anybody came football league loudly national response seen tunnel worst
When he came out of the tunnel in the pregame warm-ups, the response was unbelievable. I had been in the National Football League for 18 years at that time, and I had never seen anybody get booed that loudly in pregame warm-ups. It just didn't stop. It was the worst thing I had ever seen, the dangdest thing I've ever seen.
people player seen sure took
I've never seen anything like it. I had no idea it could be that bad. I wasn't sure why he didn't want to play in Baltimore, but the people took it personally. I've never seen a player get booed non-stop in pregame warmups. It was brutal.
add booing difficulty guys john plays prepare taking tough
It was tough because they were booing when we were in the huddle and guys had difficulty hearing. And, to add to that, John had to get the plays off without taking penalties. Like I said, I didn't prepare him because I had no idea it would be like that.
anyone seen situation toughest
It was unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it. It was brutal. It was the toughest situation anyone has ever been in.
anybody arthur knows owner
So that's as much the owner as it is anybody. Probably won't come out that way, but anybody that knows what went on knows that was Arthur Blank's idea.

When you're that successful running the football, you don't change what you did. I would say that's probably the way we will go.

Nobody wanted Peerless Price more than Arthur Blank,

because of what happened to us last year.
blame decisions everybody five gets offense struggling tough
You have to make some tough decisions. We've been struggling for five weeks, and I just feel like we need to make a change. I told Doug I feel badly. Everybody on offense should, because he's the one who gets the blame for it.
actively ask asked bad bob call coach head helping interested
Never is a bad word, to say you'll never be a head coach again. But am I actively looking? No. Did Bob call me and ask me if I was interested in being the head coach? No. He called and asked if I was interested in helping him by being a consultant.
everybody guy high job playing thinks time walk work
Everybody has high expectations for a first pick. Everybody thinks that the guy is going to walk out there and be a superstar, and it just doesn't work that way. But a lot more do end up playing for a long time and getting the job done than those who fail.
coach communication speaker system
Back then, you didn't have the quarterback-coach communication (through the speaker system in the helmet),

Keith Brooking of course is the worst injury. He does have some chipped vertebrates in his back. How long that will be I don't know, a lot of it depends on when the soreness goes away,

He's had a lot of progress the last three or four days.
