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.
balanced element football half hands numbers people run shut taken talk watch
People can look at our run-to-pass ratio, ... but I will say this: Watch us in the first half (this season) because we're still a balanced football team. But when we get a lead, that element is taken out of the hands of the quarterback and we will run the ball. So, we just shut it down. It distorts the numbers a little bit, so talk about the numbers in the first half.
backs good running
He's a good running back but we have a lot of good running backs on this team.
answered doubt early hitting north parker pile questions run season willie
I think, if you look at him early in the season to where you see him now, there is no question. The one thing you see, when he makes a decision, he is going north and south; you see him hitting the pile and going forward. I know there were questions as to can Willie Parker run inside. I think he has answered a lot of that doubt through the year.

You don't see us running a lot of different plays with Willie. They're the same plays, they just may unfold differently.

balance recent running seen
He's running as well as I've seen him run in recent years. His balance is phenomenal.
certainly drew fortunate good hold offensive people quality running surrounded talk
It's the same thing Drew will probably talk about: You are only as good as the people you are surrounded by. (Ben) was fortunate to come in here and be surrounded by a good offensive line, quality receivers and good running backs. And he has certainly done his part to hold up his end of the bargain.

The Chicago game was a big game for us establishing ourselves as a running football team. We started to get Ben back at that time, too, when he came back from his (knee and thumb) injuries.
call immaculate possession reveal run second
No, something even more diabolical. I call it 'The Immaculate Deception.' I can't reveal any details, but we'll run it on the first play of our first possession in the second quarter.
ball definitely run successful
It's definitely a concern, something we need to do better in. You have to run the ball to be successful in this league.
