Believe me, those 20-some minutes make a difference. It's the difference between you falling asleep in the fourth quarter or being awake for the end of the game.
Everybody knows it takes 49 players to make a team, but without Big John this would not be a championship squad.
When you can take a wide receiver and make him a nickel back, ... when you can take rookies and make them starters, when you can take free agents off the streets and win a world championship, that means the philosophy and the scheme is bigger than the players.
People remember what they were doing the night my leg was broken.
During a routine physical, I asked my doctor about the signs indicating an enlarged prostate. He explained the symptoms, which basically matched what I was experiencing. During my checkup, he found that I did indeed have an enlarged prostate.
You need the hammer, and you need the other guy, too. If you can have that, it gives you versatility on the offense. One of the areas I don't think people really, really consider a lot is converting third downs. You have to be able to convert them.
Back when we played, they were like molded to your head. Football players are a finicky bunch. A running back likes his leg pads to fit just right. Some players like their shoulder pads to fit a certain way. We all have our idiosyncrasies and quirks.
That's ludicrous. When you sign a contract, your job is to play to the best of your ability. What about if an athlete underperforms? Do they give some of the millions back?
This is a game, first and foremost. There was only one Vince Lombardi, and he died.
There are excellent football coaches out there, and excellent assistants that could do a good job. But it's going to take time. With Tice, you have an excellent football coach. I think he should be given a chance to come back and coach that football team.
The Cowboys have to draft a quarterback. What happens if Bledsoe gets hurt?
his accuracy, leadership skills and the way he manages a football game.
Can they co-exist? Absolutely. They've been together for a year, T.O. knows the offense, he's an incredible athlete in fabulous shape, and I think he understands now that the best thing for him is to shut up, play football, help this team get to another Super Bowl and win it.
I like the idea of these guys getting an opportunity. They have a chance to spearhead the next frontal attack of coaches.
