We're going to try a couple of other things this week,
We felt like we had some other players that fit the role for us and do a lot of things for us. It was a competitive thing.
We're going to have to work our way through that, ... It's going to be a big topic of discussion. We've got Chris here with a short work week, so we've got to do a real good job of evaluating that.
We appreciate Patrick's contributions during his time here with the Washington Redskins. Through this entire process we always wanted what was best for Patrick and in working with him we feel this is where he wants to be. We wish all the best to him and his family and his future with the New York Jets.
The problem with signing our guys right now, almost none of the agents want to sign right now. They are afraid now if they go out and do a deal, they are going to get criticized for it.
There are players there that you wished you could have on your squad. . . . I had some tough conversations today,
I think any of us, including Coach Parcells, would say that it's players that win games. You have to have great players.
People who enjoy what they are doing invariably do it well.
They did some things early on in there that threw us some curve balls. On defense, they did a real good coaching job on that part. We had to kind of struggle to get things going again, but we did control the ball, which is a big deal.
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 coached in Washington - and in Washington, you lose the ballgame, it's a bad Monday, I just want to tell you that.
It's going to be a big topic of discussion.
It's a real concern, ... It's a problem. We've got to get it corrected because you won't win games up here turning the ball over and I'd still say those are two areas where we have not showed the kind of improvement I'd like -- turning the ball over and penalties. So it's something for a real focus from now until game time. In the regular season, we've got to try to find something to fix it.
I will be honest and say that I've never seen a schedule I like.
