"I know, in that game, in the red zone, the plays we ran, most of them we hadn't ran most of those plays that year," Faulk noted. "And a couple of plays on third down that we walked through also . . . Any time that I was offset, I was always stationary. And we had creating motioning in the backfield at the same depth on the other side of the field. And they created a check for it. It's just little things like that. It's either the best coaching in the world when you come up with situations that you had never seen before. Or you'd seen it and knew what to do."
Can someone a little more football savvy than I explain what the heck this means?

Faulk is simply saying they were using plays that NO team had seen all year and the Patriots actually had defensive check downs for them, as if they had seen those types of formations before.

Also...I believe Faulk is referring to the offset-I when he talks about being stationary in the backfield. As far as "creating motioning," I think that means Warner would send a WR in motion who would get as deep as Faulk was in the backfield before the ball was snapped.
