great process view
There's a great process here. It's a time-tested process. It's a culmination of a lot of people's view points.
edges great inspirational job leader setting
I thought Joey's (forced) fumble was huge. Joey's just an inspirational leader for us back there. He did a great job of setting the edges (Sunday).
good great offensive personnel
He's a great offensive mind. He'll make use of the personnel you have down there. He's very resourceful. You got a good man.
ambassador both doubt fame football great hall league national terms
He's a great ambassador for the National Football League in terms of how to be a professional, both on and off the field. The guy, without a doubt in my mind, is a Hall of Fame player.
benefit case dealt fatigue great knows rectify year
I don't think it's a case where he has to rectify any one area. It's just recognition and being patient. I think that's the thing. He probably dealt with fatigue as the year went on, but I think now he knows what to expect. He went through it once and I think that will be great benefit to him.
good great guy nose people powerful prototype recognize rookie tackle watch weight
Casey's the prototype nose tackle in the 3-4. He's got great balance, he's very powerful and he can move. He's down to the same weight he was when he was a rookie and that's good for him. This guy has recognition, not just for sacks. When people watch him play, they recognize how important he is to our defense, and what he allows us to do.
casey defense game good great guy middle rock sideline solid teams uses
Casey has been so solid for us. He's kind of the rock in the middle of that defense and he's a guy that uses up two blockers. He's got great balance, he can still go sideline to sideline and has a good feel for the game and understands what teams are doing to him.
ball call decision easy great guy inside
On a fourth-and-one with a guy like Jerome Bettis, it's an easy call to make. Down around the goal, he's got a great feel for that. As long as the ball was on the one or inside the one, it was really an easy decision to make.
call easy gives goal great guy line red skill using zone
What Jerome gives you down in the red zone is how we are using him. On a 4th-and-1 you have a guy like Jerome Bettis. It's an easy call to make really. Down around the goal line he has a great skill for that.
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.
credit football four great turn whenever win
Whenever you turn the football over four times, you aren't going to win many football games. You have to credit Jacksonville for a great game.
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.
american-coach call football great pass
I think the pass to Hines was just a great call by Whiz.
consummate great players team
Jerome has been an inspiration to everyone, players and coaches. He's more than just a great player, he's the consummate team mate.
