great regular remembered teams undefeated
Going undefeated has never been our goal, ... The teams that get remembered are not the ones who have great regular seasons, they are the ones who do something in the playoffs.
flash
He's all substance. He's not flash and dash.
against bigger playing
He's always been that size, so it's not like he's got to get used to playing against bigger guys. He's always done that, and for him I don't think it really is an issue.
aptitude blessing good looks might position
He's got some aptitude there. I think (Doss' suspension) might be a blessing in disguise, because it looks like it's going to be a pretty good position for him.
treatment
He's getting treatment every day and it'll probably be a game-time decision,
afternoon bit gave problem
He had a little problem getting loose, but we think he'll be fine. We gave him a little bit of the afternoon off.
against alex anyone coached john judge next sure throws time
He made some throws that I'm sure he won't make this time next year. I think Alex is going to be good. I coached against John Elway in his first game, and it was very similar. You can't judge anyone by their first game.
needs
He needs some rest. If it was a regular-season game, he'd probably play.
bit good locker room talked team
We talked about that a little bit in the locker room tonight. We're a good team and we're good when we play our game,
bit energy good last legs maybe offset played practiced quickness sharp sunday week
We're probably not as sharp as we would have been had we practiced all of last week and played a game, but I think by Sunday we're going to be fine. I think the energy and the quickness and the legs we had will more than offset the little bit of maybe not as good timing.
decided facts hands happiness happy looked obviously sure thankful whatever
We're obviously happy for Mike. I don't know what the league's rationale is on it, but I'm sure they looked at all the facts and that's what they decided to. It's really out of our hands and we've just decided to be thankful for whatever happens.
against beat bit defend emotion emotions hopefully
Hopefully we can defend that a little bit better. But they play well and they play with a lot of emotion when they play against us. We've got to be able to beat them.
incorrect negatively speed view
I didn't really read anything into it other than he wanted more speed on his team. ... I didn't think it was a racist comment. It may have been politically incorrect to say it that way, ... but I didn't view it negatively at all myself.
hired name rod talked
I did not know Rod at all when I hired him. I got his name and talked to him on the phone. That's all I needed.
