believe football team
We believe we're a better football team and we didn't show it, not even close.
dangerous guy played player within
I always said -- even when I played there -- if we could ever get this guy to play within the scheme, study, and be a professional, he probably could be the most dangerous player in the league.
extra good guy knows leaders respect takes team values
He's a guy that he'll respect you if you show respect. That's kind of the way I am. I think he values good leadership; that's important to him. He knows he can only do so much as a coach, that it takes good leaders on the team to go that extra mile.
bullets camp finally forward game guys hard looking plan training trying worked
Guys are looking forward to it, ... We worked hard all offseason and training camp trying to get to this point, and now you're finally getting into the game plan and the bullets are for real now.
excuses field guys ready whoever
It's embarrassing. We aren't making any excuses about injury, guys being out. Whoever is on the field has to perform. We just weren't ready to play.
crown hit price
It should have been more than that. When you hit the quarterback, especially with the crown of your helmet, that's the price you pay.
court heard lost ride supreme tv
I'm going to get my attorney, try to take this thing to the Supreme Court and ride it out. I don't know if you know (1980s TV lawyer) Matlock. I'm getting his number. I heard he's never lost a case.
defense good job last played running stop week
I thought the defense played good last week; it was just the running game. I feel like we can stop the run week in and week out. We did a pretty good job of it today.
happened
A lot of things happened to us this year. But we didn't play up to our capabilities even before we had all those injuries.
anytime felt missed
Anytime you lose, it's a missed opportunity. The whole game, I felt we were going to win. You never want to say it's in the bank, but....
focus good last main nasty year
That was our main goal. We know we are a nasty defense. We know we are a good defense. But last year we didn't have enough takeaways. That's a focus for us this year, getting the ball.
expecting fired football game halfway home monday move obviously ready
It's a big game for us. There's been enough talk. Now we have to go out and do it. It's a home game, a Monday night, and we've got to come out fired up and ready to play. . . . We're at the halfway point. There's a lot of football left. We're 4-4 right now. Obviously we were expecting to be a lot better. But there's nothing you can do about the past. We're just going to move on from here.
figure next situation
We'd better figure it out. Especially for next year, we'd better figure it out. If we don't, we'll be back in the same situation we're in now.
hope knee prayers talking trash wish
Trash talking is trash talking, but my prayers go out to him and his family, ... I've been through two knee surgeries and I wouldn't wish that on anybody. I really hope he has a speedy recovery.
