I think we have to wait on that. Let's just wait on that to make sure that what is written and what is said is correct.
He wants to be far enough away that he can't grab a player and start coaching.
It happens, because now you're down to one game, and anything can happen in any one game. But I think if you look over percentages over the last however many years, most of the times the guys that are playing at home have the advantage. So we're choosing to look at it that way.
I would think I should be able to give some sort of answer in a couple, three weeks. I want to be fair, and I don't think there's any need to rush. That's why I think I'm being kind of diligent.
He did exactly what he was supposed to do, and we blocked it well.
I talked with (defensive coordinator) Ray Rhodes and we both agreed that that was as fine a game executed as we could remember, all around. They were better than good. They were really good. Physical, smart, and they made key plays. They just set their mind to it and did it.
I have had it with that stuff. I have a very short fuse with that stuff.
I think it was necessary, and now in retrospect, I'm glad I did it.
His big thing was his equilibrium. He has dizzy spells. We're not going to rush him to anything and we're going to do exactly what the doctors tell us to do. We just have to be real smart with this.
It can look a little chaotic on the sidelines, but if you have done things right ahead of time, you really are not surprised by much, Mike, for the next 60 minutes, we are not responsible for anything we say to each other.
The other guys have to crank it up a notch.
We played in noisy games on the road. I don't anticipate it being like that, but I think we will be the visiting team in that stadium I'm pretty sure, so we're going to work on that the next couple days.
We said, 'Just stand over there and do what you are supposed to do.'.
We're going for the record. We've set a lot of records this year. We're going for that one, too.
