games win
We need to be able to win games like this, ... If you're going to win a championship, you have to win games that go any kind of way.
ball game great special tough
We've got a tough group. You have to do something special to get a game ball from them, but (Smith) did a great job.
against beat coming cut deal everybody game hopefully houston landmark playing point practice recognize second short team tough week win work
You don't win championships in September, obviously. You don't win them in Week 8. You don't win them with one game. This is going to be a tough deal for us to come back. Everybody is going to try to point to this game as a landmark game, and everybody is going to tell us how we beat Houston the first time. Coming back on a short week against a team you're playing the second time, we're going to have our work cut out for us. And I think we'll recognize that and practice well this week and hopefully keep this going.
certainly faster football game job lose sure
To lose a game - I'm sure I'll get over this a lot faster than I'll get over my son. It's our job and it's football and it's disappointing and you want to play well, but it's certainly not the end of the world.
team thinking games
I do not think being a coordinator is a requirement, but it does give you some advantages. You get used to working with half the team and you go through the game-planning and decision-making processes.
games careers balls
The game has changed since the '70s as more coaches have looked at ways to make it tougher on defenses. But I'm glad my career turned out the way it did - I would have never gotten a chance to learn the defensive side of the ball.
team practice games
I learned from Chuck Noll in Pittsburgh that speed and explosiveness on defense is the way to build a team. Both are difficult for your opponent to assimilate in practice and then in games it is even harder to match.
team games together
We talked about some of our experiences, focusing, hanging together down the stretch, important games. It's not necessarily who has the most talent but what team sticks together and executes their fundamentals the best.
games cost knows
And one game, as we know, can cost you a lot.
football winning games
When it's over, it's over is part of football's greatest appeal to me. When a game ends, win or lose, it's time to prepare for the next one.
field game good inside position several
Field position was very important in that game and punting them back up inside the 10 several times was critical. It was good to see that rewarded.
difficult felt game gets guy helmets monitor offence team unlike
They felt they can only give you one helmet, because unlike offence with the quarterback, it's difficult to monitor which helmets are in the game (defensively). Or if the guy gets hurt, a team would be without it and at a disadvantage.
