But we have never faced a whole season with all of that following,
I got the chance to be myself. They just didn't like it. They fired me.
If we can do this, what can't we do? ... If we can sustain losing Norm . . . what can't we handle?
I have great respect for what he's done. We've played against each other, and I think it's really cool that we have this chance to match up again. This is the first time we've gone head to head as head coaches.
I have great respect for Walt and all the stuff he has done. For years, I have been calling him to ask him what's up, how to do this and how to do that. He is a really good football coach.
I have been under contract for that long the whole time I've been here.
I don't have to make any decisions because when we started out, John David was well ahead of Mark. It couldn't happen at a better time.
I don't have much connection with the sense of history being made. Somewhere down the road, I'll put sense to it. Right now, I'm in the middle of it, focused on the game.
I don't feel a whole lot different about going into this game than I did back then. It's all the dreams of a kid coming to the fore.
I don't even know how powerful it is. But to go through these struggles, we're becoming really strong.
Obviously, the focus goes to Sanchez. He gets a great opportunity to be in charge, run the whole thing. We'll just try to maximize that, get Mike McDonald some work and wait for J.D. to get better.
Nobody has anything on him catching the football.
Possibly the thing he has that is most unique is his ability to make unbelievable cuts at top speed, that he doesn't have to gather to do those things.
One of the keys to finding consistency is not being knocked any which way by the hype and the buildup. We've found a way of dealing with that and ... taking our best preparation into the big game.
