aspect city ended extremely kansas played short
We were out-played. Kansas City I thought played extremely well in every aspect and we ended up on the short end of it.
confident drew eric felt good honest parker realize situation
We had the long fourth-down situation and Eric Parker and Drew make it down to the 7-yard-line, and I'll be honest with you, I realize there's no certainty, but I felt very confident with where we were. I just felt good that at the 7-yard-line we'd find a way to get it in the end zone.
catching change practice tip
We are catching everything in practice so we are going to change our tip drill. We need to change it up because what we are doing is not working.
fell short team win
We fell short of our goal, clearly, and that was to win the championship. But I wouldn't say that it is a team that underachieved.
We feel very, very comfortable with our position.
controlled huge invited last pulling today win
We controlled what we could today by pulling out a huge victory. We're still going to try to win the last two and see if we get invited when it's over. That's all we can do.

We're very disappointed, but we are going to look at and see what we can do to improve for this week.

I spoke with ('72 Dolphins Head Coach) Don Shula right after the game. He congratulated me on the victory. The fans got their money?s worth. I thought it was going to come down to the end and it did.
surprised took
I should have still been able to get it done. I wasn't surprised they took me out.

Early on, while here in San Diego my first year or so, I used to reference him as one of the best I have ever seen. A year ago when (he was) injured, I threw the caveat away and said I believe he is the best running back I have ever seen in professional football.
absolutely believe best diego driven early given pride reference running san seen success threw wants year
Early on while here in San Diego . . . I used to reference him as one of the best I have ever seen. A year ago, when (he was) injured, I threw away that caveat, and said I believe he is the best running back I have ever seen in professional football. The best part about it, given all the success he has had, he is absolutely driven by one thing and that is a pride that he wants to be the best.
adversity counted difficult eight faced injury problem starters step time year
Every time they've been faced with the kind of adversity that injury brings, they've managed to step up. It had to be difficult for them. I counted eight new starters that they didn't have a year ago. That's a problem for anyone.

Our entire team should be in the locker room. I don't know what he was doing. I want him in the locker room.

Everybody got their money's worth. It was a terrific football game. It came down to our ability to make some plays in the end.
