careful games information mentally physically reach row worn
Logging 15 or 16 games in a row will get them physically and mentally worn out. At the end of the year, you have to be more careful because they reach an information overload.
almost exactly felt funny good hold practice protection ran worked
We had the protection and we felt good that the protection was going to hold up. It was funny because we ran it in practice the other day and it worked almost exactly like that.

We felt good about the line going into the season. Then we had some problems.
best good line next pass rush solid teams time weird work
It was weird because usually with teams that have had a pass rush we've always been pretty solid in our protection, ... Our line does a good job. It's unfortunate, but we didn't play our best game. We have some things we can work on. We'll work on those things and we'll be better next time we play.
game good greater identity importance pass per plays running successful throw yards
The running game is always going to be important for us. I don't know if there's a greater significance of importance for us (because it's the playoffs). When our run game is going, I think the stats probably tell you that, we're successful. We do still have to throw the ball. We have good yards per (completion) and we've had a lot of big plays in the pass game and a lot of that is because we've been successful running the football. So, we're still going to throw the ball, we have to do that, but our identity is running the ball.
early field football gear lose nice sudden
Early in the week, you kind of lose your sense of perception. It was nice (Wednesday) to get back on the football field and gear back into what's important. In season, you get into such a routine. All of a sudden that changes.

We've kind of gotten into a little bit of a rhythm the last four weeks, more us. That identity was one that was very good for us last year, and we've been operating pretty good with that the last month.
difficult fans interested respect sincerely super tremendous won
That was not my intent. I was sincerely interested in the job, and I have tremendous respect for Mr. Davis. But when we won the Super Bowl, the way the fans were during the parade, it made it difficult to leave.
certainly expect fast good maybe willie worst
I thought it would be a good play, but certainly you don't expect that. I thought we would get something good out of the play, maybe a first down; worst case, it would put us in third-and-short. Willie popped through there and showed why he's Fast Willie.
