bowl super win
We're going to the Super Bowl to win it, not to just be there.
definitive players
We're going to have a lot of flexibility with some of the things we're doing, and the players have been very receptive. It's more definitive than things we've done in the past. The onus is being put back on the players to execute, and I think they like that.
effect extra football game involved playing speed weather
The extra day won't have any effect on it. We're going to have to weather the flurry that will be involved with the emotions, the speed of the game and playing a high-quality football team.
bearing bottom line whatsoever
That's really a non-issue, ... It was what it was. The bottom line is, we didn't get it done and they did. I don't think it had any bearing whatsoever on the game.
disrupt great guys line offense rhythm upbeat
These guys come up to the line of scrimmage and they're gone. They do a great job. It's an offense that is a rhythm offense, it's an upbeat offense, and we've got to find a way to disrupt it or else we could be in for a long day.

These guys come up to the line of scrimmage and they're gone. It's an offense that is a rhythm offense and we've got to find a way to disrupt it.
defensive harder line offensive played time
I think their defensive line played a lot harder than our offensive line did. I don't think (Ben) had a whole lot of time in that game, and at times when he did, he wasn't able to connect.
bringing crossed family line
Bringing family into it, to me, is a classless thing to do. You've crossed the line totally.
along couple line mike presence somewhere
Mike may make a couple of mistakes, but somewhere along the line you are going to feel his presence on the field.
along couple football line might mike presence somewhere
Mike Logan is a football player. Mike might make a couple mistakes, but somewhere along the line you're going to feel his presence on the field. He has a way of making plays.
cerebral freedom good line offense studies
He is a very cerebral player. He studies offense and has a good feel for the game. We give him a lot of freedom to kind of line up in a lot of different places.
adverse allowing composure crossed emotional fine half happened last level line lose lost move second settled
There's a fine line between going in there and being emotional and allowing it to have an adverse effect, which I think happened to us last week. We settled down more in the second half of that game, but we lost our composure at times. I don't want us to lose our emotion, but we can't lose our composure. There's a fine line and at times we kind of crossed that, but we have to play with that same emotion, that same level of desperation or else we are not going to move on.
certain game lines others physical respect unto within
A lot of it comes down to, in my mind, respect for the game and respect for the players. Do unto others as you want others to do unto you. It's a physical game that we play. It's a very competitive game that we play, but within that, there are certain lines that you don't go over.
ball freedom knows line move moving needs wherever
I think there are some limitations that he has. But we move him around a lot, and a lot of it is him moving around himself. He knows where he needs to be when the ball is snapped, and we give him the freedom at times to line up wherever he needs to. But he knows where he needs to be when it's all said and done.
