due guys kept respect send thrived
It was 'Just tell us where we're going next, just send us off to another team. I think the guys thrived on that. With all due respect to Heinz Field, we just kept going off (on the road).
allow good max playing
Kendall is getting better and better. Him working with Max ( Starks , right tackle) is only going to allow them to get more comfortable. They're getting some very good playing time, but I feel very good about that right side.

The longer you're in this business, sometimes you get defined by what you haven't done, instead of what you have done.

Holding them to a field goal was huge in the beginning of the game.
discovered great instead saying screwed submarine time west
I kind of thought it up. I think it's a great analogy. I got screwed up in some of the details. I know that he discovered the West Indies, it wasn't America. I said periscope one time instead of saying telescope; they thought it was a submarine the other day.

Charlie Batch is the starter by default until I see more. ... We'll see how the week progresses.
aware case composure hitting job leader nice pocket stepping trying waiting
He's been there. It's not a case of having to do too much and trying to put too much on your shoulders. He did a nice job of stepping out of the pocket and hitting check-downs. That's the thing that I liked, his composure and his poise. You could just see he was aware of what was going on around him, waiting things out. He's just being the leader that he is.

I just saw him briefly after the game. It was kind of a whirlwind. I'm sure we'll talk in the next couple of days. I've never been one to stop anybody from having an opportunity to live out a dream ... If he wants any advice from me, I'd give it to him, but certainly the decision would be his.
envy logistics opportunity overlook people share
It's an opportunity that you want to share with a lot of people and the logistics of doing that can be overwhelming at times with all of the requests. At the same time, you can't overlook what we're going there to do. Obviously, it can be very overwhelming to do in just one week's time. People have done it, I don't envy that.
time waiting
I've been waiting a long time to do this. This is yours, man.

Good football teams have quality depth. When players are asked to step up, there's not a drop off. Ideally, you go through the whole season and don't lose anybody. But those are rare occasions.
defending hard short
It's hard enough defending this quarterback (Tom Brady) on a long field, ... When you have to defend him on a short field, it makes it even more difficult.
