Adam has been making big kicks since his rookie year in '96. He's a pressure kicker. He's really consistent.
It's been a while since I've seen a more dominating team than what Pittsburgh has been in these first two regular-season games. They really haven't been in a competitive game. ... They're the best team in the league this year.

Kirk was a good fit for us in Cleveland because of the love he had for the game. He had the commitment to quality and the commitment to teaching that helped him succeed. He had expectations, but he was also fair with his players. His demeanor served him well, and I think that has helped him since he returned to Iowa.
He's been healthier this year, ... He's been out there every day. He's got a lot of reps so his technique and timing are better. Tom's a smart guy. He's worked hard to improve his overall body strength since we got him. And he's pretty athletic.
He's got a skill and we got a chance to let him use it, and I am happy for him. First time since '41. It might be 60 years again, too.
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.
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.
I'm sure our younger players will play a bit more than they did in the Green Bay game,
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.
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.
I'm respectful of what this group has accomplished, what the previous Patriot teams have done and what this means in terms of league history and all that. But none of that really means anything in what we do from here on.
It's somehow on the ball. Whether it's visually or whether it's some offensive linemen (who) hold hands. The guard and the tackle hold hands, so when the guard sees the snap he flinches or squeezes or whatever,
The best way I can characterize it is that he's day to day.
