Larry Coyer Quotations

Maybe I don't feel so good when you put it like that. It's going to be fierce, so you have to stand up and get it done.

Meeting them was impressive. You could tell both guys were bright. They handled the interview process very well. Then the game tape was very impressive. Once you sort through all the b.s., there's all kinds of stuff on every kid, but they were both bright-eyed and very smart.

We put him in a bad deal. We were humiliated. They kicked every man's butt out there ? coaches, players, everybody. He's taken a lot of heat. For him to take the brunt of that wouldn't be fair.

You can trust him to do anything. And this isn't just an old guy that goes out there. He can play. He's physical. He's tough and he knows what we're doing. And the whole team respects him.

We thought we could get more pressure. Obviously, the rookie, but I don't think that was it. I think if we make the plays that were available to us, it's never a factor.

You've got to step it up. It's not the same. What you did during the regular season, it's not good enough. You've got to be better. Those guys will be better. They've studied you, they've looked at what you do. There are very few secrets when you get to this point. You have to be good enough to handle these guys.

You stop Tomlinson, you've got a chance to win. You don't, you can't beat them.

I don't know if people really appreciate what Sam did. He was the fifth DB in what we call 'The Big Nickel.' He actually played corner, so he was really versatile, and that was really a help to us.

I don't know. I'm glad they are. . . . But I really can't answer that.

I think some of that's overblown. They're going to run their offense and we're going to play our defense. Sometimes, early, they might target a guy.
