Mike Shanahan Trying Quotations

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 practice on a high level. He's a guy who practices like he's trying to make the team each and every day.

What I'm trying to do is be as honest as I can, and I don't normally do that.

. . . But we're trying to win Super Bowls, not just playoff games. Obviously, we'd like to win our division, have home-field advantage . . . we're going to keep on working and, hopefully, we can get over the hump.

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 done.

We are playing the best rush defense in the National Football League, so I hope we have that problem. You always want your players to achieve goals, but I don't think that is a game plan going in. We are just trying to play it as it comes on.
