I've been to this complex, I've been to the dome, I've been on the bus to go to the airport, I've been to the airport and to the visiting hotel. Believe me, nobody mistakes me for Tom Cruise. |
If Marc can get healthy, Marc's got the job. This is Marc's job. |
In the National Football League, there are a lot of teams that the safeties are the leading tacklers on their football team and that is why we call them safeties. They have got to be good tacklers and at times, we can tackle and do tackle. Other times, it is just bad. That is just like someone trying to be a journalist and you have to teach them how to write. They are supposed to know how to write. If you are a defensive football player you are supposed to know how to tackle and if you can't, you are in the wrong profession. |
It is what it is. We're moving on. |
It was clean. Mark's trying to make a play. Mark's trying to make a tackle. |
It was our playoff game. We played hard-nosed physical football in front of a nationally televised audience against a good team, and I think it's a glimpse of what we could be. |
Let me tell you something, that's a guy right there that we have to take care of. I think they've got to give him more touches. He's a great screen runner. He's been on all our minds all week long. |
Looking back at this game, I think I have to point the figure at myself. I hurt our team today, I really did. |
Man, that was hard, that was tough. |
Marc is a warrior ... but it's still swollen up. |
Mike came in this morning like he did (Wednesday). He scripted the practice, he set the format for practice, the schedule times. He reviewed Wednesday's (practice) film, met with the offense, and went over the corrections of Wednesday's film. |
My main arteries are great. The doctor says I look great, so here I am. |
Our coaches up in the press box said they thought it was a fumble. But those things happen. That would have been a big play for us. |
Our goal was to be 4-4 at the bye, so that was our first attainable goal that we set out to accomplish. The emotion that the guys played with, and the passion and the character, is just unbelievable. ..I?m glad this one is behind us. We have a bye to get healthy on it?s on to Seattle. |
People have been attacking us (on the ground) with that package all year long. It started in San Francisco. My only explanation is they probably want to try to keep Coakley and Claiborne off the field. |
