And this is what I'm about to do.

And so that's all you can do.

And sometimes you're right, sometimes you're wrong.

And when you're wrong and you lose, that's the big talking point, right?

Especially the day after the game.

Talking about listening to your eyes as we talk to Herm Edwards, longtime coach, former NFL player, now an analyst.

I got to ask you, Herm, based on your eyes, fourth and one from the New England 14 in the second quarter, you can get a chip shot and go up by two scores.

They decide to go for it.

What would you have done in that situation?

And obviously they didn't score again in that game.

Well, the momentum of the game tells me at that point I'm going to rely, and I learned this being a coach, when you get in that situation, fourth and one, the first thing I'm doing is I'm going to go for it, but I'm going to run the ball.

I'm going to put it on the big fellas.

You know, it's almost one of those deals when you get in situations like that, and I'm not saying whatever he decided was wrong, but I do know this.

The big guys that really determine the game, offensively and defensively, the guys that put their hands in the dirt,

When you're a coach and a fourth and one and you throw a pass, you've got to deal with those big guys when they don't work now.

They're looking at you saying, Coach, you mean to tell me that you don't think we can knock these guys off the ball for a yard?

I learned that as a head coach with the Jets.

Kevin White, I can remember Kevin White.

Coach, when it's fourth and one, if you decide to go, Coach, it's got to be a run.

I had Curtis Martin.
