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.
throw
You can take away the run, if you want to, but then if you do that, Peyton will throw for 300 or 400 yards.
ability certainly excellent football hands obviously quality receiver throw unique
He's a quality receiver and he can do a lot of things for you - certainly with what he can do for you after the catch. He's got excellent hands and obviously his ability to throw the football is something that is very unique to that position.
coaches criticisms crossed feels felt game locker losing outside players quality start taking throw understand worse
No one feels worse about losing a game like that than the players and coaches in that locker room. They throw everything into it. No one felt worse than Tommy. I mean, this is a quality individual. We all understand the criticisms that come with this game and we understand that, but when you start taking it outside the field, to the house, to the kids, to me, you've crossed the line.
liked people seeing thrown
My record? Well, it is what it is. People can say what they like about me, and that's fine. What I've never liked is seeing other people getting thrown in there with me.

adjustment approach bit both face game goes planning second sides sure time
The first time you face someone, you are not sure how they are going to approach you on both sides of the ball. I think the second time through, you have a better sense of what they are about. So there is a little bit of adjustment that goes into the game planning on both sides of the ball.
prepared ride
I'm prepared to latch on to his coattails and ride him for a long time.
defined journey mean people telling
There's a lot of people telling you that you can't do it but, you know what, that doesn't mean you don't go try. Don't let your journey be defined by history, let your journey make history.
exceeded field gained gives guy guys stands yard
For every yard that he's gained on the field, this guy, in my mind, has exceeded that off the field ? the kind of guy he is, the way he gives back and what he stands for. I've never been around too many guys like that.
anymore effort good great heck hopefully individual super trying
He's a heck of an athlete. He really is a very good athlete. He was just trying to make a play, and he made a play. It was a great individual effort on his part. It was a great tackle. It was a super play on his part. Hopefully he won't have to do anymore of that.
feed plan
I don't know how they plan to feed us -- in shifts, maybe.
