ball balls dropped drove field finish missed people slow
We drove the ball and just didn't finish some drives. If people want to make us go down the field at a slow pace, we can do that when we don't have all the penalties, dropped balls and missed assignments.
balls gotten knocked loose win
We've knocked a lot of balls loose and had some fumbles on the ground, but we just haven't gotten them. We've got to keep pressing and persevering because that will not win for us down the stretch.
balls generally guys knew martin plays situation throw
It's just that guys were very focused. We knew where a lot of the balls would go, and once we got into a situation where Martin had to throw and try to make some plays ... that's when you generally get the interceptions.
games careers balls
The game has changed since the '70s as more coaches have looked at ways to make it tougher on defenses. But I'm glad my career turned out the way it did - I would have never gotten a chance to learn the defensive side of the ball.
school way balls
I had 10 to 12 close buddies who I played ball with all the way from elementary to high school. That is where I learned to compete.

When we do what we're supposed to do and execute the play, we've been pretty good on third-and-1 or 2.

With my son's situation and our family, it puts it all into perspective.

We want to see if we can get that done, ... So our focus is winning the first one. This is a very critical two-week stretch for us.

We've got guys who aren't wrapping guys up, ... No matter how hard you hit them, you've still got to wrap them up.
ball game great special tough
We've got a tough group. You have to do something special to get a game ball from them, but (Smith) did a great job.
anyone calls coach passes personnel thrown wild
With the personnel they have, how coach Fairchild calls plays, those are the wild cards. They've thrown more passes than anyone in the league, and I don't think that's going to change.
ball knew run
We knew they wanted to run the ball and use the clock. Once we got ahead, we were able to not let that happen.
happiness happy looked sure
We're 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.
