As soon as I saw it I smiled, because I knew that's what he was responding to. |
Baltimore is very physical. They run the ball very well. they pound it. They've got an improved groups of receivers. Defensively, they do a lot of things. They have very good personnel and they're physical. It's going to be a tough, rough game. |
Bob looked fine. He told me last night that he intends to play, so we'll see. It's a big game, the national spotlight, so I think it will be tough to keep him out of there. |
Brian knows how to get his teams ready to win, and he's going to play to his strengths, |
But anybody who is hurt at all, or at risk, will not play, |
But I will tell you this. One of the guys that wasn't here is going to be back. So that's why we can't make it official or say for sure. We've got a couple things we're going to do medically with the physically unable to perform and the injured reserve lists. We just want to clear it all up and get it all straightened. We'll have a release [today]. |
But we can just watch the tape of last year's game down there when we had to go on a drive to secure the game at the end, |
Chad is a great receiver and he's fun. He makes the game fun. I'm glad Marvin has to coach him and I don't. |
Credit that to Pittsburgh. They did a good job, took some things away from us. We didn't play as sharp as we needed to be. |
Dallas took the test this morning. We're waiting for the results. We'll probably know when we get to the airport. He plans on making the trip. We'll see how the test results shake out. |
Dexter Reid is a guy that we liked coming out of school. We saw him on the waivers, claimed him, didn't really think we were going to get him being 29th in the pecking order. But we got him. So we'll get a chance to look at him this week and get him in here and we'll see if our evaluation was right. But he was a guy we were very interested in last year. |
Dwight is fine. Rocky has a hamstring pull and will not play [against the Ravens], |
Dwight sat out of practice but we think he's going to be fine and ready to play. He's got a little foot soreness, not really a sprain but just a sore foot. But all indications are he should be ready to go. So we just wanted to rest him today. |
Dwight should be good to go. Dallas Clark is about the same. We'll know once he takes the (neurological) test. If he passes the test, he'll be able to play. |
Even last year, when we were 12-4, we didn't get the bye week, and we had to beat Denver in the playoffs before we ever got to New England, ... That was a disadvantage for us, and an advantage for them. This start we've had has allowed us to get a jump toward getting that first-round bye, which is a real goal. |
