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.
I think there are a lot of good people, a lot of good football guys in the NFL.
There are two things in New York, euphoria and disaster.
I think confrontation is healthy, because it clears the air very quickly.
I'm not really in the excuse business.
I'll call somebody 'dumb' or 'stupid' if they make a dumb or stupid play. I don't know any other word for it, and if they don't like the word, that's too bad.
You don't get any medal for trying something, you get medals for results.
There is winning and there is misery.
Look, coaching is about human interaction and trying to know your players. Any coach would tell you that. I'm no different.
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a quarterback who thinks playing quarterback is just about passing.
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.
