Mike may make a couple of mistakes, but somewhere along the line you are going to feel his presence on the field.

He is a very cerebral player. He studies offense and has a good feel for the game. We give him a lot of freedom to kind of line up in a lot of different places.

Let me in on this. Shanahan, I'll put my lower jaw and flying spittle on the line against your beady, darting eyes.

I think there are some limitations that he has. But we move him around a lot, and a lot of it is him moving around himself. He knows where he needs to be when the ball is snapped, and we give him the freedom at times to line up wherever he needs to. But he knows where he needs to be when it's all said and done.

I think their defensive line played a lot harder than our offensive line did. I don't think (Ben) had a whole lot of time in that game, and at times when he did, he wasn't able to connect.

You know what? It was what it was. We all played the same scenario. The bottom line is, we didn't get it done and they did. And I don't think the clock was an issue at all. ... I don't think it had any bearing whatsoever on the game, I truly believe that.

We've worked hard with our look teams about when they break the huddle, getting the ball snapped within eight to 10 seconds. These guys come up to the line of scrimmage and they're gone. It's different. We've worked on it all week. The guys are getting a sense of what the tempo is like.

What Jerome gives you down in the red zone is how we are using him. On a 4th-and-1 you have a guy like Jerome Bettis. It's an easy call to make really. Down around the goal line he has a great skill for that.

Bringing family into it, to me, is a classless thing to do. You've crossed the line totally.

There's a fine line between going in there and being emotional and allowing it to have an adverse effect, which I think happened to us last week. We settled down more in the second half of that game, but we lost our composure at times. I don't want us to lose our emotion, but we can't lose our composure. There's a fine line and at times we kind of crossed that, but we have to play with that same emotion, that same level of desperation or else we are not going to move on.

These guys come to the line of scrimmage and they're gone. It's different. It's an offence that is a rhythm offence. We've got to find a way to disrupt it or else we we'll be in for a long day.

These guys come up to the line of scrimmage and they're gone. They do a great job. It's an offense that is a rhythm offense, it's an upbeat offense, and we've got to find a way to disrupt it or else we could be in for a long day.

That's really a non-issue, ... It was what it was. The bottom line is, we didn't get it done and they did. I don't think it had any bearing whatsoever on the game.
