family puts situation
With my son's situation and our family, it puts it all into perspective.
analyze best guys mike situation
There's not that many guys who have been in this situation. The one guy I know is Mike Shanahan, and I don't think he'll tell me at this point. I think you have to analyze the situation and do what's best for your team.
anybody biggest cards children family gotten letters lost people rare situation variety
Our family has gotten a lot of letters and cards from people who have lost children in a variety of ways. The biggest thing is, it's not as rare as we would think. People have been in that situation and a lot of people have gotten through it. As much as you never want to be in it or want anybody else to be in it, people do make it through.
balls generally guys knew martin plays situation throw
It's just that guys were very focused. We knew where a lot of the balls would go, and once we got into a situation where Martin had to throw and try to make some plays ... that's when you generally get the interceptions.
confident everybody gets offense points score scoring situations wrong
There's been times where we've been 2-1 and scoring a lot of points and everybody says, 'What's wrong with the defense?' ... I think when our offense gets into situations when we have to score and play up-tempo, I'm pretty confident we'll be able to score.
sports player situation
I talk to our players about life and situations and doing the right thing all the time.
ask bad guys happy league less situation
I'm happy with the guys who made it. And I'm a league guy, but this is a bad, bad situation ...the less I say the better. You'll have to ask the league.
developing focused good practice stay talented
I think we have a pretty good team. We're still young, we still do things defensively that need some explanation at times. We play very hard, we practice well, we stay focused and those are all good signs. We have a lot of talented guys, so if you can keep that focus, we should be pretty good. I think we are developing into a good team.
consistent few guys next rushing special weeks whether
I think we have the makings. We have special guys rushing the passer. Whether we can be consistent and do all the other things, that's what the next few weeks will show.
fortunate guys hard helped miss practice trained worked
Our guys worked hard in the off-season program. They trained well, and we were fortunate to have guys who didn't miss practice and games. That helped our continuity.
gives guys keeps work
Our guys were very disappointed, ... They wanted to keep them out of the end zone, but that gives them something to work on so that probably keeps me smiling.
coach deserve guys happen players
Those guys deserve everything they get. You couldn't coach two players that you would want this to happen for more.
coach deserve guys happen helped players seven system work
Those guys deserve everything they get. They have been in the same system for more than seven years now and that part has really helped them. But they work at it and they're very professional all the way around. You couldn't coach two players that you could want this to happen more. They deserve every accolade because they're professionals on and off the field.
early fourth kept panic played spirits third
We got down early but we didn't panic on the sideline. We kept our spirits up and we played a lot better in the second, third and early in the fourth quarter. We made some big plays. We got the turnovers. We got the momentum.
