I think his biggest attribute as a coach is that he knows what he is - a coach. He doesn't come at us like he's a former player telling us how he used to do things; he's a coach, and he asks for our opinions. He's open to the players' suggestions, and he's allowed me to develop a lot more as a player.

I don't think Coach (Tyrone) Willingham knows what a hint is.

Sometimes I think he knows the offense better than coach [Norm] Chow,

I think everybody knows what to expect from Coach Coughlin, ... The five minutes early, that's just part of it. Now you know how it is. No one talks about it any more . . . . That's just the way it is. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. Everybody knows we've got to get better. We need some discipline to be a better team than we were last year.

We think [Fox] is a great coach. He prepares you extremely well, and he knows how to win. Everyone in this locker room trusts him.

Competitiveness is the one area I stress to the team every day and that's our biggest attribute. Everyone on the team is held accountable by their teammates to go out there and get the job done.
