I believe it will end up requiring surgery. It's an injury that we feel better about with surgery. It's a break that they'll get fixed up after Seattle. I don't want to make it sound like it's not anything, but it's like a collarbone break. You get the bone back together and it heals and you move on. It's not a joint injury. |
I can tell you that this team worked very hard this season. I told them not to hang their heads when they walked out of that locker room. They should be proud of themselves. |
I can't even think at all it's any louder than what we've been practicing in. It's awful sounding and it's loud and I'm told it's a jet engine. |
I can't think of a more satisfying win to get us into the playoffs. We have a lot of high character guys in our locker room who stepped up today to win a game we had to win. |
I can't think of a more satisfying win to help get us into the playoffs. |
I don't know if we ran out of gas. |
I don't know if we ran out of gas. I'm not sure what the problem was. Their defense played tremendous. We knew we'd have our hands full with their offense. |
I don't read all that stuff. I don't have much comment. |
I don't think it's disrespectful or lewd. But I think what the league is concerned with is: Where does it stop? |
I don't think the number of receivers will change much. It can based on the opponent and match-ups. Again, that varies week-to-week. I look at it more as a good thing than as a bad thing. |
I don't think the offense has changed that much with the change at quarterback. They seem to have opened it up a little bit (but) they still are going to rely on their defense to get turnovers and a short field. |
I don't think there are any ill feelings about it. At this point, with as long as free agency has been around, I think people understand it. You can't fault the player. They're doing what is best for themselves and their family. It's just part of the business. |
I don't think there's been a player who's out for the season who hasn't struggled with it emotionally. [Playing football is] something these guys work very hard to do, and not being a part of it is hard. I haven't known too many of them who have eased through it. It's a lot of hard work physically and mentally [to come back]. |
I felt going into those playoffs that we hadn't thrown the ball very well and for us to make a run we had to throw the ball better. This year, coming into the playoffs, I think it was reversed. We had thrown the ball much better, but we had to run the ball more efficiently. |
I had a good run there as an assistant coach. You are always going to have fond memories of places where you had success. As far as what it means in this exact game, this will be a tough game against a good football team at their place ... in a hostile environment. It's a huge order but it's doable. |
