They went to the NFC Championship game without T.O., they went to the Super Bowl without T.O. - I don't know what makes him think he's so important,
football game last monday night showcase week
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.
expect game literally time walk water
He's away from the game for 12 years and we expect him literally to walk on water his first time back.
anybody ball best brady fingers football four game last manages maybe playing rings three throws tom yards
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.
eight game maybe offense played realize snap took tried
I played one game, and one snap in the shotgun. I'm the only quarterback that ever did that for him. I tried to get him to incorporate it into our offense back then, so it took him eight more years and 12 years away from the game and one (year) back to realize maybe he should do it.

The term 'genius' is inapplicable to anyone in this game. A genius is Norman Einstein.

This is a game, first and foremost. There was only one Vince Lombardi, and he died.
assistants chance coaches excellent football given good
There are excellent football coaches out there, and excellent assistants that could do a good job. But it's going to take time. With Tice, you have an excellent football coach. I think he should be given a chance to come back and coach that football team.

Martin seems to have a very, very good base of the quarterback position. I think the position looks like it's in pretty darn good hands.
anticipate ball guys help mark rod run speed
Laveranues and Rod didn't want to be here and be a part of what was going on, but now Mark has two guys that want to be here and will do anything to help him. Plus, Mark can anticipate the speed of the receivers better than Patrick can. He'll be able to get the ball out where Santana can run to it.
football foundation fun good running team tigers unit
I think they have the foundation of a really good-looking football team. His (West's) first (offensive) unit is pretty good all the way around ... receivers, running backs, line, quarterback. I think the Tigers should be a fun football team to watch, they really should.

Terry Bradshaw, college. Do those two things belong together? I have this vision of Terry sitting there with his Hooters wings and a person giving him a haircut from his race car and 50 TVs in front of him.
adapt adjust age answer biggest calling challenges faced greatest knew last modern none offense plays question run time work year
My biggest question wasn't about the organization, the work ethic, none of the things that have been part of Joe's life. My biggest question had to do with how he would adapt and adjust to calling plays in a different time in football. That really was one of the greatest challenges that he faced last year was, 'Can I run my offense as I knew it in this modern day and age of football'. And the answer was no.
