defense few people quite scheme
The scheme they had on defense for us was something quite a few people up here can play,
air ball fantastic few great hands people running
Santana has fantastic ball reaction, ... Very few people can snatch a ball right out of the air like that. And he has great burst. He can be running and he doesn't even put his hands up because he has such confidence. He's very much a downfield threat.
american-coach people
People who enjoy what they are doing invariably do it well.
football free guys people
People say, 'Why would you go get the free agents? Well, look at the guys we wouldn't have on our football team.
blitz catch comments mistake people played scared teams
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.
assignment environment fight hard people reason supposed tells tough
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.
against hard helping improve league people work
We're all working hard to try to improve it in any way in the league and particularly officiating is a big deal, ... I think we've got very professional people there, and they work hard at it and we need to be a part of helping them and not working against them.
certain coming easy free gets legs looking people protect trying yards
I don't think it's as easy as people make it out to be. You also have to protect in there. You're looking through your legs and trying to get something back there 15 yards to a certain spot. Your head's down and there's someone coming who just gets a free whack at you. I don't think there's anything easy about that deal.
business chasing concentration deal dealing drama football full handling myriad people players problems unhappy whatever wind wrong
Whatever your business is, we all have a drama going on in our own lives. We're all unhappy about something. You have sickness, marital problems, a myriad of things going wrong in everybody's life. You have to deal with those things right away. You have to get their full concentration on football. I'd like to be able to communicate even more with my players when things aren't going bad, but it's just like everything else in life. The problems take over, and you wind up chasing the problems. I'd say handling people is the most important thing you do as a coach. Dealing with people, really, is all football is.
character fight great guys level obviously people personal
It's not Xs and Os. It's people and character and making great plays, ... It's more of a personal thing. It's the character. It's the fight - because up here most of the guys who get to this level are obviously talented.
add agency care college environment fewer free mistakes people played player project somebody trying ways
There are different ways that people feel like it should be done. Any way that you can add a player -- I don't care if it's a trade, the draft, free agency -- I want to be aggressive. Free agency is a place where you make fewer mistakes because you're not trying to project somebody from a college environment to the pros. You've got somebody that has already played up here and been successful.
clock decided fast hard people plane premier sign struck worked
We decided Phillip was one of the premier people we would go after, and when the clock struck 12, it was fast paced. We got him on the plane and worked hard to sign him.
award born gave people tremendous week
He's been very, very competitive. Some people are born to be accountants and lawyers. Some are born to be quarterbacks. And he was. He's very tough. We gave him an award this week for being tough. He's a tremendous competitor.
anytime looked pass people protection
Pass protection didn't look good, and we looked sluggish. Anytime you don't do well it's a concern, but it is the first time out and we had a lot of people in there.
