I'm disappointed in the whole team, ... We didn't play the way we're capable of playing. We didn't play one of our better games. We had some opportunities and we didn't take advantage of them.
I'm disappointed in the whole team. We didn't play like we're capable of playing.
I knew Al was the kind of guy who every year is going to be in the running to be a head coach. He's a guy who's primed to be a head coach. He's always going to be a candidate. You want to make sure you have some kind of consistency with your offense.
I leave this game concerned just with how we played. Chad, he tried to force some things. He'll tell you that himself. He's harder on himself than anybody else.
He can get it down the field, he did it with Dallas,
He actually told me what the player was trying to say. So I'll leave it at that. The player didn't mean to say we quit. We quit throwing the ball. That's what he meant.
You play to win the game.
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.
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.
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's always the same when you don't get enough snaps. If we can get it going, stay on the field, the beauty of the offense is they'll all get involved in it. You've got to have drives, you've got to make first downs. You can't get players involved if you only have three plays and out. That's not real good.
I'm not a panic guy. I don't do that. Can't. When you're a leader, you can never panic, no matter what's happening. The building could be falling down. Fire could be going all places. Somebody has to make a decision on how to get out.
Talk is free. You never know what's going to happen after you talk. There's always a perception about a guy until you actually sit down and talk with him.
