conclusion fortunate great guys mike replace rid
Everyone kind of had it a foregone conclusion that Mike wouldn't be back, but you don't just get rid of guys without being able to replace them. We were fortunate that we were able to replace him with a great, great kicker.
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.
dan good great judged realize short super win
I think that is probably how he'll be judged in the short run. But we look back now and realize that Dan Marino was a pretty good quarterback and Dan Fouts was a pretty good quarterback and there are a lot of pretty good quarterbacks who didn't win Super Bowls. But to be thought of as a great player, in the short run, I think you do have to win them.
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.
best defense game good great offense shut sign win
Our offense is disappointed, though. They never like to get shut down like this. But it's great when you win a game and your offense doesn't play it's best or when the defense doesn't play it's best. It's the sign of a good team.
great kept passing
They kept us off-balance, made some great passing plays.
bit ended great guys inside overload rushing teams utilize
They've got great quickness; they're a little bit undersized for their position, but they utilize their speed, ... We've got other guys inside that have ended up rushing well for us so that teams can't overload on them.
football accomplish great-things
If we do what we do without panicking, we can accomplish great things.
clark dallas dwight good passes takes
Dwight should be good to go. Dallas Clark is about the same. We'll know once he takes the (neurological) test. If he passes the test, he'll be able to play.
dwight fine foot practice ready rest sat sore
Dwight sat out of practice but we think he's going to be fine and ready to play. He's got a little foot soreness, not really a sprain but just a sore foot. But all indications are he should be ready to go. So we just wanted to rest him today.
allowed defense figured fort held looks proud until
Our defense had to play well until we figured out what looks they were going to give us. I was proud of our defense because they held the fort and allowed us to play patiently.
anybody biggest cards children family gotten letters lost people rare situation variety
Our family has gotten a lot of letters and cards from people who have lost children in a variety of ways. The biggest thing is, it's not as rare as we would think. People have been in that situation and a lot of people have gotten through it. As much as you never want to be in it or want anybody else to be in it, people do make it through.
beat cincinnati defending east england good knowing teams
We went to New England and beat the AFC East leaders, we beat Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Knowing we can beat the good teams and defending our turf is a good feeling.
bob last looked national night tough
Bob looked fine. He told me last night that he intends to play, so we'll see. It's a big game, the national spotlight, so I think it will be tough to keep him out of there.
