Not changing ruined Buddy Ryan . He wouldn't change from the 46 defense, even when people figured it out. Not Bill. He changes every year.
It was a rough weekend. I don't know which was the worst call. There were a lot of them that creep into my mind.
When you're angry, you're grinding at what you're doing all week. You pay attention. Sometimes when you feel good about yourself, you don't cross a few T's.
Would it be a surprise to you if I said the Dallas Cowboys? ... I liked what I saw of the Cowboys in the preseason. I liked their schemes. I liked their energy.
They have a tremendous sense of being calm on the field.
There is unbelievable freedom for an analyst to be in a two-man booth, ... In a two-man booth, Troy will be able to set up a game. He will decide what he wants to show and teach an audience. It's like a quarterback being able to call his own plays.
There's an unbelievable freedom that comes to an analyst when he's in a two-man booth, ... ... It would be like a quarterback going into a game and calling all the plays that he wants.
I said things to Bill that were so cruel and so over the top and so out of place that I couldn't repeat them. One curse word after another, horrendously negative, hateful things.
Playing well and winning the Super Bowl helped my credibility. Otherwise, when I'd give an opinion, people would say, 'What has he done?' If I didn't win that Super Bowl, I'd probably be coaching somewhere. TV would not be an option for me. So, (winning the Super Bowl) does help.
He can stay relaxed and throw the ball down the field better than anybody in the NFL.
Whatever it takes to make yourself a little angry.
What impresses me is the energy it takes, emotionally and physically, to constantly do that. To do that in a game, that means you've got to do it in practice, too. What if he's under the weather a bit one week?
Look at the two New York quarterbacks, Joe Namath and myself. We've done a lot with one damn game. That's just the truth.
I'm happy for him. I believe in his talent. I believe it's evident.
