both early foul last mouths riding taste
We both want that nasty, foul taste out of our mouths from last Sunday. All but early in the season, there's a lot riding on it right now.
coaching head hopefully indeed jim looking next seen supportive
We're going to be very supportive of Jim's looking and hopefully being able to procure a head coaching job. I think Jim would be outstanding. If indeed that doesn't happen, Jim will be back next year. Some of the speculation I've seen is just that, because Jim and I have already had discussions about some of the things we need to do.
process responsibility talking tired
The process is what I am tired of talking about sometimes, ... At some point, everyone has to take responsibility for their actions.
group men moral prouder victories win
There are no moral victories in the NFL. You win or you lose. We lost, but I've never been prouder to be part of a group of men than these guys.
approach football holds isolate left rest stay team work year
When you're a 2-4 football team, you go back to work and you work your way through. That's what's left of this team right now, ... What the rest of the year holds for us, we'll find out and we'll see what that means. This team will stay together, it will work and it will try to isolate the way that we can get better. That's the only approach I know how to take at this point.
crack losing nut start stopping streak third tough win
When you're 0-2, your whole world has to be about getting that first win and stopping that slide. A two-game losing streak to start the season, it can't get to that third game. That's a tough nut to crack if it does.
brain wow freak
So I hear they call you 'The Freak' Wow, that's quite a coincidence. They call me 'The Brain.'
new-york team mean
I told my team before we walked out on to the field in Tampa, I wanted them to stop and look each other in the eye - I mean really look each other in the eye because 10 minutes after we we're done beating the New York Giants, I knew that world would change; free agency, the business side of the business. I wanted them to appreciate this doesn't come very often. It may be the last time you have that opportunity.
exactly learn players themselves
Because we have a lot of young players that find themselves in situations, if not exactly like Jamal's ... You never learn more than from your own mistakes.
arbitrary careful diverse game group number passion personally players
As a coach, there are a lot of things, personally, I may or may not like or would not personally do - not necessarily may be my style, ... But you have to be very careful about inhibiting the passion for this game in an arbitrary way. I've got a very diverse group of players economically, socially, racially, geographically, with a number of different upbringings.
dwight dynamic game outside player playing presence rush saw top tremendous
I saw a tremendous player in Dwight Freeney playing at the top of his game and as dynamic a presence on the outside rush as there is in the game.
gain lose people player step
Oh, it's huge, it's huge. But you gain some things when you lose a player of that caliber, because other people have to step up.
analysis hard looks next playoff run teams tough year
The hard part with that analysis (is), you don't know what those teams are going to be. What looks to be a tough run of playoff teams could end up the next year not being that.
prudent time
For Todd, it's time to go after it, ... We'll be prudent about it.
