best essence football last playoffs says since super talk team work
I think we're a better football team than we were last year, in every sense, ... This could very well be the best football team we've had since I've been here, which in essence says that we think we are capable, playoff, Super Bowl-caliber team. However, we did not make the playoffs last year. We don't have the right to talk in those terms. We've got a lot of work to do.
injury since surgery viable
He's been told that there's a possibility of surgery since the injury happened. There was always that possibility. I don't know if it's any more viable now than it was before.
looked position since
We've looked at these quarterbacks more than we've looked at any position since I've been here,
gotten since solid supposed
Chad's very solid for us. Since the day he's gotten here, he just does what he's supposed to be doing, when he's supposed to be doing it, how he's supposed to be doing it.
agency collective confident free improve next raise
Our collective mind-set is to improve this team. We'll keep doing this through the draft, free agency and in other ways. It's a disappointment to not get T.O., but I'm confident in our abilities to raise the Ravens to the next level.

I think what this defense did this season was diminished by people taking shots at who we played late in the season,

It had great strength, the point where he could probably play, but, on reexamination, from the long-term perspective, they decided to go with the surgery. I think they went about it the right way.
share trying
I think that's a quarterback trying to take on his share of responsibility,
amazing contact contract minute signed together
I think they signed him at 12:01. It's amazing you can put a contract together in one minute because, of course, there was no contact before then. He's outstanding.
carry entire intensity last match momentum
It is always disappointing to lose, especially the last game. You have to carry that with you the entire season. We did not have the intensity and could not match the momentum swing.
lack next time work
Just a lack of focus, ... We'll work at it, and the next time they won't try to do those things.
lack work
Just a lack of focus. I don't know what to tell you. We'll work at it.

Jeff's done a great job, because he's already faced the biggest challenge a coach can face,
