I spent a lot of time with my teams, especially in the East Coast teams, talking about dealing with the elements a lot of time, and a lot of instruction about field position and those kind of things. I like that variable.
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 was kind of thinking back to Seattle last year, ... We kind of talked about that. We're just fortunate, really.
Wait, he hasn't been that good now, ... He has to improve his short-yardage and goal line. He turns his rear end in the hole too much. That's a bad thing to do if you're an offensive linemen, so I talked to him a little bit about that. But I think just considering everything you have to be pretty pleased with him. I think his confidence is growing.
Contract extension? Well, when it's appropriate, we'll see. I don't want to talk about that either.
The players' minds are off that game, ... They are working on San Francisco. They have been working on it since 8 o'clock this morning. They are not thinking about Washington.
We're not really in the business of passing on information,
I don't do many endorsements. I'd rather get doused by Gatorade than bust my butt selling it.
On offense, we were sloppy a little bit... couldn't take care of the ball, and had some penalties. You don't get to win many of 'em doing those things.
I got two high-strung players, you know? That's it.
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.
If you're sensitive, you will have a hard time with me.
I got more money than I can spend now.
I think there are a lot of good people, a lot of good football guys in the NFL.
