Discipline is doing what you really don't want to do so you can do what you really want to do.
-
Every week, as a staff, you put a plan together and put your players in position to make plays.
-
We have rules in the rule book that are very specific. If the quarterback is in a throwing position, he gets protection. But in the event that the ball is handed off, at that instant, there's no telling whether or not he is a runner or not, so he loses that protection.

As we say from time to time, it's hard to win in the National Football League.
-
Austin Pettis can make plays.
-
I was a pretty mediocre player.
-
Eddie George was outstanding early.
-
You can't live in Orange County and train in Thousand Oaks. OK? you just can't. Not with the hours we put in. We have to be on time.
-
You can't put a running back in there and have him not know who to pick up. You can't get your quarterback hit.
-
It's all about giving yourself a chance to win the opener, and then after that, you focus in on Week 2.
-
I'll make changes at receiver before I make a change at the quarterback.
-
I never get into the details regarding my own personal situation.
-
Everybody goes through situations like this. A tipped ball, a shoe-string tackle on a third-down scramble by the quarterback where he has 40 yards to run.
-
A lot of coaches make it harder than it should be. Some are too hard on themselves, obsessing about controlling everything, not trusting their assistants, worrying about time.
-
I'm not a real big text guy. I'm not really into this new age stuff. I don't twit or tweet, but I think face-to-face is a man thing.
-
We have to sell a gameplan, and you have to be enthusiastic, and you have to have energy come Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
-
You're always having those life-skills type discussions about decision-making. It's just making sure you're making good decisions and going about your business. There are distractions in every city.
-
Player safety has been an essential focus for us for a number of years.
-
There's a handful of teams that have a revolving door, that are changing coaches every couple of years, and you can look at the success that they're having. They're not.
-
There's a general feeling if you take the cut block out of the game, then you're going to significantly impact the run game.
-
We have an ascending player in Brian Quick, who, I think, is going to be a very, very solid player for us.
-
To survive in the NFC West, we have to win in the trenches.
-
I couldn't identify just one, but there's numerous rule changes and points of emphasis that have reflected a change on the field almost immediately. It's hard to avoid the horse-collar tackle, for example, but the players understand why the rule is in there - because of the injury rate prior to us making that a personal foul.

Having grown up there, my dad in 1967 took me to the Rams-Eagles game, and I've been a Rams fan since I was a kid.
