Tony Dungy Good Quotations

Mike is a really good guy, a unique guy, and I just wish the best for him.

Guys that hit with the top of their pads and used their legs, that's who the good hitters are,

He's got some aptitude there. I think (Doss' suspension) might be a blessing in disguise, because it looks like it's going to be a pretty good position for him.

We talked about that a little bit in the locker room tonight. We're a good team and we're good when we play our game,

We're probably not as sharp as we would have been had we practiced all of last week and played a game, but I think by Sunday we're going to be fine. I think the energy and the quickness and the legs we had will more than offset the little bit of maybe not as good timing.

Our offense is disappointed, though. They never like to get shut down like this. But it's great when you win a game and your offense doesn't play it's best or when the defense doesn't play it's best. It's the sign of a good team.

I think that is probably how he'll be judged in the short run. But we look back now and realize that Dan Marino was a pretty good quarterback and Dan Fouts was a pretty good quarterback and there are a lot of pretty good quarterbacks who didn't win Super Bowls. But to be thought of as a great player, in the short run, I think you do have to win them.

Robert has been as consistent as anyone in this league rushing the passer, ... Cato is blossoming into a really, really good pass coverage linebacker and that's what we thought he could. I think it's really a reflection of how well they're playing right now.

I think we have some urgency with the fact that our team realizes that we are a good team, and we've got a chance that not every team has. We've got a chance to make the playoffs and a chance to do some damage when we get there.

I think we have a pretty good team. We're still young, we still do things defensively that need some explanation at times. We play very hard, we practice well, we stay focused and those are all good signs. We have a lot of talented guys, so if you can keep that focus, we should be pretty good. I think we are developing into a good team.

I think it's a good group of guys.

We still haven't really hit our stride and been on the details the way we need to be. If we continue to improve, we'll be in good shape.

The Patriots have been a very, very good team. The last four years they have been the dominant team in the league, and a lot of people are chasing them, including us.

When we do what we're supposed to do and execute the play, we've been pretty good on third-and-1 or 2.

Dwight should be good to go. Dallas Clark is about the same. We'll know once he takes the (neurological) test. If he passes the test, he'll be able to play.

We went to New England and beat the AFC East leaders, we beat Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Knowing we can beat the good teams and defending our turf is a good feeling.

Field position was very important in that game and punting them back up inside the 10 several times was critical. It was good to see that rewarded.

Baltimore is very physical. They run the ball very well. they pound it. They've got an improved groups of receivers. Defensively, they do a lot of things. They have very good personnel and they're physical. It's going to be a tough, rough game.

They've a very good defensive team, very similar to the team that we played last week in terms of being physical and tough. They don't do nearly as many things to try and create havoc. But they just play sound and tough,

It's hard to double three guys. You know you're going to get at least one of those guys in single coverage. Some teams have two good corners. Very few have three. So where's the favorable matchup?

I guess that's good in a lot of ways. But the defending champions are always the team to beat. And that's who everybody is focused on.

Hopefully, it comes Sunday and it's not something that ends up taking a few weeks. It says you've been around a lot of good players, and that's one of the things I'm most proud of. One of the things I pride myself on is being consistent and getting my teams to play as well as they can as often as they can, and I think we've done that.

He's a physical guy, who is a good special teams player. He's a good guy and a good athlete and we'll get a chance to see what he can do, for a few days at least.

The two times I've been 5-0 we've ended up losing big games, ... We really need to get this one and it will be a good feeling if we can get to six.

They got cut(-blocked) at first, but once they got adapted to that and got a feel for how Atlanta was blocking, they showed up and hustled around and did some good things.

You have to learn offensive blocking schemes and especially when rushing the passer you get blocked differently, ... Larry had to call some (assignments) for us on Sunday with Corey not as familiar with what we're doing. Montae has always done that the last two years. Larry did a good job of getting us into some of the right things.

It will be a milestone for me, personally. It means I've been in good organizations, been around good players and we've been pretty consistent.

They're just really focused in. We're good enough, talent-wise, that when we're not making mistakes, we're tough to defend.
