I spent plenty of time in the NFL. I don't care about any of those (NFL) opportunities. They don't fit me right now.
Is it like the Wizard of Oz? A guy behind the curtain with a megaphone or something?
Is it human nature that we're going to be complacent? I don't see that in any way, ... As a staff, we've worked harder and longer and recruited more than ever before. Probably the opposite of what you think has happened we're more driven then ever.
It would be awesome to go a couple more games and have a chance to be in a position like that. I know their fans and their followers have just got to be loving it.
It was a championship night in all ways. These two teams battled until the finish.
The thing I like is that I'm in charge of everything, so I can structure things the way I like. I get to wear all the hats. There are a few guys in the NFL who have that opportunity, but not many. You basically have to win a Super Bowl.
Right now we're rolling guys through (the secondary) and counting on Terrell Thomas to come back at full speed, but the other guys are battling. We have to see who's going to be most productive.
(Sanchez) had a very solid day today. We really mixed it around and played a lot of stuff off of the running game, and we tried to balance it out more than we have in the past to make it more realistic, and he handled it very well. It's a very positive sign.
Competition Tuesday tends to bring that kind of spirit out. That's how we practice. The competition really heated up. ... It was a good, hard Tuesday. This is a big day for us. We needed to knock it around a lot today and tomorrow to get ready to go.
Dr. Watkins made the point that he had to do it once he got in and saw what was going on. It would've been a mistake to try to just tough it out and wait through it.
The whole world is watching us. You never feel you can say enough about this stuff.
These are two historic offenses. You just don't see numbers like this except in video games.
These are two historic offenses. There are so many explosive players on both teams.
I've never understood how two-thirds of the thing can vote for you one way and one third can knock you into fourth place. It looks like it should be third, third, third, but that's my simple math.
