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.
communication field good playing teammates
If we can get him on the field and get him some playing time, I think that would be good. It'd be good just to get him out there in pads, get him used to his teammates and the communication that's involved.
catch caught deal games gets needs playing prepare time understand whenever whether
Whenever Braylon gets here, he's going to have to try and catch up. We are going to be playing games and we are not going to have time to try to catch him up the way he needs to be caught up because we have to prepare for an opponent. He's just going to have to deal with that and understand that. That's just the way it is whether it's Braylon Edwards or whoever.
hands high himself knows move played playing proven season sees system
Everyone sees his size. But I really like his technique. He knows how to use his hands and move his feet. He's played this system and proven himself in this season by playing at a high level.
jaded playing starters teams work
We still have a lot of work to do. That's why you look at the preseason with a jaded eye. Teams aren't playing their starters the whole game.

I'm proud of our players for playing to the end. It came down to one play and we made the one play at the end that was enough to win.
best field whoever
We have to feel like whoever they put on the field is the best in our division.
business conditions confidence good helped lifted nfl produced production sure tackle
The punter did good and for him to go out in the conditions and punt the way he did was good. He made a good tackle on the return. I'm sure his confidence is lifted after that performance. He's been in the NFL and it's a production business and he went out there and produced and helped us to win.
best chance figure gives identify players turns
We identify the players we have to do something about and then figure how we're going to do it. If it turns out to be what we did in New England, it will be because it gives us the best chance with who we have.
ahead backup couple fill game good guys somebody sunday tackle valuable work
We're going to work out a couple guys and see if we can find somebody to fill that spot. That's why it's good that the game is on Sunday and not (yesterday). I think that the backup center-guard is not as valuable as the backup tackle spot. So if you can get a backup tackle that you like and that has some upside, I think you can go ahead and make that move.
asking block guys letting miss somebody
I've thought about the possibility of not asking those guys to block at all, ... When we try to block, that's when we get the penalties. I've thought about not asking them to block and just letting Dennis making somebody miss on his own.
bad feeling gut
It would have to be my gut feeling. If I got a real bad feeling about the way it was going and I wanted to make a change, that's what it would be.
found nfl question reviewing ruling soon supposed whether
As I have found out, we were supposed to let the NFL know as soon as we found out. We did let the NFL know, but there is some question about whether it was soon enough or not. They are reviewing the incident, and they will make a ruling on it at some point.
