attack mindset pressure tempo ways
We have an attack mindset from the get-go. We're going to try to pressure you in as many ways as we can, from the tempo we play at to the formations we run.
kids talented
There are a lot of very, very talented kids out there. It's not just a one-man show.
next
Next year, at this time, I?d say everyone would be in to see David.
kid picked somebody sure type
That?s the type of kid he is. I?m sure somebody would have picked him up but that?s not what Jerry?s all about.
running cheating play
I've never had a quarterback run-driven offense. We don't run designed plays where we snap the ball directly to the quarterback and he's just running it. If the defense is cheating and overcompensating for your running back, then the quarterback needs to keep (it) honest.
jobs eye college
When I took the job in Philadelphia, we had a chance to hire a personnel guy and I hired Tom [Gamble], really from my relationship in college. When you're in college, you get to see scouts on a daily basis, and the ones you kind of hit it off with. I thought he had a great eye.
guy phrases east
Tommy's [Gamble] an East Coast guy, so he kind of talks fast and in quick statements and phrases, so I understood him and he understood me, and we just hit it off.
running thinking games
I think that's another misconception, [that] our quarterbacks run all the time. Quarterbacks can help you in the run game, they complement what you do, but it's a running back-driven run game.
mean profile
Profiles mean nothing. You could say, 'I want this,' but then it's not out there.
oregon unfinished-business unfinished
I have some unfinished business to complete at the University of Oregon.
games trophies looks
You don’t get a trophy after halftime. We don’t look at the scoreboard until the end of the game.
eagles mortgage
I'm not going to mortgage the Eagles' future for Marcus Mariota.
thinking play long
I think there's a lot of different things that factor into playing good defense, and you just can't say, "All right, if we just hold on to the ball long enough, we're going to play good defense."
thinking winning games
I think your goal is to win every single game you play. ... I'm not a guy that just puts a number on it and says we're going to do this, or makes a bravado statement like, "We're going to the playoffs and I guarantee it." I'm not a guy that talks about what we're going to do. I'm just, "Let's do it." And what it is is, we need to work extremely hard.
