NFL.COM: Bill Parcells Super Bowl Chat Transcript... a couple 'boys blurbs

[WoodysGirl]

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins



Hi everyone, glad to be here, and ready to take some questions.

Kj, St Louis

2:58 PM ET


Coach, would you equate the Colts' missing Freeney to you not having LT in a game like this?

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




KJ, absolitely. I think Freeney is obviously the Colts top pressure player. Mathis is good, but Freeney commands attention by more than one player. they will absolutely.



Bob Bellantoni, New Jersey

2:59 PM ET


Hey Bill...hello from the Monmouth County, N.J. Shore! This game looks to be an explosive shootout. Both QB's are so solid. Do you think the edge may be the Saints Special Teams...the return game???

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Hi Bob, both Roby and Bush have shown return ability. I do think that gives the Saints a slight edge in that area. But the colts have alot of quickness and I'm sure they will be on point. Either kicking the ball out of bounds or finding a way to keep it away from those returners.



Eddie, Toronto

3:01 PM ET


Which of the former Cowboys on the Saints roster do you most regret letting go?

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Eddie, one of them left in free agency -- Scott Fujita. I didn't have much chance to competer since Fujita's agent was also Sean Payton's agent! Scott Shanley, I always had high regard for. Probably if anyone had gone on to have a career that I thought he might have was Scott. I guess I regret him most.



Dave Gardella, Virginia

3:02 PM ET


Hey Bill, it appears you and Ricky Williams have a pretty good friendship. What are your thoughts on Ricky, and how has his role as a leader changed since you first took over in 2007?

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Dave, not being in the locker room every day, I couldn't tell you to omuch about Ricky's leadership with the team. I do have a good relationship with him He's an honest, hard-working guy.Forthright, and working hard to rejuvenate his career. And he's certainly done that.


Steve, Atlanta

3:04 PM ET


Bill, I wanted to ask you about one of your former pupils... How did Sean Payton become such a good play caller and where did he develop into such a creative offensive schemer.

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Steve, I'd have to credit Sean with that. He's a dedicated football guy, he researches thoroughly, and he has a good feel for what his personnel can do. And he tries to maximizes that. That's why he's such a good play-caller, because he recognizes what his players can do.


Vinbob, Tampa, FL

3:07 PM ET


Tuna - did Rex Ryan call you at all during the season for advice? Heard him on tv saying he thought you would answer that call? If he did, I hope you told him to put extra gravy on his fries.

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Rex did call -- but it was for advice on the Breeder's Cup. I told him he should consult with someone else on that matter!



Johnny O, Detroit

3:07 PM ET


Hey Bill Huge fan, Do you believe that two weeks to prepare for the SB#44 is better or worst for the two teams. Considering rythm and timing is important when staying sharp.

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Hi Johnny, Having been faced with a two-week time frame in our first Super Bowl and one week in out second, I would say the two weeks is more advantageous for the coaches and for players to get healthy. I think the one week lapse puts too much pressure on the logistics for a game of this magnitude.

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Before super Bowl XXV, we had to fly straight to Tampa for Super Bowl week from San Francisco after we beat the 49ers in the NFC title game.


Ciso, Dallas

3:10 PM ET


Bill, Since you are responsible for launching Tony Romo`s career, Do you find yourself watching him play even though you are on another team? Do kind of see it like he`s your kids.

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




I have -- along with Tony -- a number of players I'm very fond of, guys I've seen grow and develop. He is certainly a guy that I've watched, along with the Brady James, De Marcus Wares, Jason Wittens, and Miles Austins.


oscar, Miami

3:12 PM ET


Bill, are you guys are considering bringing a number 1 receiver for chad henne

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Oscar, we'd be interested in the position. But they have to be available, we can't invent them.


Jay , Spencer, Iowa

3:13 PM ET


Being from Iowa I'm a Kurt Warner fan. What's your take on Kurt getting into the HOF?

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Jay, I think he'll go in on roller skates.


al cacace, hollywood

3:13 PM ET


could Chad Penington be offerd a coaching job with the Dolphins

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Al, I think Chad's intention is to try to continue playing, so I don't think coaching is on the forefront for him right now.


Andrew M, Atlanta

3:15 PM ET


In your opinion, if the Saints Defense cannot produce a turnover, can the team still win?

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Andrew, turnovers are a vital part of any game, and in my opinion the most significant of statistics. I think both teams will be hard-pressed to win without creating turnovers.


Vinnie , Rochester Ny

3:16 PM ET


What are the odds Jason Taylor will remain with the Dolphins?Also do you like working with Stephen Ross?

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Vinnie, the first part: I do like working with Stephen Ross. I don't know the answer to the Taylor question at this moment. He's a free agent as of March 5 and we haven't discussed it yet. We'll see where that goes when the time comes.


ed lunsford, FL

3:18 PM ET


Mr. Parcells, how have you managed to avoid having draftees holdout?

