The team is making slow progress. We did some things better in Texas. Not good enough grant you, but better.
game games talking team though
The thing I've been talking to my team about is that even though it's Ohio, it's still one game and we still have a lot of games we're going to have to play after this one.
condition drafted fair guy guys knew missed needs push rest talent team throw time wants
Everyone wants to push Braylon up. The guy has talent and we knew that when we drafted him. He missed some time and it wouldn't be fair to him and the rest of the guys on the team to throw him in there when he's not in the condition he needs to be in.
choices coaches forward guy hiring last moving next teams time wants
Everyone wants to get started and get moving forward for the next year. The more time it takes, the more they feel like they're getting behind. Particularly when other teams make choices by hiring coaches and they don't want to be the last guy standing.
applied ball bay belongs cleveland deserve game gave green pull soon team
As soon as Trent gave it to me, I said, 'This game ball belongs to the 2005 Cleveland Browns,' because it was a team effort. I think that they deserve it because they are the ones who applied themselves, went to Green Bay and were able to pull out that victory.
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.
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.

carry fourth good hang lose team win won
If we can hang into the fourth quarter, we are probably going to win our share. We'll probably lose some, too. But we won this one, and that's good for our team and it should carry us a little ways.
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.
confident continued felt five good guys happen job liked looking people resolute teams whether winning wonder
I did wonder whether it would happen or not. Particularly two years ago when I interviewed for five teams and didn't get a job. I felt if it didn't happen this year, it probably wouldn't. But I was resolute and confident with where I was. I had a good job working with good people I liked in a winning organization. A lot of guys are looking for that. If it didn't happen, I would have just continued to do what I was doing.

Reuben had a little drama in his life early in the week. But I think that with the support of his teammates, he felt like he had the team behind him.
attitude determination early far himself job nice role simon special team work
Simon has done a nice job for us as far as his attitude and work ethic. He had determination about making this team and he showed that early on. I think another thing that he has been able to do is make a role for himself on special teams.
