[Bell's fourth-and-inches run for a touchdown and his 55-yard touchdown run when the Broncos weren't even trying to score are the killer plays, the plays that make coaches sleep on sofas four nights a week. On Bell's fourth-and-inches touchdown run, the Redskins had him trapped for at least a one-yard loss. They clearly had the perfect defense called to stop him.] We knew what the play was, ... We had guys calling out the play at the line. |

A lot of the parts of his game have improved. As coaches, we've done a better job of making sure that we're putting him in some situations where he can rush the passer. |
And our people were way ahead. A couple weeks before the announcement coming out (that he would start), we assessed and thought he was playing pretty good. |
As a defense, we've got to make them earn what they get a lot harder than what we did the last time. |
At the two minute mark, ... I said to our guys, 'We're gonna win it our way, right?' They yelled, 'Our way!' |
Because we were healthy up front, we really felt that we would have a presence in the pass rush with rushing four. That helped our secondary, which was banged up a little bit when we started the game. |
Buddy Ryan said it best. It's hard for a quarterback to throw with tears in his eyes. We brought the whole house. We left our two corners back. Bledsoe went hot and got the ball out quickly. Terry Glenn caught it... |
But it's still early; it's only Wednesday. I decided [to rest it], so what I'll do is go back out [Thursday] and try to get it going again and see how it feels. |
But right now, I'm just getting things evaluated, listening to the trainer, |
Chris has come a long way in the short amount of time that we've worked with him. |
Cod and halibut tend to co-mingle quite a bit. |
Cornelius is a strong leader on the defensive line. We like the fact that his leadership comes from the example he sets on the field. Then, when he does talk, he means it when he talks. He's had tremendous energy since he's been here. There are not many defensive tackles I would rather have playing for us in our style of defense than Cornelius. |
Each week is a dogfight, ... It's why the excitement in the league is what it is. |
