We ought to be in pretty good shape to get ready for San Diego, ... We got out of the game healthy which is big... got to play some of these young guys tonight.
My entire life has been spent thinking about this game. That's pretty narrow... I don't view myself as a person who's well-versed in very many subjects. I'm not proud of that.
All the backs in the history of this game are the same when there isn't any hole to run through.
No matter how much you've won, no matter how many games, no matter how many championships, no matter how many Super Bowls, you're not winning now, so you stink.
Individuals play the game, but teams win championships.
I have a lot of great friends in football. The game was great to me. And I've been able to do other things in television and enjoy that, meeting those people.
Contract extension? Well, when it's appropriate, we'll see. I don't want to talk about that either.
We had a little problem there. We did, ... We need to improve our underneath coverage with our inside linebackers. That's one thing we need to do. We've got a lot of inexperience in there now. We've got a little problem here and there. We'll try to get it fixed.
We had two false starts, two penalties on the offensive line and four sacks. That's enough to stop some drives right there. We just got physically beat up.
That's unusual for that team not to hit the quarterback, ... They usually do that a lot. They didn't hit him once, so I was happy about that.
Listen, the NFL season at best is a tiring process. When you've been going every day since July 29, every single day, it's tiring for me. I don't know what it is for the other guys. When I see them on Sunday, they all look tired, too.
It doesn't look good for Jones. I'm hopeful we'll get over this. I think that's why we're having a tendency to not really push it, because I don't want him to have a reoccurrence and have him be out for the rest of the year.
I think he was kind of worn down, and he just looked like he didn't have a lot of gas on Sunday, ... I talked to him about that after the game. I said, 'Hey, we've got to get gas back in your tank.' I might have to rest him a little bit during the week in practice.
I think he kind of tweaked it a little bit. He's just not getting around. I'm getting a little worried about him to tell you the truth.
