I think we're going to be in pretty good shape. |
I think we're going to be ready to go and ready to play our best game. We're as healthy as we've been, we're fresh, we're home and we should play really, really well. |
I think you always try not to divulge everything you're going to do. But I would hate to think I'm in a profession where you just lie. |
I think you saw some good football played. The guys who went on to be Pro Bowl defenders, you can feel like they really were Pro Bowl defenders. I think it separated people who were very good from people who weren't, and I think that's part of what we wanted to see. |
I think your reputation as a coach gets better the better you players are. We've got some great players and that makes me a better coach. For these last two weeks anyway. |
I told Marvin sometimes the job you don't get ends up being a blessing, ... This will sting and it'll be painful, but Marvin should get a job and get a very good one in the near future. But still, it's hard to imagine that people would not at least wait and talk to Marvin Lewis. And it's hard for me to imagine why they wouldn't. And they didn't wait and talk to John Fox, either. |
I told our guys in the locker room, Pittsburgh beat these guys (Patriots) last year in the regular season and couldn't do it in the playoffs. Week eight doesn't guarantee anything. |
I told our guys that Pittsburgh beat them last year and lost to them in the playoffs. Week 8 doesn't guarantee us anything. |
I told them in our locker room, 'A lot of people are going to be disappointed,' |
I wanted to get back as soon as possible, but I also wanted to make sure my wife and kids were OK. |
I was always coming back unless I said I wasn't. |
I was proud of our defense because they held the fort and allowed us to play patiently. |
I would envision us having more than four linebackers dressing this weekend. |
I'd say that he's still doubtful, questionable. But he was better today. He hasn't practiced all week, so I'd say it'd be doubtful. |
I'm full-speed ahead. We're disappointed with how the season ended, we've got some things to fix and some personnel issues, but we're getting started on them. |
