assume carries effect games might negative number physical
I would assume the number of games and carries he might get would not have any negative effect on him because he's such a big, strong, physical guy.
division football goal might national playing split team understand year
We're playing a division opponent, a team we split with a year ago. I understand those that might say, 'Well, you know, play Philip,' and all, but that's not the way the National Football League, in my view, is set up. Our goal is to get our 10th victory.
area believe fact football light might perform question team today year
We did not perform well in any area today and that's awfully disappointing for all of us. We're a better football team than we were a year ago. I believe that. Some might question that in light of the fact that we didn't play very well today.
accurately anxious career game might predict problem score surface time
The problem with that is every time I've ever done that in my career it's been a low-scoring game and when I've thought it (would be) a low-scoring game it was a shootout. Going in, on the surface you might think that, but I don't think there's any way to accurately predict it. All we're anxious to do is find a way to score one more than they have. That's all we care about.
believed confident good maybe might season statement
I said, and maybe it was a self-fulfilling prophecy, but I made the statement before our season began, that I believed and was confident we were a better team, but we might not have as good a record. Maybe I shouldn't have said that.
expect good guy knows leverage might
He's making very good progress, as you might well expect from a Northwestern graduate. He understands leverage and knows when he's got a guy off-balance.
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.
