Willie Anderson Win Quotations

Ever since I've been here, we've had slow starts. Before Marvin got here, we'd be winning meaningless games in December.

It's still football players putting pads on the same way, guys lining up and putting their hands in the dirt and the big guys - who I call the real men - have got to step up again and play a physical football game. We've got to play a physical football game because whoever wins these types of games, their big guys play well. Point blank.

Physically I'm doing good. It's going to be a while before I get that game-type conditioning and get my second wind in the game.

Physically I'm doing good, ... It's going to be a while before I get that game-type conditioning and get my second wind in the game.

I've been following it but not enough to comment on it.

I haven't had double-digit wins since my second year in college. It feels good to get 10 wins. We still have to finish it off.

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.

I'm sure Carson would rather be known as a winner than a Pro Bowl guy,

My dream has always been that this organization would be one that year-in and year-out would be in this position, and no more talking about what happened 14 years ago, that that was your last winning season.

Bratkowski has been preaching to us the last couple of years that our will to prepare to win has to be greater than our will to win. That's what the good football teams do. They out-prepare people. We have to get our young guys' football knowledge up. You don't need to run a 4.4 in the 40-yard dash to do it. We've got to play smart football.

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.
