Tony Dungy Last Quotations

But we can just watch the tape of last year's game down there when we had to go on a drive to secure the game at the end,

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.

Pittsburgh was 15-1 last year, so beating them is huge,

Parents, hug your kids every chance you get. Tell them you love them every chance you get because you don't know when it's going to be the last time.

I think our offense will score points. That's the last thing I'm concerned about. We are doing a lot of things we need to. I think we are going to be fine.

I think our offense will score points. That's the last thing I'm worried about.

With the (defensive) looks we're getting, I would bet we'll end up running the ball more than we did last year. We feel like we can operate whatever the defense allows.

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.

Even last year, when we were 12-4, we didn't get the bye week, and we had to beat Denver in the playoffs before we ever got to New England, ... That was a disadvantage for us, and an advantage for them. This start we've had has allowed us to get a jump toward getting that first-round bye, which is a real goal.

The Super Bowl is a long, long ways away. I don't think they're looking at it that way, and we aren't. We just trying to improve and play better this week than we did last week.

We've really not talked about it. I think that's one of the reasons we've been able to stay loose. We've really not sat here saying for the last eight weeks, 'Wouldn't it be great.' I'm sure if we win this one and get 14, I'm sure it will be talked about a little more.

Bob looked fine. He told me last night that he intends to play, so we'll see. It's a big game, the national spotlight, so I think it will be tough to keep him out of there.

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,

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.

I told our guys in the locker room, Pittsburgh beat these guys (Patriots) last year in the regular season and couldn't do it in the playoffs. Week eight doesn't guarantee anything.

I told our guys that Pittsburgh beat them last year and lost to them in the playoffs. Week 8 doesn't guarantee us anything.
