I would like for the offense to look good, but that's not going to be easy against one of the best defenses in the league that I've gone against, ... It will kind of depend on how the game goes for us, but our game plan would be roughly a third, a third and a third.
I think he's a courageous guy. We need to get everything else on offense working together. All of us working together, including myself. I think he can make plays to win games for us.
We came up short on offense and that's on me.
Our goal is to try to hold it on offense in that situation, and don't give it back, ... Run time off the clock and protect the lead. We need to average more than that when we're rushing the football.
He just has to do his part, ... He doesn't have to do any more than that. He directs the offense and gets us points. He doesn't have to try to make something happen by himself.
He's tough-minded. He's got a tough, disciplined way of doing things. I know from going against him out here, it's extremely tough. You've got to be ready for a little of everything. It's a scheme I admire. You've got to have a lot of admiration for what they did last year. A new staff, third best in the league stat-wise, and we didn't do what we should do on offense to support him.

We wish the past two years could have been smoother.
We wish the last two years had been smoother. We wish there had been no injuries. We wish he could have played more and played back to the standard where he wanted to be. I know he was totally frustrated by it.
We wish Bill Musgrave all the best in his new role with the Falcons organization. Although it is unfortunate that he departed, we always want what is best for our coaches and their families, which is why we gave Atlanta permission to interview him.
The scheme they had on defense for us was something quite a few people up here can play,
I should have said, 'Hey, we've got several things we're going to turn in and want to look at with them,' ... 'We see it one way, and we'll see how they see it.' That should have been my comments, but I went specifically . . . I went over some things there that you can't.
I've been proud of our guys, the way they fight. We fight extremely hard.
Ethan's been around so long, it's a great credit to him. He might be as good a long-snapper as we've ever had. I put a lot of stock in snapping, and we pay him a lot of money to snap the ball.
