alter based bit calls certain defensive lewis might runner style thinking versus
Their defensive calls will be dictated, to a certain degree, by a Jamal Lewis in the game, based on what they think we're going to do, or the style of runner that Jamal might be, versus a Chester Taylor, ... Now, will they have to alter that thinking a little bit with Chester Taylor? Maybe.
bit certainly compared concerns deal great intensity last played takes
I just sensed that we didn't have that same intensity that it takes to win, ... That concerns me a little bit because, compared to last week, where there certainly were errors, I thought we played with a great deal of intensity and passion. I don't know that we did tonight.
challenge coming helmet imagine line means mentality noise offense percent run stadium thinking wear
I'll say it again: It's the Indianapolis Colts that are coming into our stadium with a mentality that our quarterback is going to run his offense at the line 80 percent of the time, ... I can't imagine what that means to Baltimoreans to see that Colts helmet in this stadium and them thinking they can run their offense on the line. Fans, the challenge is there.

clearly decision game needed snaps tennessee viable year
I had a quarterback that had a year off. He needed those snaps. I wanted to get as many viable snaps with Anthony Wright - going into the Tennessee game - as I could. Clearly the game was out of reach, but it was a tactical decision to get Anthony the reps.

confidence faced worst year
If you can do it, if you can come out of it whole at the other end, then you have a confidence about you. You've already faced the worst of it, and that confidence just grows, and by the end of the year you're a factor.

If you look at the playoff picture right now, I don't think a lot of people really thought Miami was going to beat Indianapolis, because Indianapolis has the big offense,
became deal direction elvis given heading indication jim leverage onto perceive potential pushed reason situation
I don't perceive this is as much of a problem, but if it became one then we'll deal with it. If Elvis and Jim wanted to use this situation as leverage to be pushed out onto the market, they could.

But we've been given no indication that it's heading in a direction they're not comfortable with.
