believe best diego early reference running san seen threw year
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.
absolute best concerned secondary
If we had the absolute best secondary in the NFL, I'd still be concerned about the receivers on that team.
approach best game
The best way I could characterize it is we will approach it like it's the first game of the year.
best fortunate qualities seem since
It's been one of the best things this organization has done since I've been here. They seem to find a way to get some of these youngsters that have some qualities that we think are important, work-ethic, toughness, intelligence. We've been very fortunate in that regard.
best eagles excellent football picked playoff team year
In my opinion, the Eagles are the best team in the division. I think the Eagles are an excellent, excellent football team. I picked them a year ago to be a playoff team.
best wants
He's remarkable. He wants to be the best. Ever. I know he's the best I've ever seen.
best continues decision drew stand ultimate
I know where I stand on it. If Drew continues to play well, and we continue to be successful, I don't know how you can do anything but keep him. The ultimate decision must be made on who's the best player.
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.
