certainly challenge last played time
We certainly have to play better than the last time we played them. It's going to be a challenge for us.
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.
bit came excellent game last shape weight
There was a little apprehension. But he came in excellent shape with his weight down. He was a little bit better in the last game than the first game and I think he's getting better each day.
adverse allowing composure crossed emotional fine half happened last level line lose lost move second settled
There's a fine line between going in there and being emotional and allowing it to have an adverse effect, which I think happened to us last week. We settled down more in the second half of that game, but we lost our composure at times. I don't want us to lose our emotion, but we can't lose our composure. There's a fine line and at times we kind of crossed that, but we have to play with that same emotion, that same level of desperation or else we are not going to move on.
credit last lose losses sure
We didn't lose after the bye last year. But that's all right. I get enough losses around here, so I just try to make sure I get credit for some of the wins.
last
At that point, the last thing I thought we would do is fumble with Jerome Bettis.
ball last thinking
You give the ball to Jerome Bettis, and a fumble is the last thing you're thinking about.
certainly excitement faced last time
There's going to be a lot of excitement in their stadium. We're certainly going to have to play better than the last time we faced them.
game gotten last legitimate question second wish
Why was he not in the game in the last series? ... That's a legitimate question ... I wish I would have gotten him in the game in the second half.
guys last
Like I told our guys - this has nothing to do with last year.
enter football last looking opportunity people playoffs pressure season single team trying week win
I think pressure is everything. When people get in the playoffs, there's pressure to win. It's win or go home. I don't feel any more this week than I did last week or the week before. It's one and done if you don't play well. We're looking at this week no different than last week. We're just trying to win a football game. If we do, we have an opportunity to go on, and if not, our season is done. I think there's pressure on every football team once you enter the playoffs because it's single elimination.
game last point time wins
I think he has more wins than I do. He had the last one. The last game was kind of a big game. He was a junior, and I was a senior. We lost, 6-0, on a kickoff return. I was not on the kickoff-coverage team, I do point that out, the only time I was not on the field.
last worn
I think he was worn out by the end of last year.
against ball couple fifth football good last played question ranked rely run sit throwing
We've got to run the ball better, there's no question about that. We've played two pretty good defenses and this one's no different, they're ranked fifth against the rush. We have to be able to run the ball more efficiently than we have the last couple weeks. We can't sit there and rely on throwing the football all the time. Not that we don't want to have balance, we do.
