“I don’t think there’s anybody in this organization not focused on the 49ers…I mean Chargers.”

There are no shortcuts to building a team each season. You build the foundation brick by brick.

We’re not polishing fine china here.

You can play hard. You can play aggressive. You can give 120% but if one guy is out of position then someone is running through the line of scrimmage and he is going to gain a bunch of yards.

So many different things happen in a split second during the course of the play, just like it is for a quarterback. The more of those things that you can do right, slow down, get the most important things, not get distracted by all the stuff that’s happening, but just really zero in on a target.

My overall knowledge of football specifications, the overall process that happens on game day with the footballs is very limited.

The only thing I can cheer for in Philadelphia is the national anthem.

We have absolutely done as much work as we can on finding out things like that and we’ll try to get all the information that we can as that would apply to any current situation, which I can’t talk about.

I’m sure that any current or past player of mine would tell you that the balls we practice with are as bad as they can be: wet, sticky, cold, slippery.

We do the same thing with all our players. We take a look, as I said, at their personal family life, we look at the history of what they’ve done in high school and college.

If you sit back & spend too much time feeling good about what you did in the past, you’re going to come up short next time

I’ll refrain from making any more comments on any ongoing people involved in the judicial process.

However bad we can make them, I make them. Any time that players complain about the quality of the footballs, I make them worse and that stops the complaining.

All sources are not equal. When you get information, you take the information, you evaluate it, and you do the best you can with it. So, there’s a variance in the quality and the amount of the information. It’s a case-by-case basis. Each one’s different. There’s no set formulas.

I told you the one change we would make in the initial start level of the football pressure, but that’s really about it.

I cannot comment on any player who has ongoing criminal charges and legal situations.

I think it’s relatively easy to play defense against a team that can only do one thing. Unfortunately, that’s not what we’re talking about here with Seattle.

I don’t get all this Speedo stuff actually, I mean, whatever happened to the feather boa?

Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love. If other people try to write your story, it means they don’t respect you. They consider that you’re not a good artist who can write your own story, even though you were born to write your own story.

It’s very much a piece of myself when I write a song. I don’t mean to say it’s very personal, like the lyrics mean something personal to me. When I write a song, that’s my taste in music – my taste in chord progressions and melodies.

They’ve asked me to do this temporarily. I don’t know what temporarily means. Life is temporary.

I got an idea: people like news why don’t we write the news down on a piece of paper, and we’ll gas them up and drive them to everyone’s house.

Success means using your knowledge and experience to satisfy yourself. Significance means using your knowledge and experience to change the lives of others.

To be a spiritual warrior means to develop a special kind of courage, one that is innately intelligent, gentle, and fearless.

Earnestness means willingness to live with energy, though energy bring pain.
