It's kind of hard to put your finger on it. We weren't as productive as we wanted to be.
I said roughly that I was starting all over again. I don't think the past buys you anything.
Any time you don't play special teams, it hurts you, ... You've got to be a legit starter if you're going to do that.
Hey, ... please don't give away plays from our play book. 'Deep Throat,' that's one that owner Daniel Snyder drew up for me.
I think any of us, including Coach Parcells, would say that it's players that win games. You have to have great players.
Most of the quarterbacks I've dealt with when they're young have had setbacks,
He will oversee and direct the offense. It will free me up to do some other things.
He's had a big learning curve, and we want to play him more than what we did the other night, ... has got him scheduled to play more. He's a very good athlete, and he also can carry the football, and at some point here I'd like to get him a few carries and kind of see what he looks like there, too. But I think it's just a work in progress, and we're working really hard with him.
I think as much as anything it's their character. They keep fighting, and it's paid off for us.
I think we've got a ton to play for. Each one of these games is kind of precious to us. We need to get back on the winning track. Everyone can count the numbers. We've got five wins; we've got five games left.
This is really a heck of a mess you left me in.
He just has to do his part, ... He doesn't have to do any more than that. He directs the offense and gets us points. He doesn't have to try to make something happen by himself.
He's been real consistent with his play since we started back this year, ... He's been confident and sure. ... What I'm looking towards is somebody to really establish themselves as a quarterback, take over and take off with the football team.
I think in that game it was total domination all the way across the board. I don't know what else to say about it. Everybody who watched it would probably say the same thing. It can happen to anybody in this league, but I also think they're very, very good. We'll be a little nervous about playing them because they kind of overwhelmed us that first time.
