The complaint we received was for blocking the spectators' vision. It's not. We have pictures. I think the NFL allows us to do this. I've had conversations with the league, and we believe it might be the best single thing any team can do when they play in a very oppressive heat situation, for the safety of the players.

The connection to me was that in both games we had very poor performance in the second half. But it was unbelievable where we started those drives in both of those games. Now we have to put a whole game together.

The D-line sets the table for everybody else. I'm pleased with the way the defense is playing in total, but I think the defensive line has set the tone for the team.

The difference this year, I think, is that we have put together a package and he now has the ability to audible to some runs. Not that he couldn't do it before but we spent time as a coaching staff putting that together and I think it has helped.

The doctors are saying now that he can do these things as long as he keeps calm. That's hard on him to do unless he kind of keeps himself at a little bit of distance. He is very much involved and has been in the planning of our defenses.

The encouraging thing to me is the word that I got today ... the headaches are not as intense. They've backed off on some of his medications. That's all encouraging.

The fact that Walt was in camp allowed us to set our line.

The feeling I get is that we are very much the underdog in this game. We were very much the favorite against Denver, so how you deal with your team is quite different.

The feeling of winning the NFC championship ... I'm telling you, there's nothing like it.
|
The good news is with rest -- I believe and our medical people believe -- he will get better.
|
The good thing is that his injury has healed up.

The great pass receiver is going to catch his balls and he's going to gain his yards. You just hope he's not too much of a disruption in the game. And then don't push the panic button when he does catch a pass. You've got to tackle him. Don't let him run all over the place. Team defense is huge when you're playing against a great player.

The great players like Walter Jones, do they need all of training camp? Probably not,
|
The guys battled their hearts out.
|
The important thing is that he feels good and he wants to do the right thing with this. So if it helps him just being back and giving a little advice, more power to it.
