Most important, it allows me upstairs, mentally, to be at ease a little bit. |
No, I never thought he'd get hurt and go down and Marc would step up. But you guys [the media] didn't expect Marc to step up and handle the thing like he's handled it. |
Over the last couple of weeks I've been studying and watching a lot of film. I've probably studied 300 to 400 to 500 guys at this point. I'm going to give the world my analysis on what I think is going to happen in the draft. It's challenging. |
Right now, we'll just say it's a bruise, and then we'll get some tests [Monday] and see what it is from there, |
That's the feeling we have to recapture. We have to get out of the gate early this season, and if we do that and have fun together, everything will be OK. I'm not really concerned about the message we send out to the league. It's the message we send to each other. Because it's not about what anybody else does; it's about the Rams. |
The guys understand how critical this is; how critical this game is. |
The more and more I get used to it, the more and more comfortable I feel with it, |
The other guys like Shaun (McDonald), and Kevin (Curtis), and Dane (Looker) are going to have to step up and make some plays, ... And those guys did (against the Giants). I think they came out and did a hell of a job. |

The schemes that they run are very disciplined... very sound, very confident...We know we have to be very focused and very disciplined in all facets of our game if we want to be able to move the football against this bunch. |
They're familiar with our offensive line, and they're familiar with some of the schemes we like to do offensively. That gives them a little edge. They know where our offensive linemen were weak at, they know where they're strong at. So they're going to play that to their advantage when they line up against them on Sunday. |
Things are still bubbly here. It's Week 2. That's (Week 1 game against the 49ers) a game we felt we should have won. |
This time it'll probably be even more intense. I'm sure there will be some lip service out there. |
Thus far, it's been a lot of praise to each other. As the week shortens, I'm sure things will heat up…Once we get out there on the field, I'm sure we'll beef it up a little bit. |
We didn't execute as well as we should have in the red zone. It goes to show that the best team doesn't always win. I think that we were the better team and the stats showed we were the better team. But (the 49ers) made more plays to win the ballgame. |
