Tony Dungy Played Quotations

One thing about them, they find a way to win. You just have to give them a lot of credit. They played well. They were missing some guys, but it didn't seem to matter to them.

They are playing the way they played three years ago in terms of just pressuring the passer and playing a lot more man coverage. I think once those young defensive backs get in a flow in things and get a feel for how fast the ball is coming out, they are going to be even better,

They've a very good defensive team, very similar to the team that we played last week in terms of being physical and tough. They don't do nearly as many things to try and create havoc. But they just play sound and tough,

We got down early but we didn't panic on the sideline. We kept our spirits up and we played a lot better in the second, third and early in the fourth quarter. We made some big plays. We got the turnovers. We got the momentum.

We're probably not as sharp as we would have been had we practiced all of last week and played a game, but I think by Sunday we're going to be fine. I think the energy and the quickness and the legs we had will more than offset the little bit of maybe not as good timing.

We've played Jacksonville and St. Louis, who have some wins, but for the most part, we haven't played teams with winning records, ... I look at the schedule ahead and everyone, including me, is saying we've got a lot of work ahead of us.

Actually, I thought the offense, looking at the tape, played better than the defense,

I'm one who thinks the way the game is played now, it's tough to think a (defensive back) is going to have that much impact.
