The Raiders deserve to be world champions. They dominated us. |
The trouble is today everything is evaluated on whether you won a Super Bowl or not. Believe me, that's not the No. 1 criteria. It's the easiest for those that don't know what they're doing to evaluate. |
Their running game can be tough to stop. So far they haven't been humming like it normally is, and you just have to keep them in that mode. They're very patient and persistent and keep doing it. |
Then, I think the blow to the head in San Diego stimulated more concern. It wasn't a true concussion, but he did get knocked dizzy. |
There are a lot of votes in this building. There are a lot of opinions. |
There are organized plots and plans to get you one way or the other. But every once in a while someone gets trapped. We always assume our players are not guilty of any major problem until someone really clarifies it for us. |
There's nothing like having talent. ... Our draft was good. Free agency was good. The maturity of the kids who were already here is starting to grow. And it blended together. I could just see from watching them practice ... it was going to be a much better defense. Did I anticipate shutting out the Jets? No, but I thought we would slow them down pretty good. |
There's nothing like having talent. I've been on the field a long time, and we've never had better football players sitting in this room, collectively. We have some talented players on defense who can run and make plays. Our draft and free agency were good, and then the maturity of the kids that were already here blended together. I could just see from watching practice against our offense, it was going to be a much better defense. |

They beat us in about every way they could beat us. |
They couldn't have picked a better team to send down there and play well ? that's the way we're approaching it. We'll go down there and play our best football game of the year. The guys are in a good frame of mind. They accept it. We would have liked it to be a different way, but we have no choice. |
They hit (Green) too many times, and that's a credit to the guys on the other side of the field wearing that lightning bolt on their helmet. |
They hit him too many times, ... and that's a credit to those guys over on the other side of the line of scrimmage wearing that lightning bolt on their helmet. We just have to get better. |
They just get him in a one-on-one situation and he wins that battle. |
They put together a great game plan, and they executed. They knew what they had to do, and they tore us apart. |
