Regular guys don't have that kind of attitude. Only elite guys have that temperament.
dirty game glory good guys jersey job throwing yards
Our job is to make those guys successful. We know no glory is going to come to us. But if we can get our quarterback throwing for 300 yards and after the game he's not limping and his jersey's not dirty, and Rudi's jersey is dirty and he's running, that's a good game for us.
bones break easy guys hand realize rocks seven start throwing took
Guys have to realize that it took us 15 years to get here. It's not going to be easy for us. They don't start throwing you bones for another five, six, seven years. We've got to come to work, take the shovel, and break up the rocks with the sledgehammer. It's not going to be easy. It's just the hand that we've been dealt.

Guys were infuriated. But I know him. He's not a dirty player. His momentum just kept him going into Carson. It wasn't a dirty play.

across call coaches eyes focus focused guy half inside move number outside snap tells whether
The thing I focus on just before the snap is the inside half of the guy across from me. Coaches call it having 'big eyes.'

Whether he's going to make a move outside or try to bull-rush you.

biggest city excited game level low saying seen trying
I think it got too big for all of us. Everyone was saying that was the biggest game the city had seen in 15 years, and the whole momentum, the whole thing, got too big for us. So right now, we're trying to keep a level head, an even keel, not get too low or too high. Not get too excited too soon.

It's a new feeling for us. I always thought it would be freezing and zero degrees right now. That's how I always pictured the week of a playoff game in Cincinnati.
