I said, 'I'll see you later.' I didn't get to hug him. I knew I'd see him again pretty soon, so it didn't really bother me very much. |
I saw those same things on tape, |
I talked to the players about the difference between disappointment and discouragement. I talked about Philadelphia and Tampa as teams that stayed the course and got things done. But it's hard to stay up there year after year and not win it. |
I think (the Steelers) are playing a little bit sharper and maybe with a little bit more resolve. I think they made a commitment to run the ball when they left here, and they're certainly doing it very well. |
I think a lot of people in Tampa Bay would be happy if I were to get there, |
I think he'll be fine. His gut feeling is he's going to be OK and my sense is he will be, too. I think we're planning on playing him. |
I think he'll do great. He loves the spotlight. He's a great kicker. He was fantastic for us. I had no issues with him. I think he can still kick and still kick well for a couple of years. |
I think he's getting better as a pass-rusher. He had some sacks in the preseason and he carried it over to the game. I thought he was very disruptive. He flew around and he did a good job on the cutback running. |
I think it would be fitting. If they don't break it at home, that would be the place to break it. With so many milestones that were set there by the 49ers, it would be a fitting, ironic touch for them to do it there. |
I think it's a good group of guys. |
I think it's a pretty good marriage, |
I think it's a win-win situation for everybody, for me, my staff and the scouting department, knowing that they'll be working with the same type of scheme, ... But from the first day I was here, I knew I wouldn't coach anywhere else. |
I think it's good for the NFL to have story lines, and I'd certainly rather have them talking about something like that than Terrell Owens, ... This is the first time I've ever been through this situation, so I'm going to enjoy it. |
I think our guys understand the importance of this game. The fact that the last time we played Jacksonville, they beat us. I think that's got our attention. Plus how Jacksonville's played in the preseason and on opening day [a win at home over Seattle], |
I think our offense will score points. That's the last thing I'm concerned about. We are doing a lot of things we need to. I think we are going to be fine. |
