Our goal is to try to hold it on offense in that situation, and don't give it back, ... Run time off the clock and protect the lead. We need to average more than that when we're rushing the football.
Looking back to 5-6, we talked at that time that if we lost another game we'd be out. Trying to win five straight is a tough deal, but our guys seemed to understand what it would take. We went back to the basics.
Yeah, but our guys are too smart for that. We talk all the time about that and they understand it.
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.
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.
What David is, is a very, very good route runner, ... He's showed that he's got patience. He's got really good hints, which normally means you're a real good route runner, when you can go in there and just have a natural way of selling something. All it is is a little hint, but you see the defender take a big bite off of it. He's got real good instincts that way, and he's been around a long time and is just one of the hardest-working, high-quality guys you want to be around.
They had the upper hand for a long time out there. We had a tough time getting anything done against their defense. Any time you get into the playoffs it's a huge deal. I feel great for these guys because so many of them haven't experienced it before.
I'm just happy for him that he is playing well, ... A lot of times up here you go through tough things. At any one time in the NFL, you're going to have a number of players on a team who are going through tough situations. A lot of times the way they handle it is a measure of someone's character. I think that was Mark's situation last year and Patrick's situation now. The way you go through the tough times leads you to improvement and great performance in the future. It's a test of character when you go through that.
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 feel humbled and really thankful the Lord's blessed us with a great bunch of guys. Any time you get into the playoffs, it's a huge deal. ... I don't know what to say about it, other than: I'm just thrilled. It's hard to get into the playoffs.
Not very good ones, I'll tell you that. We always seemed to have a tough time against them.
It's what I lean on. Any time I feel down, like we all do, I think about that. Hey, this is where I'm supposed to be. There's a confidence knowing that God has put you here, and it's a matter of you living this, doing the best you can, working the hardest you can, trying to make it happen. Whether it's going to happen or not, we don't know.
Any time you get into the playoffs, it's a huge deal.
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.
