We kept our composure,

You hope a guy can step up in games and do it like he does it in practice,

Anytime you cut somebody in the third round, obviously you feel like you made a mistake … in a true evaluation of your entire organization, anytime you use a third-round choice and he doesn’t make...

We look at all avenues to improve our team,

I think that goes unnoticed quite a bit.

Well, first of all, you don’t think about those things that you just mentioned ? excuses. You either get it done or you don’t.

He kind of held us together a little bit, at least until Lenny came back.

Everybody wants difference makers and everybody wants great players. Sometimes, you get a great player that’s not a team player and then you have a great player on your team and he might not help...

The All-Star Classic is a great event to showcase our league and we are excited that we can bring it to the St. Louis region. We are so fortunate that we have one of the...

He studies the game. He’s got a sense of urgency about him. He’s very sharp. When he practices, he practices full-speed. There are a lot of people who get to Super Bowls, but really don’t...

I’m not really sure. It could be quick. It could be a little bit later. I have a few different directions to go. I’m not really sure right now. I’m going to let a little...

He said that he could have played a game today.

I watch a lot of college film, not only looking at what different colleges do from an offense and defensive standpoint, but also evaluating players, … so we do that quite a bit during the...

[Shanahan said Anderson did not work with the Broncos’ starting offense but ran a few plays with the scout team without much of a problem.] It was encouraging, … Hopefully, there’s no setbacks. Our plan...

It’s coaches, players, different terminology, … It takes a third year before you really feel comfortable, not having to think and react. I could see that in the offseason and hopefully it carries on into...

Playing the way they have on the road the past three weeks is really an accomplishment. They play big on the road.

You hope he can step up in games like he does it in practice, but he hasn’t done it yet.

We’ll get a chance to evaluate him during the week and see if he is ready to go, … If he doesn’t practice a certain amount, you question yourself on how many reps you can...

Coming out of college, he was a zone-running back. That was his style, and we run a system very similar to the one he ran at Wisconsin. I think he fits our system a little...

We have Rod Smith and Ashley Lelie and beyond that there are some question marks for the third, fourth and fifth spots, … The obvious ones are Darius Watts and we all know what he...

We try to get everything done as quickly as possible. We have to be ready for March.

I said all along, you judge your quarterback in his third year.

(The official) made the call, we’ll live with it. But you don’t see a lot of calls like that in high school.

We knew he had those type of abilities. He’s just been hampered by injuries.

Points will come. Yards will come. I think we’ve proven over history that we can move the football. So, maybe some day we’ll get some yards and some points.

The hangover will last a long time. Any time you play in a championship game, you know what an opportunity it is and if you don’t take advantage of it, it hurts.

So, obviously, first comes the AFC West. The goal is to win playoff games, but the division is first, … You can do it other ways, and we have won a Super Bowl as a...

We haven’t made a decision as to what direction we’re going to go with the 53rd spot now that Jerry’s not with us, … We have not finalized another roster spot and I can’t tell...

You know what Mike Anderson is. It doesn’t take a regular-season game to tell you that Mike has been playing pretty good. . . . I’m pleased with the way he’s come back and rebounded...

They just assumed the guy was down. You gotta tackle them. You have to have three or four guys hit him. They just assumed he was down.

We had a good practice. It was a good tempo. It was a little tougher this morning with the snow, but it lightened up a little bit. The weather was pretty good.

In my years as a head coach and as a coordinator, I don’t know if I’ve ever been with an offense that put as much pressure on a defense as we did in that game....

In the heat of battle, some things are going to be said by the coaching staff or from players. What it is is the heat of battle. That’s just part of the game, and you...

Coming out of college he was a zone running back. That was his style and we run a system very similar to the one he ran at Wisconsin. I think he fits our system a...

I think Plummer was frustrated. Obviously when you throw interceptions, you’re frustrated. That’s part of the game and you’ve got to try to overcome those mistakes.

It’s why they are what they are. They’ve got a chance to do something pretty special.

Any time you get a veteran player who has proven he can play in the National Football League, he’s going to have a chance,

We’ve done a good job through the season, but that fourth quarter wasn’t one of our better quarters when it came to run defense.

They’re very physical on offence. If you look at the great teams and especially in the playoffs, you’ve got to be able to stop the run.

Our guys aren’t as big as some. But they do have great speed. We really thrive on speed with our defense. We try to get those types of players and sometimes you substitute that with...

I think it’s a better system. There are more opportunities, and because teams have to come to your city to do the interviews, it can be done without conflicting with what you’re trying to get...

The one thing we have in our division is everybody tries to get better. We’ve got ownership throughout the division where teams are looking to improve. . . . If you’re not improving in our...

The minute he walked into that room, he got a standing ovation. Every player and coach was on his feet. I didn’t expect that, but it was just one of those moments that you cherish....

We really feel like Mike is in great shape. He’s had a great camp. There are no questions in our minds that he’s totally healthy.

We started out a little slow. The way we came back offensively in the second half was impressive.

I think they feel very good about Clinton, and we feel very good about Champ,

It’s really dealing with the pain, … It was quite sore during the game. That will be determined later.

We had some opportunities in the first half offensively and couldn’t get any points in that end zone. When you do that on the road, usually good things don’t happen.

Pittsburgh deserved to win; they played better than we did. To do what they’ve done three weeks in a row against three excellent football teams is really an accomplishment.

He’s more comfortable with the system, more comfortable with what we’re doing. It’s a process. Hopefully he can keep it up.
