balls emotional game good great hard paid played terms throughout victory wins
Finally, one of the balls bounced our way. Not only was it a great victory in terms of wins and losses, but it was a great emotional victory. We played hard the whole game and it really paid off in the end. And I think throughout the season, it's something to look back on and say, 'Hey we did this before.' I really think it'll set us up with some good momentum.
business continue football group guys knowing page success sure whether work
We've got to continue to work on our communication. I think that's the success of any group or unit, whether it's in football or in business or anything, it's communication, knowing what's going on and just making sure everybody's on the same page and everybody's going to the right guys and doing the right thing.
advantage against backs case maybe playoff playoffs slight wall
Our backs have been against the wall for a long time, which isn't the case for a lot of playoff teams. We're comfortable with that situation, so I think going into the playoffs maybe we have a slight advantage in that regard.
allowed coach coming deserves games good great loyal man seen seven six step win
I think the organization deserves better than what they have had for six or seven or 10 years. This is an organization that has seen great, great success, and we don't want to be the ones that have allowed it to go unsuccessful for so long. With Coach Gibbs coming back, that was a step to getting back to the success. We want to win games for a man who's been good to us and very loyal to us.
confident greatly guys hit improved open passing standing stay thinking wait
I think we have a greatly improved passing game. I think we've got guys who can get downfield and the quarterbacks are confident that they're going to stay protected. I think that's the big difference: They're not going to be standing back there thinking who they're going to get hit by. They'll be able to stand back there and wait for guys to get open and be able to get them the ball.
confident greatly guys hit improved open passing standing stay thinking wait
I think we have a greatly improved passing game, ... I think we've got guys who can get downfield and the quarterbacks are confident that they're going to stay protected. I think that's the big difference: They're not going to be standing back there thinking who they're going to get hit by. They'll be able to stand back there and wait for guys to get open and be able to get them the ball.
control eight final games good learned lose penalties sitting win
I think we've learned about how we can win games here, and how we lose games. And going into the final eight games I think if we can control the turnovers and we can control penalties and always go out and play physical, we're going to be sitting pretty good at the end of the year.
center coming finally guys kids mentality school
I think a lot of kids coming out of school have the mentality that they have to be over 320 or something. When you finally get here, you see guys who play center well at 280. You see you don't have to be 330 pounds.
anybody bowl common-sense glaring gone last manner reason reasons since super team
I think anybody who can look at it in a common-sense manner - they went from a Super Bowl team to a 4-4 team that's in last place in the division. And there's probably a lot of reasons for that, but I think the more glaring reason is the controversy that's gone on since the Super Bowl.
communication great line mainly page stay time work
I think it was a great time as a line for us to have a bye week, ... because we got to work on mainly communication things. We've got to all get on the same page and stay that way.
good helps wife
Thankfully, I have a very good wife who helps me with a lot of stuff,
ball bat chance mark smart zone
Mark was smart to bat the ball out of the end zone and give us a chance to still be in there at the end.
calm excited four mark plays point
He was excited first to be in there. We had four plays there where things weren't going real well, and he just said, 'Let's calm down, I need to calm down myself, and let's go out and play.' From that point on it was just like having Mark in there.
everybody fit last maybe productive questions system talking year
I think he's been validated. Everybody was talking last year about how he was a 'system' back and maybe didn't fit our system and wasn't going to be productive here. But here we are at 10-6, going to the playoffs, and he's a 1,500-yard back. Those questions are answered.
