attitude everybody lost thinks
I tell them all the time: It's a honeymoon. The attitude is great, everybody thinks that you're going in the right direction, but we haven't lost one that counts. When that happens, we'll see what happens.
begin chances last plays start timing training
I think he's not where he was for the first game, ... He got most of the reps in training camp, and his timing was right on. Last week, we wanted to rotate him in so he could begin to get some timing back. Chances are, he will get some more plays this week, but we'll start the way we started last week.
avoided bad came good jeff job reasonably
I thought Jeff came in and did a reasonably good job for his team. He avoided the bad plays.
again assumed chance charlie coaching currently decision everybody february maybe slight super talk until wait
I think the system, as it currently is, probably was a slight disadvantage to Charlie and myself. Everybody assumed we were going to the Super Bowl, which they were correct, and they didn't want to wait until February to have a chance to talk to us again and maybe make a decision about a coaching job. I would have to say it was a disadvantage.
asking block guys miss
Well, I thought about the possibility of asking those guys to not block at all so Dennis could make someone miss on his own. When we try to block, that's when we get penalties.
cincinnati competing division good pittsburgh playoff teams within
Well, we're just not good enough within the division overall. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are the measuring stick. They're playoff teams you're competing with, and we're not there yet.
help hope
I would hope that he's experienced enough to help us when he comes back.
best both coaches color football game guy hoping opening playing skin team transcends win
I would like to think the game transcends it all, and that's the thing both Marvin and I were working toward, and hoping to get. In the NFL, the color of a coach's skin doesn't matter. We're just two football coaches playing each other on Opening Day and the guy who can get his team to play the best on that day should win the game, and I think that's what we both want from our position.
guys happens improve plays practice running tempo
When that happens I think the tempo of practice is better because guys are running plays that they know. Hopefully, we can improve some of the things we are doing.
bit develop longer team work
We need to work here a little bit longer and develop this team more.
both
We'll play them both (in Chicago) and find out which one we think is best. If we don't think one of them is best, we'll play them both.
gone move perfect plays pocket situation stretch
Just about every situation he's gone in, he's been able to move the team. He hasn't been perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but he has some pocket presence, he can evade the rush, he can make plays and he has made plays. That's why I think he can do it.
might series situation
I might try to take a look at (Jones) if the situation is right. We might give him a series or two to see how he does on defense.
deal price somewhere work
I think they'll try to work something out and get a long-term deal done. But if he's not in their price range, they'll do what they do and look somewhere else.
