in the rare category there.
football gave good guys hanging miami physical proud tough
I was really proud of our team. It's tough down here. Miami is a good football team. They're well coached, they're physical and they gave us all we wanted. I'm proud of the guys for hanging in there.
blind easy help left physical playing position running side spot tackle tough
That's a tough position to play. It's a lot like playing corner. You're put there on an island. It's not all that easy to give a left tackle help. A lot of times you can't give him help . . . To play out there, on the blind side of the quarterback, and still be physical in the running game, it's a tough spot to play.
behind challenge cut football good mark mentally physically team tough win work year
We're on to Jacksonville and we've got our work cut out for us there. Jacksonville's a tough football team. They're physically tough and they're mentally tough. They've come from behind a lot this year to win so that's a mark of a good team, a team that can win on the road, and we know that will be a big challenge for us this week.

I just report his physical condition. That's all.

ball certainly clock consistent control few gain game good measure number positive quarter question running rushing short third work yards
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.
defense difference isolate people playing situation team trying work
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.
coaching guys including staff
There are 11 guys on the field, including the coaching staff and everyone else on the sideline,
couple defense everybody football helped job last minimize offensive prepare regular role team
When you have a football team, everybody has a role on it. And Ro's role, for the most part in the last couple of years, . . . was to get the defense ready. Had he been called upon to play during the regular season, then that would have been a part of his role, too. But, for the most part, it wasn't. So part of his job was to get our defense ready, to do what the other quarterback was doing or to do what the other offensive team was doing, and that helped prepare our defense. In no way can I minimize that.
amount best field football level prepare time
We've got the same amount of time that Jacksonville has to prepare for the game, so we're on a level field there. We just have to do a better job. You've got to play your best football in January. It's that time of year.
average games people points slowing
When people say they're slowing down, I don't know what games they're watching. I'd like to be able to go out and average 35 points a game.
certainly improvement room saying
There certainly was room for improvement there. I'm not saying that was any masterpiece.
bold knows players regular staff treating
We're treating this like a regular week. Put it in the headline. Bold type. It's a regular week. The players know that, the staff knows it.
