That concerns me a lot, ... When we don't play smart football, that really concerns you.
We were obviously concerned after the game, but he has very little swelling, and our guys feel encouraged.
We're concerned there. We gave up five sacks. Two of them were a little situation where we didn't get the alignment the way we wanted it, so it was our fault. But at the same time, we scrambled out of there to save us a couple, too.
You're always nervous about (losing Taylor). It would be real struggle for us (without him). I know what Sean says happened and what his group says happened. I think he is concerned about it and I think he felt like there is not much he can do about it now. He's kind of put it in other people's hands. You look a guy that big and that mature-looking and (you forget that) he's really young. He was real cooperative, much more open and friendly last year, and I think he had a heck of a year. I think he genuinely thought about (skipping the 2005 off-season workout program) and won't make some of those mistakes.
Somebody's going to get a real opportunity to play for us. There still may be a solid guy there (in free agency now or after the June 1 cuts) that we feel like might come up, but that's something everybody is concerned about.
in terms of personnel, or changing the technique, there are a couple of things you can do there. We shouldn't have any blocked, and we've already had two. So it concerns us.
I don't think anybody has a handle on it. If they continue to move it, it would be a concern as the season gets closer.
I think we realized what was at stake,
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.
I think we take a long hard look at ourselves, and it certainly starts with me. ... It seemed like we were kind of all of us together on it.
I think any of us, including Coach Parcells, would say that it's players that win games. You have to have great players.
I think as much as anything it's their character. They keep fighting, and it's paid off for us.
I think it was one of the prettiest plays I've ever seen,
I think we all realized what was at stake. We had talked about it all week, the big ballgame for us and for them there was a lot at stake. There was a lot riding on it and we didn't play well. I think we take a long hard look at ourselves, and it certainly starts with me.
