There is no question that Troy is ready to be an offensive coordinator. At some point, Gary is going to get bogged down with the responsibilities that go with being a head coach, and he will turn it over to Troy. |
There was a lot of time left on the clock and the wind was blowing. |
There's not a guy I respect more in this business, and that's before Bill became the head coach at New England. You might have him for a play or two, but he'll make adjustments very quickly and you better go in a different direction. |
They beat the first, second and third seed on the road, so all credit goes to them. |
They controlled the tempo of the game. They just played better and coached better than we did. |
They don't count double, but you've got to win the division games at home, |
They had a great game plan. They played big on the road, very well-coached game, very well-played game. |
They have a lot more speed at the linebacker position. They have a new corner who is a proven player in Sammy Knight. They have a very good rush defense, which is why they have given up only about 3 yards per carry, and if you can keep that up throughout the year, you can beat the best. |
They have confused people over the years and that's why they have the high sack total. They keep you off balance because they are really quick and very talented. |
They just assumed the guy was down. You gotta tackle them. You have to have three or four guys hit him. They just assumed he was down. |
They played better than we did. We didn't perform like we were capable of. It's always disappointing when you don't play well, but it is not the end of the season. We'll see what kind of character we have now. |
They played much better than we did in all phases. |
They're very physical on offence. If you look at the great teams and especially in the playoffs, you've got to be able to stop the run. |
They've allowed 2.9 yards (rushing) per game in the second half of the season. That's unprecedented. You always want to play your best going into the playoffs, and that's what they've been doing. |
They've been that way for about the last five years. They've been very consistent. Take a look at what they've done as a team - wins and losses, defense, offense. They're a complete football team. There's a good reason why they went into Indy and beat Indy and really had a chance to dominate the game. A couple calls here and there and they dominate that football game. |
