We score there and the game's over and you certainly don't question that.
becoming certainly coaches dream flattering head help problem stand
I've never had a problem with that. It's flattering to be wanted, and certainly I would never stand in the way of any of our coaches if they have a dream of becoming a head coach. If I can help them in any way I would certainly do so and will do so.
certainly choices issues problems responses talked terms
I've never had any issues with Ben. I certainly have talked to him sometimes about choices and consequences, the same thing you do with any other player. But I have never had any problems with him in terms of our communications and what his responses are, and that's all I can ask.
certainly choosing couple decision easier guys job last position recognized team tough unselfish
They are all very unselfish guys and that certainly will make my job easier (in choosing who plays). While it's a tough decision to make, they have recognized it, and, that position has epitomized the unselfishness on this team the last couple of years.

Disappointed in the effort tonight, certainly offensively. We are not in sync on offence, and that was evident.

Willie's done a good job. Willie's earned an opportunity he's been given, and I don't anticipate changing Willie. But certainly we'll have to sit down and see how the rest of the mix plays out.
certainly maybe positive start three
Maybe in two or three games, it's going to start to come together. I certainly want to see our first units go out and show some continuity. We don't need to be on all cylinders, but we need to show some positive steps.
certainly challenge excitement last played playing third time
This will be our third time playing them. They're explosive. They played well defensively down the stretch. There will be a lot of excitement in that stadium. It's a big challenge for us. We certainly have to play better than the last time we played them and better defensively than how we played today.
certainly cherish close coming opportunity relay
We've been close many times. So certainly I think you cherish the opportunity that you have coming here, and you try to relay that to the players.
certainly drew fortunate good hold offensive people quality running surrounded talk
It's the same thing Drew will probably talk about: You are only as good as the people you are surrounded by. (Ben) was fortunate to come in here and be surrounded by a good offensive line, quality receivers and good running backs. And he has certainly done his part to hold up his end of the bargain.
