believe complete drew nature reason understanding
I have every reason to believe that Drew will be 100 percent, and those of you that know him know what he's like and the competitive nature he brings. Once we have the surgery, we'll have a complete understanding of the nature of the injury.
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.
coaching consistent discipline exactly issues job needs people physical putting quite understanding
It's not physical issues, it's discipline issues in our coverage, and it's not where it needs to be, quite frankly. We're not getting people where they need to be on a consistent basis. My sense is that we've got to do a better job of coaching them, and they've got do a better job of understanding exactly what it is we're putting forward.
finish football good segment understand
It's no one segment of our football team. We're a good football team. But we still haven't been able to understand how to finish the deal.
everybody ours understand
I think we all understand that ours is a very difficult, competitive enterprise, and in my opinion, it's important that everybody is aimed in the same direction.
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.
surprised took
I should have still been able to get it done. I wasn't surprised they took me out.
