If we go to free agency without a CBA, I would say very few teams are going to be in play and be active. If you do have a CBA, there are going to be a lot of teams out there competing for players. |
If we lose the game, we're not going anywhere. So my mind-set is on one thing, Philadelphia. That's the way I feel about it. |
If you have a chance to win the game, you're going to try to go for the game. |
If you make a lot of yards and you turn the ball over, then you don't score points, ... So that's a tough lesson to learn. Maybe I'm looking at the good side of it Maybe it's good we get the lesson now. Last year, we started out the season and that's exactly what haunted us -- we turned the ball over and right now we're next to last in the league in terms of giveaways and takeaways. |
If you were to draw it up, I would say the best way to win the game is to move the ball ourselves and keep them off the field. |
In order to have a great rivalry, ... you've got to have two teams that are beating each other, and it's been one-sided. So I don't know. I can't speak for the rivalry part of it, but certainly we haven't been doing our part is the best way of putting it. And I think they're a much improved football team over last year from what I've seen on film. I think they've got a new system there on defense, and they're obviously very, very well-coached, and I have great respect there for Coach Parcells. |
In order to have a great rivalry, both teams have to be winning some games. Lately against Dallas, we haven't been able to do that, ... Until we start doing that, it's kind of hard to have a modern-day rivalry. |
In talking to Mark, he gives me the impression that he thinks he can go and we'll work towards that. |
in terms of personnel, or changing the technique, there are a couple of things you can do there. We shouldn't have any blocked, and we've already had two. So it concerns us. |
In the first part of the year when he was healthy, I think that's about as good as I've seen anybody run -- very forceful, very aggressive. I think that's a real problem for us because in the first go-round, I don't think he was healthy. |
In times of biggest change, if you can keep your head and be the smartest, you may get a jump over everybody else. It's a challenge, but it's an opportunity, too. |
Initially, the [trainers] that were here said it still felt tight and everything, so that was good, ... We'll just have to wait and see. It might be we have to wait overnight. |
It doesn't mean we're going to end camp -- it's the end of bed-check, |
It has been a big emphasis for us this week. |
It is fun being in, I'll say that. It's a thrill to be in the playoffs. I really enjoy that part of it. From that standpoint, it makes the day much easier. |
