We've committed a lot of time and effort to the players we have, ... We're not unhappy with the players we have, but we'll always look. |
We've done it as a team. As a coach you're always shooting for that. When it happens it's just the best feeling in the world. |
We've got people excited. This makes me sure I can coach a little bit. I feel so good for the organization and the fans. |
We've got to let the ribs heal. He's got to feel like he can run and those things. The area that now is rather large causing him discomfort has to shrink, so (doctors) can put the medicine in where they have to put it in. Right now, it's too large. But he's on schedule; he's getting better. |
We've kind of been on his shoulders a good portion of this year. |
We've made so many changes on defense in particular, and there are some new faces, that I kind of knew this was the way it was going to go. Sure enough, here we are. |
We've never had a game like that since, in my opinion. You might lose a game. I didn't think we played hard enough. That's a terrible thing for a coach to have to say. |
We've played two really good football teams, and when you have to go against a Tom Brady or a Marc Bulger and an Isaac Bruce , the game changes and you have to be able to compete against those teams to be able to get to where you want to get to. But I did like the way we battled back in the second half. |
We've struggled playing defense, ... We really have. Not that we haven't tried to draft or sign free agents over the years. We've had problems with injuries. Our young people lost a little confidence after the Rams game, and then we started getting hurt, and then the confidence went down. And that can happen. But I like our guys. |
Well — start seeing him! |
Well, actually I've got a little card that says ... , |
Well, I was so sensitive to the week before, being called conservative, |
Well, we were behind, or whatever I have to say. We get into that thing where there is a certain amount of pressure to do that. Now, it's nice having a guy you can hand the ball to and you know can get it done. That's a good feeling for a play-caller. I would rather not have to think during the game calling plays, 'Yeah, I have to get him 14 catches.' That's bad. That doesn't work very well. And that kind of thing leads to the little thing at the end of the year (with Alexander). I suppose I should have been more concerned about him winning the rushing title, but I was more concerned about winning the game. |
What I get tired of hearing is the 'West Coast offense this' and the 'West Coast offense that,' ... I think that's kind of a lazy term, really. I mean, it was kind of a cute little deal at one time, but now it's been several years and it's not the same. |
What I have to know is where his head's at. The great ones don't come cheap. |
