against ben biggest continuity develop difference hard practice timing
Ben has been working hard in practice to develop some timing and continuity with the receivers. That will be the biggest difference against Indianapolis this time.
best defensive expect future hard integral question success worked worried
There's no question that he's the best there is when he's healthy. He was an integral part of our defensive success before the injury, and we expect him to be part of the future as well. He has worked very hard to come back, so we're not worried about him at all.
beyond football granted grew grounded group hard looked next resilient taken throughout traveled tunnel vision
We have traveled a hard road, and grew as a football team, and individually. This is a very grounded and resilient group of guys. We've never taken anything for granted and looked beyond the next game. We have kind of had tunnel vision throughout the process.
hard-work challenges coaching
I didn't get out of coaching to get back into it. This is my next challenge and I'm planning to work hard at it.
anybody coaches eight hard hit weeks work
I don't know when it's going to hit me, but a lot of hard work went into it by these coaches and these players. Eight weeks ago, I don't think anybody would have thought we'd be here today.
against contact couple football good happy hard last practice ran running sat since
I was happy for him. That was his first live contact since last year's championship game. He's been running well in practice the last couple of weeks. He has been a trooper. He has sat there and been patient. Duce ran really hard against a good football team.

We kind of traveled the hard road, but in the course of it, we probably grew as a team. It was tough to do what we had to do, but this is a very resilient, a very grounded group of guys.
bring draft everybody free good happens hard hope maybe pick players special starting
We had a special group, but it's hard to bring everybody back. That happens every year. You hope to keep a good nucleus, draft well and maybe pick up some free agents. It's going to be a challenge, but I like where we're starting and the players we're starting with.
ball break eight guys hard line snapped teams tempo within worked
We've worked hard with our look teams about when they break the huddle, getting the ball snapped within eight to 10 seconds. These guys come up to the line of scrimmage and they're gone. It's different. We've worked on it all week. The guys are getting a sense of what the tempo is like.
defending hard short
It's hard enough defending this quarterback (Tom Brady) on a long field, ... When you have to defend him on a short field, it makes it even more difficult.
defensive harder line offensive played time
I think their defensive line played a lot harder than our offensive line did. I don't think (Ben) had a whole lot of time in that game, and at times when he did, he wasn't able to connect.
bring business everybody free happens hard including lost people replace
We know in this business it's hard to bring everybody back. They (potential lost free agents, including Randle El) will be hard people to replace but that happens every year.
challenge front goal golden hard hungry lose lost nobody opportunity realize remembers sight super win won
They're just as hungry as we are. It's a golden opportunity for us, but don't underestimate the challenge that's in front of us. ... You realize how hard it is to get there, but don't lose sight that the goal is to win a championship. Nobody remembers that you lost a Super Bowl. They remember who won a Super Bowl.
bit hard
They're going to be there, it's just a little bit hard logistically.
