They've taken their other defensive ends and put them to outside linebacker. You're really looking at what amounts to a 6-1 (six defensive linemen and one middle linebacker). |
This is a good opportunity for us this week to go up against another good team, a very hot team, and continue to get ourselves ready for the following week's game, whoever that might be against. We're going to approach this as a normal week. |
This is one of those great games that went back and forth. It turned into a track meet at the end. I'm proud of the guys for hanging in there. |
This is our best opportunity to pull everything together in terms of substitution, communication, execution, playing on the road, playing in a hostile environment, all of those kinds of things. |
This is our best opportunity to pull everything together in terms of substitution, playing on the road in a hostile environment, communication and execution. This a good opportunity for a football team to make progress and move ahead in a number of those different areas, but, regardless of what happens Friday night, we're still going to have a lot of work to do and we?re still going to have further to go. |
This is the best place for him because we know him the best. We know what his workout levels are. How to challenge him and how to monitor him and how to treat any problems that he would have doing it just like any other player. Basically, whatever he's doing, he's doing here. |

This, as we all know, |
Those are pretty good football players. There's no gimmes on that front, I can tell you. |
Tom did a nice job. He did an outstanding job. I thought it was good team play, pass protection, (the) receivers. I thought that the receivers caught the ball extremely well (Sunday). |
Two kicks blocked, ... Running out of bounds [when the Patriots were trying to kill clock]. We need to do a better job managing the clock than that. |
Tyrone played the play very well, ... He was playing his man. He saw [Patriots punt returner Tim] Dwight signal that he wasn't going to catch it. ... Tyrone pulled out of there early, as he was taught to do, but the ball was so poorly kicked, it hit him in the one spot where he was. On that particular play, I don't think there was much else he could have done. He did about all he could. |
Understanding what not to do sometimes is just as important as what you can do. |
Unlike most other interviews that you have, you usually don't talk that much technical football with an owner. |