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Ed, we try to be at what we feel the market price is as quickly as possible. Most good agents recognize that.


Victor, Atlanta, GA

3:19 PM ET


This one is for fun... Who is funnier you or Dan Henning?

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




He's a lot funnier than I am!

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Dan and I are kind of like grumpy old men...



Mitch, Halifax, Canada

3:20 PM ET


Hey bill, do you think the Saints defence can get the same pressure and hits to Manning that they got againts Warner and Favre, also with out Freeney do you think that the Colts will be able to stop Brees from carving up the Colts secondary?

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Mitch, I think Peyton Manning and the Colts passing game gets rid of the ball more quickly, and that will make it more difficult to get pressure on Peyton.

The Saints have very good pass protection in the middle -- their guards are very powerful, and that give Brees room to step up. So I think both teams will struggle on pressure. I think both teams will have to blitz a little to get the pressure they need.


Dan, Bayonne,NJ

3:25 PM ET


What is your biggest regret with regards to your coaching career?

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




Hi Dan, probablty having to leave the New England Patriots.

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins




This has been fun, and thanks for the questions. As with all fans, I will be watching Sunday with great interest.

There is a lot of uncertainty about the game, and that is what intrigues me.

classic Parcells

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Eh, Whats Parcells know?

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Wait, I know hes an oldie but what is De Marcus Ware, Jason Wittens, Miles Austins, Brady James.....


Maybe someone was typing for him as he talked.....

 

[Four]

I would have bills baby.

honestly I would make love to him, even if he wore a condom.

I love you bill, call me.

 

[JPM]

I really miss his PC's

 

[pgreptom]

I really miss his PC's

Me too - "We can't invent them" -> Classic Parcells... he looks so much better now that he's not the head coach..

 

[theebs]

you could always tell he loved bradie james. He was trying everyway he could in 04 to get him on the field!

oh and how long before the jacob rogers crowd shows up, I will give it a few more posts and then this will turn into 20 pages of why parcells, ireland, gaine and his former players all suck.

 

[AMERICAS_FAN]

Bill Parcells, Miami Dolphins: I have [watched] -- along with Tony [Romo] -- a number of [Dallas Cowboys] players I'm very fond of, guys I've seen grow and develop. [tony Romo] is certainly a guy that I've watched, along with the Brady James, De Marcus Wares, Jason Wittens, and Miles Austins.

Wow! Bobby Carpenter gets no love again, not even from the guy that coveted him in the draft. Not a single mention of Carprenter, and he actually played the nickel LB position exceptionally well in 2009. :laugh1:

Oh, and by the way, I wonder if Parcells also watched the eroding carrers of all his draft busts from his years in Dallas, or does he just remeber the guys who panned out? Maybe that'll explain why he mentions Ware as a guy he's fond of and watches, with no mention of Marcus Spears, who Parcells wanted Dallas to draft with that first pick instead of Ware. Hey, I'm jst wonderin...

 

[Four]

no you aren't you are trying to piss on a guy that truly helped the team you supposedly root for.

First of all Bill had more good Drafts then he did Draft busts. Anything done by Witten, Romo, Austin And Ware you can thank Bill for not the dope. Wade is just building off a core of players that are already there. He didnt have to do any real thinking since he got here. All he has to do is sit back and make a dumb joke every now and then and he is good.

Apparently you were too generous. The very next post was the correct answer.

 

[Temo]

He was trying to say DeMarcus Ware's career, and Jason Witten's career, etc. Follows the question that he was asked.

I like how he regrets Scott Shanle so much that he couldn't spell his name right (Shanley).

 

[Idgit]

Apparently you were too generous. The very next post was the correct answer.

Yep, but he totally nailed it. Pretty funny. I read his post and thought 'nah, we're dumb, but not that dumb.' Then I read the very next post and cracked up.

Reading that drivel was a waste of my time.

 

[burmafrd]

BP was not god and he was not the devil. strange how so many here just do not get that. Overall he greatly improved the team. Only true MORONS try and deny that. Unfortunately, he was about burned out as a coach. I think 2003 was his last top year as a coach. But he did lay the foundation for a very good team.

Oh man, that is gonna start a sheet storm in here.

 

[burmafrd]

They are BP guys. so of course he is going to watch their careers. Don't know what all the sturm und drang is about.

It's hard to not like Parcells.

As is reading you putting down the man responsible for the team we have. The core members of a team that gave us our first playoff win in 13 years. Why dont you go ahead and take ever parcells signed and drafted player and tell me we are even in the playoffs let alone winning one. Open your eyes or go learn something about football. Go away until then little boy.
