If you can't get drives going and the defense is out there continuously, someone's going to wear out sooner or later. |
If you really studied the film, you'd feel pretty good about our rush. Obviously, you'd want more sacks. If you studied our guys and how hard they're working, those sacks will come. |
If you say we played cautiously in this game that means you weren't at the game. |
If you take a look at the great teams, especially in the playoffs, you've got to be able to stop the run. The teams that usually win the Super Bowls are able to stop the run and put the offense in a one-dimensional game. |
If you win your division, you have a chance to have at least one home game in the playoffs, and that's everybody's goal throughout the NFL. Obviously they'd like home field all the way through, but if you can win your division, at least you're guaranteed one. |
If you're not improving . . . chances are you're not going to win. |
In my years as a head coach and as a coordinator, I don't know if I've ever been with an offense that put as much pressure on a defense as we did in that game. We didn't get anything going. |
In the heat of battle, some things are going to be said by the coaching staff or from players. What it is is the heat of battle. That's just part of the game, and you have to live with those things. |
Is there one thing that I would say is the difference? No, because if there was, I'd have used it the last couple years. |
It all starts up front. Our front has been outstanding. |
It could be a problem if you're not practicing, but he's been practicing. |
It didn't seem to bother Steve Young when he went from Tampa Bay to San Francisco. The next place Steve goes will be Canton. |
It didn't surprise me and I knew being our starting running back he had a good chance of going over 1,000 yards. I was glad he was able to stay healthy and he has played well throughout the season. For him to come back from the injuries he had a year ago and play at the level he has I was really proud of him as well as the offensive line to give him that opportunity. Mike Anderson is a warrior. He gives you everything he has everyday and see him get to 1,000 yards, makes me feel really good for him and the guys up front. |
It doesn't matter. Every once in a while a game like New England happens. And you're always fearful, because you know how a football team that has a lot of pride responds after not having one of its better games. |
It gives you an idea of how tough he is. |
