certainly faster guys high
We're certainly bigger, faster than we've been. Our guys are okay. They can play at a high level; they just have to know that. We're not without talent, let's put it that way.
emotion emotions everybody forgets guy tick veteran
We'll put a guy in there who's a veteran player, and he's got some emotion too, now, on Tick (Burns). Everybody forgets that. Old Tick will do fine. He can get after it, now.
both game guys handled interview kinds meeting process sort stuff tape
Meeting them was impressive. You could tell both guys were bright. They handled the interview process very well. Then the game tape was very impressive. Once you sort through all the b.s., there's all kinds of stuff on every kid, but they were both bright-eyed and very smart.
change changed decisions examples game goes good guy notions people sure ton
There are preconceived notions and ideas. But they may change if a guy goes out there and plays. There's a ton of examples that have changed on game day. I'm sure the people who are with us making those decisions have pretty good thoughts, but I do think this is an important game. Who can play and who can't?
few good guys handle looked regular secrets step studied
You've got to step it up. It's not the same. What you did during the regular season, it's not good enough. You've got to be better. Those guys will be better. They've studied you, they've looked at what you do. There are very few secrets when you get to this point. You have to be good enough to handle these guys.
bullet cover guys loses talent yards
This guy's got bullet speed. So he can do things I can't coach. That no one can coach. He can do things that only guys with that kind of talent can. He'll cover 60 yards at times to make a play. He's intent. And that's what makes him tick. If he ever loses that, he'd be just another guy.
beat guy mistake pitch taking three washington
My pitch wasn't too bad. He wanted to come to UCLA, but we made the mistake of taking another guy and he went to Washington and I think beat them three out of four.
against england gets guy huge
He's made some huge plays. The play he made against New England was a huge play, it was the play of the year. . . . The thing about the guy is, he never gets down, never too high, never too low, just keep on playing. That's what makes him special.
against blossom caught developing football game good guy hard helped played quite receiving saw second seen space starting tight time weather
The first game, he was just developing as a starting tight end and wasn't quite there yet. And between that time and the time we saw him the second time, I've never seen a guy blossom like that. He went to the No. 1 receiving tight end in football in the space of our first game and the second game. . . . He was incredible. We caught a day where the weather wasn't too good (in December), and that helped us. And we played hard against him. But he's very good. He's a major-league talent.
anybody doubt doubts guys proud
These guys are fighters. And anybody who doubts them is an idiot. They're tough. And I'm proud to be around them.
goes guy knows respects team tough trust
You can trust him to do anything. And this isn't just an old guy that goes out there. He can play. He's physical. He's tough and he knows what we're doing. And the whole team respects him.
changes fast focus game good learn practice speed
The speed . . . changes from practice to the game. It's a whole different deal. And you've got to learn it's a fast game out there, and I think that's good for us. There's a focus there.
fortunate might skill
Same old John. Reliable. A leader. A little better than you might think he is. A little more skill there than you might first perceive. We're fortunate to have him.
aware conscious field happen nickel
We're very well aware that he was off the field too much in those situations. One thing that we have to be conscious of as we go is that doesn't happen again. We've got to rotate in our nickel situations.
