warrior play honor
When a warrior goes down, you pick up his shield and go play in honor of him.
running cheating play
I've never had a quarterback run-driven offense. We don't run designed plays where we snap the ball directly to the quarterback and he's just running it. If the defense is cheating and overcompensating for your running back, then the quarterback needs to keep (it) honest.
jobs eye college
When I took the job in Philadelphia, we had a chance to hire a personnel guy and I hired Tom [Gamble], really from my relationship in college. When you're in college, you get to see scouts on a daily basis, and the ones you kind of hit it off with. I thought he had a great eye.
running thinking games
I think that's another misconception, [that] our quarterbacks run all the time. Quarterbacks can help you in the run game, they complement what you do, but it's a running back-driven run game.
mean profile
Profiles mean nothing. You could say, 'I want this,' but then it's not out there.
oregon unfinished-business unfinished
I have some unfinished business to complete at the University of Oregon.
games trophies looks
You don’t get a trophy after halftime. We don’t look at the scoreboard until the end of the game.
eagles mortgage
I'm not going to mortgage the Eagles' future for Marcus Mariota.
thinking play long
I think there's a lot of different things that factor into playing good defense, and you just can't say, "All right, if we just hold on to the ball long enough, we're going to play good defense."
thinking winning games
I think your goal is to win every single game you play. ... I'm not a guy that just puts a number on it and says we're going to do this, or makes a bravado statement like, "We're going to the playoffs and I guarantee it." I'm not a guy that talks about what we're going to do. I'm just, "Let's do it." And what it is is, we need to work extremely hard.
football thinking games
There's a lot [of coaches], and I think in this profession, none of us invented this game, we got it from someone else, and if there's an idea, there's probably never been an original idea in football.
running football school
You have to run the football and stop the run, no matter what level you play at, whether it's high school, college or professional ranks. I'm a firm believer in that.
thinking ceilings
I don't think anybody has a ceiling. Everybody can constantly improve.
running team looks
I look for a quarterback who can run and not a running back who can throw. I want a quarterback who can beat you with his arm. We are not a Tim Tebow type of quarterback team. I am not going to run my quarterback 20 times on power runs.
