I thought the first part of the year, when he was healthy, I think that is about as good as I've seen anybody run.
We have a lot we need to improve on, ... We've got a long ways to go. Certainly, I don't think anybody here feels like we're satisfied with our passing game or our rushing game right now, so I think you try to do a good job of analyzing it. But certainly our work, and what we're concentrating on, are ways to get more production. I would say across the board we need to step it up. I don't think anyone is satisfied with what we're doing.
We haven't done one thing that anybody else can't do.
They rushed the football on us, ... We don't like anybody doing that. It kind of has been something that's happened to us a little bit here recently.
The thing I want to emphasize is this: We haven't done one thing that anybody else can't do. We have certain rules in the league. Here's the cap, here's the numbers, here's what you can spend. So everybody in the league can do what we're doing. It's just that many choose not to.
Now I was joking, so I hope everybody in Dallas - because I've got a lot of buddies there - I hope they all took it as a joke. But to anybody that didn't, I apologized.
Right now, for anybody in this organization - I would hope in the entire town - to be focused on anything other than Philly would be ridiculous. We're getting ready to play the most important game that a lot of our players will play. ... If we lose the game, we're not going anywhere. So my mind-set is on one thing, Philadelphia. That's the way I feel about it.

I think in that game it was total domination all the way across the board. I don't know what else to say about it. Everybody who watched it would probably say the same thing. It can happen to anybody in this league, but I also think they're very, very good. We'll be a little nervous about playing them because they kind of overwhelmed us that first time.
Here is one of the biggest games I've ever been at, and Patrick Ramsey has to go in and try and win it for us. He's handled this situation better than I think anybody could, and it's a tribute to his character. He was ready. He stepped in and made some plays for us.
I don't think anybody has a handle on it. If they continue to move it, it would be a concern as the season gets closer.
Certainly, I don't think anybody here feels satisfied with our passing game or rushing game right now,
If there's anybody that's got better long-ball reaction than that guy -- he turned around and snatched that thing from I don't know where.
In the first part of the year when he was healthy, I think that's about as good as I've seen anybody run -- very forceful, very aggressive. I think that's a real problem for us because in the first go-round, I don't think he was healthy.
