against ball beat blitz bring chance key prepared pressure yards
You always have to be prepared because they bring pressure from anywhere. But the key is if you can make yards against them on first down, and then it's second-and-4, second-and-5. Then you got a chance to, at the worst, get it to third-and-2 or third-and-3 and a chance to get the ball out and beat the blitz with the ball.
against compete opportunity special
When we get the opportunity to compete against each other, there's something special in that.
against critical field giving goal kicked lead talked three week yards
The critical thing in my view, when you look at the whole thing is, we kicked the field goal to take the lead and they go 62 yards for a touchdown in three plays. We talked all week about giving up big plays. You can't do it against any team, particularly against Pittsburgh.
against competition good obviously playoffs prefer qualify ready season simply tested year
I think very simply stated, qualify for the playoffs against that competition and you are ready for the playoffs, because you have been tested by fire. I prefer to play that, because you've obviously had a good season the year before.
against common common-sense legislate
We can legislate against that as long as it's officiated with common sense.
affect again proved time
They've proved time and again it doesn't affect them.
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.
improve
We're very disappointed, but we are going to look at and see what we can do to improve for this week.
dolphins fans head spoke
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.
