A lot was going to be expected of him. If he's ready to go, it takes time. He'll just be getting mental reps instead of the physical reps. |
As a coach, I could lie and tell you the standard thing about, 'Oh, we'll let that fly under the rug,' but that's not how we operate. This is a team game. It's about all 11 and not just one. |
He's a strong guy, just a young man that is going to get stronger and bigger with the natural maturation process. The guy is a tremendous athlete; the sky is the limit for him. |
He's got Pro Bowl ability. Obviously, he's a guy we really couldn't afford to lose. |
I know subconsciously how my dad would attack certain offenses, all that kind of stuff, ... Dad was an unbelievable coach. Dad was stubborn, though, to a fault at times. That's also what made him so good, the fact that he believed a certain way so strongly. I think I'm like that to some degree, but Brian's there quick to remind me that that's not always the way it is. That's good. |
I said 'We've got to go before something bad happens,' |
I think that was when dad first realized how serious my twin brother and myself were of learning the business, ... I think he realized then that we knew a lot more about football than he had thought. |
I think we have to get off the field on third down. If you make a mistake on third down, it kills you. We've got to change the field position, and I think you do that by three-and-outs. |
If we can do that the rest of the season, that would be super. |
If you're going to have an injury, [the first day is] the day to get it. Then it gives you time to heal. It's really unfortunate, but that's what happens in this game. Hopefully everything will work out where he's back with us shortly, and we'll just move on. |
On paper, I can whip anybody with the pencil because I knew that system. But I needed those other years to really apply the craft. |
One sack doesn't scare me. The sacks will come. |
That's what's funny, ... My brother and I had to go back, take a step back into college football because nobody would've taken us. We were just Buddy Ryan's sons. They can't coach; just look at Arizona that last year. |
The sound of animals howling for their owners and the sight of drowning pets will haunt me the rest of my life. |
There were two men there who refused to leave. They didn't want to go if they couldn't bring their dogs. I probably wouldn't have left, either, |
