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.
believe certainty defensive era finest guys jim mammoth people playing pounds running seen weigh
I believe with a certainty, in my opinion, he is the finest running back I have ever seen in professional football. And I know people say: 'Well what about Jim Brown? And what about Gale Sayers?' That's all well and good, but I tell you what, in the era that we're in now where you have defensive linemen that weigh 300 pounds and run 4.75, and these mammoth guys that are playing linebacker, I think with a certainty, in my opinion, he is the finest running back that I have ever seen.
anybody believe blessed ethic finest gone greatest record remarkable running seen single skill terrific work
He's a remarkable combination of terrific skill blessed by God, a work ethic unparalleled by anybody I've been around. And his single greatest asset, in my opinion, is his pride. I've gone on record before, and I believe this, that he's the finest running back that I've seen in football.
finest kansas running seen
He's the finest running back that I've seen in football. We had Marcus Allen, of course, in Kansas City. But he's the finest that I've ever seen.
couple course feeling football game good household last league maybe national people plays quite recognize running sure throughout
He's never been a household name. But I feel quite sure that throughout the course of the last couple of years .Ê.Ê. people in the National Football League recognize what he's done. You get a pretty good feeling for it during the game when you see running plays that maybe get 2 or 3 yards.
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.
