here is the interesting part for all the analysts who suggest the proverbial "dont make mistakes and dont lose the game " theory
(On if he tells Matt Cassel that he doesn't have to win games, just minimize mistakes) - "No, not really. We tell everybody to go out there and do their job and we try to win the game. That's what they're out there for. That's what a quarterback is, they've got to execute the plays and go out there and make plays for us to win. I don't think you can walk out on the field and tell everybody, 'Let's try not to lose.' I think you got to go out there and try to win. There's an old saying that, 'you can't win a war by digging a hole,' and I believe that. I think you got to be able to attack your opponent and make some plays. You just can't sit there and do nothing all day and wait for them to make some big mistake and just try not to lose the game. I don't believe in coaching that way.
