"You know what, we took care of the little things," Elway said Monday at his season-ending press conference. "You look at what we did penalty-wise and the discipline that the team played with, I think all those things made drastic turn-arounds from where we'd been. I think that was a start, but that's what Vic impressed with, his attention to detail. One of the great things he did [is] it's hard to make the transition from the box to the sideline and be able to call a defense and be the play caller from the box compared to the sideline. I think that was seamless. He did that tremendously. He was able to not lose anything of what he did as a defensive coordinator and continue to do what he did on the defensive side, but also be a tremendous head coach. The players believe in him. Again, when we talked about last year and talked to Vic before he was here, those are the things that stood out to me. That's kind of what we needed. All those things came to fruition and where we are and the discipline that we play with. That's only going to get better. He's got one year under his belt. That's going to continue to get better. On the base of what he's put on our football team, they understand what those points are. That's only going to continue to get better."
