We worked Thursday, Friday, Saturday (in Pittsburgh), and had three good days of work. I gave the team Sunday off as a transition day to take care of their families.
best certainly game move question won
We won the game, but we certainly didn't play our best game. We're going to have to play better if we want to move on. There's no question we were fortunate. But we won the game and that's what is most important.

They put pressure on you defensively and force you into mistakes.
certain game lines others physical respect unto within
A lot of it comes down to, in my mind, respect for the game and respect for the players. Do unto others as you want others to do unto you. It's a physical game that we play. It's a very competitive game that we play, but within that, there are certain lines that you don't go over.

A lot of people tell you you can't do it, but you know what, it doesn't mean you don't go out and try.

A lot of people tell you that you can't do something. Well you can't if you quit. We made history and that's what's special to me.
camp certain complement difference dramatic elements game perform plays prepare result stuff training
A lot of stuff we have done during training camp was done competitively. When you game plan, there are certain elements that you prepare for, certain things that you want to do. Certain plays will complement other plays. It's a pretty dramatic difference from that point. (But) we'll see. I'm not going to say that was the result of anything. You still have to go out and perform and do it.
pleased
They have been pretty solid. I have been very pleased with that ... they are getting nothing but better.
