When you can take a wide receiver and make him a nickel back, ... when you can take rookies and make them starters, when you can take free agents off the streets and win a world championship, that means the philosophy and the scheme is bigger than the players.
Those were guys, maybe not in as much of a publicized way, that were the heart and soul of the defense. Yeah, they added Chad Brown. They added the athletic ability, but do you have the cohesiveness that's necessary?
The Denver Broncos just aren't going to allow Kerry Collins to complete a pass in the middle of the field.
For me, Monday night still is the big night for football in the NFL. It's the last football game of the week and it's a showcase for all the players.
He's away from the game for 12 years and we expect him literally to walk on water his first time back.
He's playing the best football now. Maybe he doesn't get the records, maybe he doesn't have the yards or have the most touchdown passes, but from a game operational standpoint, I think Tom Brady throws the ball as well as anybody in football, manages the game as well as anybody in football, and has three rings on his fingers in the last four years, and he's a winner.

I like the idea of these guys getting an opportunity. They have a chance to spearhead the next frontal attack of coaches.
I worked hard. I worked late. I went in early. I did everything I could to gain an advantage.
Kirk Cousins has played much better at the quarterback position than Robert Griffin III has,
I was always told that I was too small, too skinny, too slow, not tough enough, and I never ever believed what people told me.
The term 'genius' is inapplicable to anyone in this game. A genius is Norman Einstein.
