The team has been so consistent over the last couple of years. There's a good reason why they were 15-1 last year and there's a good reason why they're in the championship game this year because they play physical. |
The tougher it gets, the better he plays. He gives them a lot of confidence; you can see it in how they play. |
The way they controlled the tempo of the game ... once you did have the ball, you had to try to take advantage of it. They did a good job stopping us defensively in the first half. They just played better and coached better than we did. |
Then we had him go out there after he tweaked his knee and came down the wrong way ... After he kicked and tweaked it a little bit he came back and had four kickoffs and three good ones and one bad ones. |
There are a lot of people in football, including some guys I respect, who've told me, 'Hey, you're crazy,' ... They're not high on Jake, but I'm convinced he'll play at a high level here. |
There is no question that Troy is ready to be an offensive coordinator. At some point, Gary is going to get bogged down with the responsibilities that go with being a head coach, and he will turn it over to Troy. |
There was a lot of time left on the clock and the wind was blowing. |
There's not a guy I respect more in this business, and that's before Bill became the head coach at New England. You might have him for a play or two, but he'll make adjustments very quickly and you better go in a different direction. |
They beat the first, second and third seed on the road, so all credit goes to them. |
They controlled the tempo of the game. They just played better and coached better than we did. |
They don't count double, but you've got to win the division games at home, |
They had a great game plan. They played big on the road, very well-coached game, very well-played game. |
They have a lot more speed at the linebacker position. They have a new corner who is a proven player in Sammy Knight. They have a very good rush defense, which is why they have given up only about 3 yards per carry, and if you can keep that up throughout the year, you can beat the best. |
They have confused people over the years and that's why they have the high sack total. They keep you off balance because they are really quick and very talented. |
They just assumed the guy was down. You gotta tackle them. You have to have three or four guys hit him. They just assumed he was down. |
