You know where I stand on that. Could I have been any further away from the play?
We made too many mistakes in all phases of the game. We've got to do a better job of coaching and a better job of playing.
We have to advance scout all three of them. There are other people in the organization that are taking care of that. It's not really something that the coaches and the players are all that concerned about.
We gave up big plays, running and passing, and that obviously hurt us,
Understanding what not to do sometimes is just as important as what you can do.
Unlike most other interviews that you have, you usually don't talk that much technical football with an owner.
There are certainly areas that you can improve in and develop more consistency (in).
There are changes every year. It's hard to tell how all of those will pan out. But there's a lot of work to do.

We've always tried to coach and abide by the NFL rules, whatever they are,
We're going to do what we think is best. What we did against Oakland may or may not be what we think is best against Carolina. Last year we played Indianapolis in one type of a defense. We played Pittsburgh in another type of a defense. We played Philadelphia in another type of a defense. We're going to do what we think we need to do to try to match up and stop the opponents. I'm not making any promises to anything or anybody about what we're going to do.

We're just one of 32 teams in the 2005 season, ... We're all trying to accomplish the same thing. We respect what has been done by everybody, whether it be the Packers, the Patriots, whoever. But it really doesn't mean anything right now. We're just trying to get our team ready to play -- this year.
We're looking at another really good football team this week in Denver. They're probably one of the hotter teams in the league right now. They're playing very well in all three phases of the game. They've been a good team to watch just because they're executing so well. They haven't had a turnover in three games.
