Why would you live your life worrying about something that's not going to happen?
The time to worry is before you place the bet - not after the wheel is spinning. Once it spins, you forget about it.
I can't live my life worrying about something that might never happen.
Don't worry about it. It's just a bunch of guys with an odd-shaped ball.
I'm trying to keep my own house from burning down. I can't worry about someone else's house.
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.
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.
