good optimistic run
We're very optimistic that Deion will be here. He's in good shape. I don't have to run him in a 40 to see he's OK.
good heads pittsburgh playoff playoffs race run sand season stick
I've told our guys, let's just get to the midpoint of the season and stick our heads up out of the sand and take a look around, see where we're at, ... And if we're still in this thing, and Pittsburgh hasn't run away with the division, I won't be embarrassed at all to be in the playoff race or to be going into the playoffs at 8-8. Not one bit. We feel pretty good about ourselves.
depth good key
We have some good depth at key areas, and depth is always a concern,
approach came countless deep detailed given good head hours league learning mike needs passionate people qualities spent talking thinker works
Mike analyzes everything. He works at his trade. He came into it new, and spent countless hours learning the craft, talking with people around the league to find out what it is he needs to do, and given that opportunity, how he would approach being a head coach. He's very detailed in his preparation. Mike's a very deep thinker and very passionate about the game, and those are two pretty good qualities to become a head coach.
beat good knew
You knew we were going to beat him up. He was just too good to be true.
follow good obviously seems
Obviously it helps. But this is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league, so we'll see what he does this week, too. Can you follow up two good performances? It never seems to end.
believe feeling football good jets resolve sorry team
Only if we let it. Only if we believe what we read and see. I know the Jets aren't feeling sorry for themselves. I know the resolve that team has. That's a good football team.
coming fate fewer good knew obstacles talent winning
I was fortunate. A lot of it has to do with fate. I knew coming in we had a good talent base. And that this is a good organization. But there were fewer obstacles to winning here than I thought there would be.
athletes character core good months next six
I feel very good about the core of this team. We have some very good athletes here. We've got some very good character on this team. That's a good place to start, and we'll augment it over the next six months in every way that we can.
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.
certain continuity good huge initial key lack peter players solid todd
We need to look at some players that we don't want to let get out of here for lack of a good solid look, ... We need to get some key players -- Jamal, Peter and Todd -- that first good initial hit. That is a huge priority. We have got to see if we can have a certain continuity about us.
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.
argue cuss dog game good plans
We would argue and dog cuss each other about game plans every week. We would get at each other. In the end, we'd be bloody, but we'd have a good game plan.
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.
