There's no serious considerations for doing that. But I don't think you ever rule it out.
We're counting on Sean being here. We had a good talk about it today. We're both on the same page.
You always have a burning desire to do well, ... It wouldn't matter if it was the first year, second year, third year.
We certainly accomplished a lot this year. We were 6-10 last year, and the facts speak for themselves this year. We got a lot of good things done.
We had a miserable first year (6-10 in 2004), and that's real hard on you. So you go in the second year knowing you've got to make something happen. Being able to get 10 wins, that helps a lot. It gives the whole organization confidence. If we hadn't gotten into the playoffs, it would've been a real downer. Getting in the playoffs was somewhat of a turning point for us.
We had two long drives there that we didn't finish well in the second half, our guys felt like defensively, ... We gave up four big plays, which resulted in a lot of yardage there.
You and I are the players, God's our head coach, and we're all playing the biggest game of all.
We've had comments from people we've played -- that play was the one that really scared them. Teams blitz a lot, and if you catch that thing and there's one mistake by the defense, it's all over.
That was a tough assignment there. That kind of tells you the reason why people fight so hard for home-field advantage. That was a tough environment today, and that's the way it's supposed to be.
That was the most congenial conversation I think I've ever had with anybody. What I was saying to him there was, 'I think you can help the football team' - that's when my finger came out. I said, 'Look, you can help this football team. You can rush the punter.' But I was also telling him, 'Now, this is what you need to do in order to do that.
That was the first time we got manhandled by somebody in the regular season. Our guys just took it upon themselves. They knew what needed to be done and they knew they needed to play hard.
That was FedEx Field the way I sure remember it, ... We needed everything we could get today to win this game.'
That was FedEx Field the way I remember it. I really appreciate it and I want to say thanks to the fans. It was a big deal. We needed everything we could get today to win this game.
That's very important for us. We need to hit some of those guys. We put a lot of emphasis on who will still be there at (Rounds) 5, 6 and 7.
