Coaching is always about changing. That's the life of a football player and a coach.
Coaches? They can talk. I tell them: 'Just make sure before you open your mouth you've researched what you're about to say. Don't just say stuff. And if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything.'
Fans have their own idea about who to hire; that's what makes football great.
I was a bit of a rebel when I was young.
When you put pressure on the quarterback, everything looks a lot better.
One thing you know about playoff competition is this: If you have a hot quarterback and your defense can take the ball away, you don't need to have a dominant defense anymore.
When you're an athlete, the one thing you're concerned about is injury, because that's the No. 1 thing that can take you out.
Was I hurt sometimes? Yeah. But not to the point where I couldn't play. I think we all go through it. Some guys escape it. Some guys don't. There's no secret formula.
I like challenges.
Nobody on this earth can intimidate me.
I won't change my character for anybody.
If all you ever play with a cornerback in there is man to man, it is a disadvantage.
Remember, a receiver can motion wherever, run wherever he wants to on the field, you can't get your hands on the guy and there is a lot of room. When you are a corner, you are playing to the boundary, which is your friend.
When you have kids, you never think of burying your own child.
The world of football has changed. 'We're going to start a freshman quarterback!' 'Oooh really?!' That was taboo. It's not a shock anymore.
'Jim Thorpe - All American' influenced me as a young kid.
The best thing you do as a coach is develop an environment where these guys can have some success. Vince Lombardi was that way. He cared about these guys not only as football players but also as men.
This is the world you live in when you're a football player, an athlete. You want someone to discipline you. You want to have consistency. You want a guy that puts you in position so that you can have success.
I believe in giving people an opportunity to do their jobs.
You gotta use a player's strength.
