Obviously the Dolphins are 0-4 and not happy about that. They haven't been able to put together any drives offensively. If they can get something together offensively, with the great defense they play, they've got a chance to win some games this year, and they've got a chance against New England. |
One thing I never want to be accused of is not working. |
Peyton Manning is doing things that I think no other quarterback in the history of the league has done at the line of scrimmage, ... I just think they are a team right now that's got a real chance to run the table. |
Success is not forever and failure isn't fatal. |
Sure, luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck. |

That's what turned out to be the most effective thing against Dan after defensive coaches finally settled in as the best way to defend him. Knowing that you weren't going to get him and he was going to get the ball off, I would have gone to a three-man rush and used all different types of coverage schemes with eight defenders with either a man underneath-type [of scheme] with a zone behind it or mixing it up. |
The '85 Bears were a great football team and aside from that one game, they played exceptionally well all year, ... Denver at 13-0 was tremendously strong in all areas, too. |
The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others. |
Then somewhere along the line — and it couldn't have been until late in the season — we realized we had a chance to do something no one else had done: To win all the games. That became important, but if we had to lose, we wanted to make sure that it wasn't in the Super Bowl. If we ended 16-1, the season would have been a failure. |
They both had to sacrifice, but they finally understood what I was trying to do. |
This is a big one. |
We didn't have any champagne to toast each other. But we did have some Diet Cokes up there. We lifted the Diet Cokes. |
We didn't win a Super Bowl together, ... and that's something I'll always regret, not knowing what that feels like. ... |
We had him rated right behind (John) Elway and ahead of (Jim) Kelly, ... But we never dreamed we'd have a shot at Dan. |
