The running game in pro football has gotten so boring. There's just four or five plays they can run. I think the whole thing is headed in the wrong direction, and it's really unfortunate.
The Steelers had the best grouping of players in the history of the game. No question about it.
Brady is at the top of his game now. He knows what works and what doesn't work. I suspect he'll be more directly involved in what they do, and this will even further stimulate him.
The thing you don't want to do is use him too much against some sturdy run defense,
I've always thought Steve could be mayor of San Francisco without too much of a fight. That's just the kind of man he is, and how highly he's regarded in that town. Everybody knows he didn't have an easy job following Joe Montana. The way he did it says all you need to know about him, and then he made quite a career for himself, too.
Could New England stand up to the Steelers defense of the '70s? No chance. And I don't think they had near the balance the 49ers had during (the Super Bowl) years.

Don't look at his last game, or the one before that, or before that. Go back seven or eight games, or maybe a year or two, if you want to try to see tendencies, and even that won't help you.
You have to reinvent yourself each year, ... What helped us was that there was some turnover each year.
This thing is really rolling. This would normally be a three-year project, and we are doing it in nine months.
There's no doubt in my mind . . . he was a victim of lead poisoning.
We had an excellent coaching staff, a great attitude among the players and that youthful enthusiasm, It was a team that really shouldn't have been where we were.
I was only 25 when I drafted him, ... It's hard to believe.
we just can't miss an athlete. Our recruiting program has to be the very, very best.
