Our teams always play hard.

Austin Pettis can make plays.

Pay respect to your opponent.

I was a pretty mediocre player.

Eddie George was outstanding early.

You only have so much time in a day.

Chris Johnson was outstanding early.

My kids are athletic, but they don't run.

Your receivers have to catch it, not drop it.

Some of the decisions that you make are not permanent.

You need continuity. You need a commitment and continuity.

To survive in the NFC West, we have to win in the trenches.

I never get into the details regarding my own personal situation.

When you have trust, it gives you a better chance to be successful.

Player safety has been an essential focus for us for a number of years.

It's unfortunate that sometimes the personal things affect the business.

I'll make changes at receiver before I make a change at the quarterback.

As we say from time to time, it's hard to win in the National Football League.

I learned the most important thing is to put yourself in the shoes of the players.

Discipline is doing what you don't wanna do so you can do what you really want to do.

The nickel spot, inside. It's the hardest position to play. It's harder than outside.

I'm a head coach. I'm not a politician, an activist, or an expert on societal issues.

Those that coach 10 years that take a year off are three times better coaches... in year 11.

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.

It's all about giving yourself a chance to win the opener, and then after that, you focus in on Week 2.

We have an ascending player in Brian Quick, who, I think, is going to be a very, very solid player for us.

There was something missing. But in my world, there is never time to figure out what is, in fact, missing.

It's my personal opinion, and I firmly believe, that it's important that I keep sports and politics separate.

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.

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.

We're gonna play fast, we're gonna play physical, we're gonna play furious, and we're gonna play contact football.

Michael Sam will help us, and we'll give him every chance to succeed, and you know what? It's gonna be pretty cool.

The players are out here to help win games and to improve, not to make a movie. They're not actors. They're players.

I guess it's sad that anybody, regardless of profession, that they're in this country, would take a shot at our military.

We have to sell a gameplan, and you have to be enthusiastic, and you have to have energy come Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

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.

Since 2000, it's been a privilege and honor for me to be on the competition committee. And our main focus... is player safety.

I've always liked to run. I did it from a conditioning standpoint, you know. I really enjoyed running, and I do it to stay in shape.

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.

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.

One of the more difficult things is the time. Either you are going 100 miles an hour, or you are sleeping. There is nothing in between.

From our perspective, the most important thing is what you do with the players, how you handle them, your ability to communicate with them.

The quarterback gets plenty of protection in the pocket, and he picks up protection out of the pocket; he's got protection down the field on his slides.

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.

I think everyone at some point in their career would like the opportunity to go back to their alma mater, but from a timing standpoint, it's just never worked.

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.

We push players beyond their limits and expectations every day. We ask them to take risks. Sometimes, as coaches, we have to remember to do that with our decisions, too.

I'm just really appreciative of the loyal fans in St. Louis who just lost their team. It's not an easy situation to go through. On the other hand, we have to move forward.

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.
