«The quickest way to stop an offense is to get to the quarterback. You can play better in coverage when you can make sure the quarterback is unsettled. We didn't do as good a job in it last time. So that's the task at hand.»

«As a defense, we've got to make them earn what they get a lot harder than what we did the last time.»

«We created a bunch early in the year, but we didn't come up with the ball. Now we're catching the ball.»

«We'll work him out, just because he's a vet who has been in a lot of big games before. We've tried to rest him as much as we can, but we feel good about the guys that have practiced all week long. If we can get him, that's a bonus.»

«I figured he would be trying to make fun of me somehow.»

«[Bell's fourth-and-inches run for a touchdown and his 55-yard touchdown run when the Broncos weren't even trying to score are the killer plays, the plays that make coaches sleep on sofas four nights a week. On the fourth-and-inches Bell touchdown run, the Redskins had Bell trapped for at least a one-yard loss. They clearly had the perfect defense called to stop him.] We knew what the play was, ... We had guys calling out the play at the line.»

«With a year under his belt, he feels more at ease, ... He's not there yet -- he's not a finished product by any means -- but [safeties coach] Steve Jackson's done a tremendous job of bringing him up to speed in a short amount of time. I've never changed my opinion that he's the best kid I've ever coached, athletically, and I take it real personal in making sure that he matures in the right way as a football player. He's got to take some huge steps here in year two, but when you go back over time in this league, that's usually when the great ones really make a big jump. He's primed to do that.»

«Each week is a dogfight, ... It's why the excitement in the league is what it is.»
