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.
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.
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.
He's not a starter and hasn't started, ... I know he's disappointed in not making more of an impact, not playing more, but I think it's something we have to work our way through. I think it's one of those things scheme-wise for our defense, it's the best way I would answer that. We've got a lot of guys that are talented guys who can do a lot of things for us. ... Health-wise, I think he's back.
Our guys in the fourth quarter are fighting their guts out. I would hope that they'd start the game like that.
Something like that starts with me. . . . It was all of us together.
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.
Hopefully, something starts working out so we can get Patrick some place that he would like. I don't have a time frame on it. We don't feel pressure or anything.
I was starting all over. It's a tough road up here and last year, for whatever reason, I probably deserved it (the criticism).
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.
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.
