He's very valuable to us. We can't afford to lose somebody like that.
If that took place, we understand the penalties. We understand somebody being taken out of the game. Sean is so valuable to us. I had a long talk with him afterward, and he understands that. He's all football. He wants to play. He's one of our leaders. He's had an outstanding year. He's very valuable to us. We can't afford to lose somebody like that.
I told Patrick that the decisions we've made, it should be pretty obvious, are based on the fact that we think a whole lot of him, ... We think he's got a tremendous future with us.
For all of us, the collective bargaining agreement is a big deal. We've seen everything in this league - strikes, free agency and salary caps. For some teams in the league, it's going to be tougher. We'll be one of the teams that it will be tough on.
They rushed the football on us, ... We don't like anybody doing that. It kind of has been something that's happened to us a little bit here recently.
(The Giants) completely dominated us the first go-around. We have a lot at stake and I know the Giants do, too. I think it's a big deal that you play the 15th game of the year and it's for something important. ... I get uptight because you worry about having to play the Giants. I don't like doing that, but we got a lot riding on it and I know New York does too.
He thinks the world of our team. He thinks we've got heart and fight.
From Mark's standpoint, when he was playing last year we weren't as good certainly as we are now, ... I think we're better now. And hopefully that will prove out to be the case.
Certainly I thought that was important for us. Particularly when you've got new receivers, you want to get in some kind of a groove there.
This is an exciting thing for us. One of the biggest things here is we want to keep our coaching staff. It's very important to us. Gregg was willing to extend his contract.
I attributed quite a bit of it to him being hurt.
He's good at that, ... But I can tell. I'm around him a lot. I couldn't even explain it. But I can feel it. He definitely wants to produce. It's not like he's getting any younger. The time to do it is now.
He was a lot calmer and sure of himself. Ann Coulter is an extremist, and she would not even look at the other person's side, but he looked at every topic he talked about from every angle.
For us it was just hard-fought, ... We fought hard all day and kept slugging. That's about all you can say from our side. I was proud of our guys, because they had great heart like that.
