Norv Turner Time Quotations

There is a process that a guy goes through and no question -- it's not even about 14 or 16 games -- it's about being the full-time guy, for an entire game. You learn the first time you do it. He hadn't done that since college.

From a standpoint of doing this job, you focus on the football. You keep working with the coaches, with your players, to see how you can get yourself better. How you cannot have to spend a lot of time talking about it. But part of the job is answering the types of questions you have to answer. That goes with the territory.

We had a number of plays yesterday and the week before in the running game where we're one play, one block away. One time it's maybe the tight end on the back side, one time it's the guard pulling, one time the back doesn't make the cut he's capable of making or he just misses the hole by a little bit.

We knew the hardship of going to New England, playing right after the (roster) cuts, getting less time to prepare than other teams, the travel and all that. The other side is we get more time to prepare for the next game, from a mental and a physical standpoint. We've got to make the most of it.

There's no dynamic involved - I work for Mike. I've been an assistant coach for over half the time that I've been in this league. I know my role.

These situations are the biggest thing. We've missed opportunities where we felt like we could have converted third downs. That's something that we spent a lot of time working on during the bye.

You really don't know. You go into games and I'm not sure you know what to expect. I know when we were getting ready to play (Kansas City) last time everybody thought it would be a shootout, a real high-scoring game. And both defenses played at a real high level.

They've had a long time to prepare for this game. We'll get a look they haven't shown. One of the things that seems to steady anyone down is obviously if you can run the football. If you can run the football, you don't see quite as many looks.
