game good guys level nice snaps talent
They all get about 25 snaps a game and they've been doing a nice job. For big guys inside, I think it's a good way to do it as long as the talent level there is close.
against guys played randy
Randy was, in my opinion, the best. He really was the best. We played against him so many times; there aren't many guys like him around.
action bit breaks good guys instincts michael seem time
Michael has good instincts and good breaks on the ball. He's not undisciplined. Some of those guys who seem to be where the action is all the time are a little bit undisciplined.
add feeling guys prior short
My feeling is, for the short term, at least prior to the bye, we are going to go with the guys we got. If we feel that we have to do something there and add some depth, we will.
believe football game guys situations smart team veteran year
When you look at the two teams, (the Patriots) have been in more situations like this and they are more experienced than we are. They are a very veteran and smart team, and that's our goal, to get there. What I have to do is get our guys to believe they can be there. I believe we're going to be a better football team at the end of the year than we are right now because each game our young guys get better.
crank guys
The other guys have to crank it up a notch.
absolutely amount critical fair four guys next team weeks
The next two weeks are absolutely critical for a fair amount of guys on the team because its very competitive in about four positions.
almost guys impossible pick
It's almost impossible not to pick those guys if you need a quarterback because they don't come around very often.
game guys playing upstairs whatever
It's like, OK, we're playing the game and those guys are upstairs doing whatever they are doing,
bit country couple fortunate guys known number players positions pro star team though throughout truest
That team (Green Bay) was a little bit more of a star team. We had more than a couple guys that were really pretty well known at their positions throughout the country and went to Pro Bowls. Our team now, even though we are fortunate to have a number of players go to the Pro Bowl, is really a team in the truest sense of the word.
against ball drop good great guys overcome played
There were some guys who made some great plays, but we did drop the ball uncharacteristically. ...We played against a good team, and you can't overcome those things.
admired anytime best certainly coaching compare guys joe pattern wants
Anytime someone wants to compare me to Joe Gibbs, it's a compliment. He's one off the guys that if I could pattern my coaching after, he would certainly be one of the guys I've admired for a long, long time. He's one of the best ever.
bowls guys super team unusual
The unusual part ... our team isn't a very penalized team, in general. In Super Bowls in general, they let the guys play. Put those two things together, and it was a little unusual, and they were very, very costly, obviously.
finding fine football games guy guys lose overstated player players trick trying untalented win
I think that can be overstated just a little bit. If you have a very untalented guy who is a high-effort guy, you are going to lose every week. You like them like that, but the better player is going to win more games for you. The trick is finding those guys that are really fine football players and really don't think they are that great; they are always trying to get better.
