Did they time it up right? Is the offense the same, or will it take a step back?
I've seen a difference in him and I can't tell you how impressed I was the way he was in Indianapolis. I hate to compare, but he does have one thing in common with Tom Brady. They have a tremendous sense of being calm on the field. It shows. He doesn't get rattled and that's pretty unique for a second-year player like him.
Bill and I have never talked about it to this day, ... except for one little thing he said to me a few years ago: 'You are so lucky you didn't come.'
The team performed even better than I thought they would,
Everyone's trying to find reasons why the Patriots can't do it, ... Here we go again. I'm sure all across America today fans are saying, 'This is it this is going to finally get the Patriots.'
Why will T.O. and Bill work? Why will T.O. and Bill work?
Winning a Super Bowl gives you a bigger chip in the game, and people perceive you to be better than you are. It gives you a stronger voice in the game. For a young quarterback, it verifies to the organization and to your teammates how good he is and that he's the man that can lead them. He'll carry that tag forever.
It has rained 20 straight days. Are you willing to bet it's not going to rain the 21st?
Of course Steve McNair is not going to get paid like Tom Brady and Michael Vick, but so what? But he should get his, and it shouldn't crush the football team.
No one else knew him like the Jets did. And it's important that you hire people you know sometimes because it gives everyone in the organization a level of comfort. You know this person has the level of belief in the things you want carried out.
Make Denver make the decision here. In other words, put pressure on Mike Shanahan. What's he gonna do? Is he gonna run it and maybe waste a down because it might not gain a lot of yards, or does he take the chance and throw it and if it's incomplete it stops the clock. That's what the Patriots are hoping for.
The NFL Today. Mike Shanahan knows, at best, he's got this possession and - maybe - one more.
The NFL is about winning games late. They had opportunities many, many times (and) they did win a few of them the Jets come to mind. But they just didn't make the plays at the right time that they did the year before.
That's the favorite question. Everyone wants to know what the surprise team will be.
