Ware and Spears on the Ticket

What's this about his "talk" to the team?

Apparently Bill saying stuff like, "I need to get back to the coach I used to be, the coach who could inspire guys, the guy who can be passionate about the game, etc."

Ware says that he said that Saturday at the hotel, and that the "speech," was to be honest with the team, not to inspire them, per se, but that after that, he said, the team was ready to go out and rip someone's head off, he said you could tell there was no losing this game.

Ware says none of them (at least, most of the "newer" guys) had ever seen Parcells that way before.

Interesting.

A change in Parcells approach?
Spears: "Carolina didn't stand a chance. It all transpired from the talk in the hotel, the being down 14, the emotion on the sidelines, etc."

Spears: "Let me get this out there (when someone called in about pass rushing). Me, Fergi, and Canty are not in this defense to rush the passer. Even DeMarcus Ware and Greg Ellis have three or four other responsibilities on pass plays."

Spears: (Responding to the sack-happy media) "Our coaches are going to be happy when we go into practice tomorrow because we only let up 73 yards rushing. You aren't going to see a 15 sack guy in this defense. Its Ware and Ellis's job to re-route these guys to the outside first....

... It's Me, Canty's, and Fergi's job to get these guys into third and long so Ware and Ellis can pin their ears back. You aren't going to see sacks from this defense in first and second downs."
