We had two false starts, two penalties on the offensive line and four sacks. That's enough to stop some drives right there. We just got physically beat up.
I think we proved we can take a punch and still win in the end. You take 'em any way you can.
We had a little problem there. We did, ... We need to improve our underneath coverage with our inside linebackers. That's one thing we need to do. We've got a lot of inexperience in there now. We've got a little problem here and there. We'll try to get it fixed.
I think he was kind of worn down, and he just looked like he didn't have a lot of gas on Sunday, ... I talked to him about that after the game. I said, 'Hey, we've got to get gas back in your tank.' I might have to rest him a little bit during the week in practice.
I think he kind of tweaked it a little bit. He's just not getting around. I'm getting a little worried about him to tell you the truth.
I was kind of thinking back to Seattle last year, ... We kind of talked about that. We're just fortunate, really.
Kick would be a term of endearment, really. It wouldn't be kick with the idea of hurting them, just kind of move them along a little faster. ... Some are happy to be here, you know?
The players' minds are off that game, ... They are working on San Francisco. They have been working on it since 8 o'clock this morning. They are not thinking about Washington.
We're not really in the business of passing on information,
We ought to be in pretty good shape to get ready for San Diego, ... We got out of the game healthy which is big... got to play some of these young guys tonight.
I just coach the way I was coached when I was young, in my formative years. I grew up under demanding people, that demanded things from you, expected you to toe the mark.
You as an individual coach have a responsibility to try to give those players who put themselves at risk and in harm's way a chance to achieve success, and that goes for universities and professional teams, as well.
God's been good to me, He really has. I don't know why he picked me out... Just think about it: I virtually coached in my hometown. From the middle of the Meadowlands field, it can't be but a couple of miles. I was lucky to do that.
If you've ever won a championship, then that's all you're interested in doing.
