NFL GAMEDAY MORNING –
PART 1 OF 3
9:00 AM – 12 Noon ETQuotes from NFL GameDay Morning
– “The better team is the San Francisco 49ers. When you put [the individual position advantages] all together, I don’t think it is that evenly matched.” – Kurt Warner on Super Bowl XLVII
– “The defense does not define the Baltimore Ravens. They are physical, but not intimidating [or] consistent.” – Deion Sanders on the Baltimore Ravens
– “The Baltimore Ravens have to stop the run by not bringing Bernard Pollard up [near the line of scrimmage] so the San Francisco 49ers don’t go over the top.” – Brian Billick on the Baltimore Ravens’ defensive strategy
– “There will be a game changing decision – like Sean Payton’s onside kick – one of the Harbaugh brothers will have to make which will separate them.” – Steve Mariucci on the battle of Jim and John Harbaugh in Super Bowl XLVII
– “Joe Flacco’s mentality brought the Ravens to the next level. Maybe he realized it was ‘put up or shut up’ time regarding his contract situation.” – Deion Sanders on what has changed in the Baltimore Ravens offense since Jim Caldwell was named offensive coordinator
– “The 49ers have the best linebacker group [in the NFL].” – Steve Mariucci on the San Francisco 49ers linebackers
