ability confident force hesitation huge impact lewis reckoned run taylor
We're very confident when Chester Taylor is in there and we have no hesitation with him. But Jamal Lewis is a force to be reckoned with, and when it's all said and done, he will have a huge impact on our ability to run the ball.
beat compare good knew people problem
With Young, you knew we were going to beat him up. He was just too good to be true. The problem that I see, personally, is I don't know who you compare him to. I think that makes people uncomfortable.
gotten moving reason
The reason I said that was this organization, because of what it had to go through (in moving from Cleveland), it had gotten mired in mediocrity,
correct negatives next positives pull ready
We will pull all of the positives out that we can. We will try to correct the negatives and get ready to go on to next week.
advantage backs biggest fresh late stay
To a degree, the biggest advantage is you stay fresh and are able to tag-team the backs a little bit, especially late in the season.
came deal good great next obviously plain spot week work
We got a lot of work to do plain and simple. This bye week didn't look to be in a good spot when it first came out, but obviously right now it's what we need because we have a great deal of work this next two weeks.
group people thankful
As I have always said, I'm very thankful and appreciative to be part of an organization and a group of people that we have here.
elvis interested
Elvis was very interested and wanted to go out of his way to get a familiarity with me, and me with him,
ankle doubtful high imagery responding treatment
Ed's responding to treatment real well, all the imagery is good. But it's still a high ankle sprain. He's very doubtful for this game, but we'll see how it progresses.
ankle high imaging infamous point serious three totally
Ed is probably the most serious with the infamous high ankle sprain, which is like the turf toe, more serious than it sounds. We'll have to see how it progresses. The imaging of the three are not totally done, but that which we've done up to this point is encouraging.
ball catch compensate eventually focus great hope others played running solid special
Focus on what you have, not what you don?t have. We had great defense; we were running the ball well, played solid special teams. That?s what you focus on and hope the others can compensate and eventually catch up.
balance baltimore beer bump challenge factor fans lose noise pace time wear
Fans the challenge is there. Pace yourself. Don't all go get beer at the same time, balance it up. Same way going to the bathrooms. The first time there's a little bump in the road, don't lose your nerve. Keep up the noise because we can wear them out. The fans can be a factor. Baltimore fans can be a factor in this game.
life player sounds turned
Fault? For what? They said they got the player they wanted. We got the player we wanted, plus. Sounds like life turned out pretty good.
ball bit build certain certainly change defense enhanced good profile remain run success sure thrown tried
We've had a lot of success with a certain profile, ... I'm not sure that as much as we've tried to change the profile a little bit -- and I think we have enhanced it, I think we've thrown the ball a little bit better -- it hasn't been as productive. I think we can build on that, but our profile should remain the same: Play good defense and run the ball well, which we haven't done in two games. That certainly has to be a focus.
