driving fact force game last message sure talked
It's been an inspiration to our team, no question. We talked about it. The fact that we're able to play this last game in Detroit, we're getting him back there. Now what we have to do is make sure this is a positive. That's the message now and the driving force for that team, really.
football game kicked ready
It's become more of a production. It's a big production. It was big back then. I don't know, it's a big to-do. But they still have to play a football game when it's kicked off. At that point, we've got to be ready to play football.
It's been a long time. Mr. Rooney, this is yours, man.
greater required studying trying
It's required a greater focus. We're studying them and trying to find any little idiosyncrasies to give us an edge.
ahead both danny further upgrade week
Danny is further ahead right now than Travis. Hopefully, I'll be able to upgrade both of them, but we'll see how the week progresses.
blocking danny defensive dirty guy offensive true week
Danny does all the dirty work. He's the guy who's out there blocking linebackers and defensive linemen ... Danny is a true fullback in every sense of the word. He's like an offensive lineman in the backfield. He's a guy who has been there for (us) week in and week out. He doesn't say a lot.
pleased
They have been pretty solid. I have been very pleased with that ... they are getting nothing but better.
chance earlier maybe next
They got a chance to see that one earlier in the season, and maybe they'll get to see it next year.
plays running unfold
You don't see us running a lot of different plays with Willie. They're the same plays, they just may unfold differently.
blessing brings class great means
This means so much to the team. This is a blessing because Jerome is such a great guy. He brings so much class and professionalism to our team.
fine
There was nothing really there. Now he'll feel better. He'll be fine by Sunday.
challenge excitement game playoff
There will be a lot of excitement in that stadium, their first playoff game in a long time. It's a big, big challenge for us.
base direct football good maybe players science
There's a lot of good football players out there. There's no direct science to this. You try to base it on an interaction of maybe 15 minutes, so you never know.
chance field goals holding rather win
It's a first. But we were holding them to field goals rather than touchdowns and got a chance to win it in the end.
