We battled back. This team is young in certain places and we do some dumb things on occasion, but they're really a pretty together group. I was proud of them today.
This year, we're under the radar and we're playing well. I think we can stay that way for a while ? as long as we keep winning.
We said, 'Just stand over there and do what you are supposed to do.'.
We talked a lot about being aggressive and getting off to a good start.
To have the story of the Super Bowl be the officials, that was crazy. I was more angry and frustrated by some of the calls that I was devastated.
Where I am impressed even more with him this year is his pass protection,
We're going for the record. We've set a lot of records this year. We're going for that one, too.
We've got to let the ribs heal. He's got to feel like he can run and those things. The area that now is rather large causing him discomfort has to shrink, so (doctors) can put the medicine in where they have to put it in. Right now, it's too large. But he's on schedule; he's getting better.
Wow, great story. That's an area we have to look at, but he certainly has done everything we have asked him to do.
To find a quarterback to take you to the Super Bowl in our offense is very, very important. We were able to do that in Year 3.
What we're asking him to do is difficult, ... A rookie middle linebacker calling the signals, there's nothing easy about that. His plate is full. But if anyone can handle it, of the young people I've seen in the last few years, he can.
We are going to have to figure out how we're going to deal with a real strong receiver like that.
With the numbers he has put up, I think if you don't approach it at the start that way, you're making a huge mistake. He catches 14 balls, 12 balls, 13 balls, that's a lot of passes in a game. Clearly, they want him to be a big part of what they do. ... You better have some sort of answer for playing them or they can make you look pretty bad.
There are times when I become frustrated when we get second (down) and nine, ... (But) I was bound and determined today to stay with it.
