chance hard improved marlin
Marlin is still the same. He improved a little bit. There's a chance he could play. Probably without practice, it's just hard to say.
hardest wants worker
Peyton is the hardest worker I've ever been around in my years of coaching. He never wants to make a mistake.
double favorable few good guys hard single teams three
It's hard to double three guys. You know you're going to get at least one of those guys in single coverage. Some teams have two good corners. Very few have three. So where's the favorable matchup?
guys hard hit matter wrapping
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.
fortunate guys hard helped miss practice trained worked
Our guys worked hard in the off-season program. They trained well, and we were fortunate to have guys who didn't miss practice and games. That helped our continuity.
hard-work guy talent
He's probably the hardest-working guy I've been around who has great ability. Overachievers work hard because they have to. Peyton has rare talent, but chooses to push himself like he doesn't.
motivational teamwork hard-work
Hard work and togetherness. They go hand in hand. You need the hard work because it's such a tough atmosphere... to win week in and week out. You need togetherness because you don't always win, and you gotta hang though together.
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.

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.

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.
advantage allowed beat denver jump last playoffs start toward
Even last year, when we were 12-4, we didn't get the bye week, and we had to beat Denver in the playoffs before we ever got to New England, ... That was a disadvantage for us, and an advantage for them. This start we've had has allowed us to get a jump toward getting that first-round bye, which is a real goal.
