smarter
I think Marvin would have been the smarter hire, but I'm biased,
control emotion intensity
Passion, emotion and intensity are good, but they've always got to be under control.
best essence football last playoffs says since super talk team work
I think we're a better football team than we were last year, in every sense, ... This could very well be the best football team we've had since I've been here, which in essence says that we think we are capable, playoff, Super Bowl-caliber team. However, we did not make the playoffs last year. We don't have the right to talk in those terms. We've got a lot of work to do.
fairly
I think we've done things fairly intelligently. We've rebuilt without drastically slipping back at any one point.
defense diminished late people played season shots taking
I think what this defense did this season was diminished by people taking shots at who we played late in the season,
decided great perspective point
It had great strength, the point where he could probably play, but, on reexamination, from the long-term perspective, they decided to go with the surgery. I think they went about it the right way.

I think that's a quarterback trying to take on his share of responsibility,

That was as classless an act as I've ever seen nationally,

That would be the hope, but I'm now in some gray area as to how he feels,

That was very pivotal, very important. Obviously, you can't let a team control the ball that way.
career guy guys joy pass people prepare stage thousand
That's up to Deion. Having him here, as I've said a thousand times, has been phenomenal. It's been a joy for me to be around such a professional, and to see a guy at this stage of his career prepare the way he does and pass that on to people around him is special. Our guys are better for it.
account bad ball consistency continue next people presence rely run step todd ways
We need a consistency there, ... We've got to continue to find ways to get the ball in Mark's hands, which we'll do. It's not bad having Derrick Mason, Todd Heap, run the ball well. But to have another presence that people have to account for on the back side, with some consistency that the quarterbacks can rely on, that's the next step for us.
bowl contract finger great million ring super
Life's great for me. Expectations are low. I've got a Super Bowl ring on one finger and a $14 million contract in the other hand. We're doing it, we're doing OK. Life's good.
amazing contact contract minute signed together
I think they signed him at 12:01. It's amazing you can put a contract together in one minute because, of course, there was no contact before then. He's outstanding.
