That's always a concern with a player when he's injured. There's a difference between injured and pain. If a guy's injured, he's injured. Pain is pain. Guys can play with pain. Guys can't play when they're injured.
It would have been a great story if Brooks had went out there and scored 21 points, ... That would have been great theater. But the reality of that is very difficult, as we know, in this league for any QB when defense is playing good. And the Ravens played well.
You gotta have a little kid in you to play football.
Quitting is not an option. I will not let anyone on this team quit.
You play to win the game.
We're in a situation where time is of the essence,
There are certain players that bring more to your team than just being a football player. If you're talking about Tony Richardson, he brings a whole lot to this team besides being a good football player. We're going to do everything we can to bring him back.
When you spot a team that many points in the first half, it's difficult to win, ... You can't play ball like that on the road. It was way too much. We kind of had our fate handed to us early.
We actually recovered that one, ... so we were all right.
We're going to get a good football player. Last time I checked, I had a saying a couple of years ago that you play the game for one reason and one reason only. Right? That hasn't changed for me. You play to win.
We're going to miss him, there's no doubt about that, ... I'm not all of the sudden going to make it a doom-and-gloom situation. He's out. He's done. There's nothing more to say.
We're getting to the point where you don't say I'm an African-American coach. I'm just 'Coach.
We don't know where he's at, ... He's been a work force, he's been a guy that's always answered the bell. We'll see where he's at.
We did it looking at what was best for the players and best for the team.
