I'm sure every team in the league goes through what we're going through. It's no different for us. The morale is not down, but we're trying to figure it out. ... I hate losing. I haven't really slept very well. It's good I got decent skin or you'd see all these bags under by eyes. It's not a good feeling right now. I'm eager to get a winning streak going.
I thought the call that was before that was sort of a cheap call. I just came down and was frustrated. By no means was I trying to hit a fan. If anything, I was trying to get a delay of game. Unfortunately, that happened. I apologized to the little girl and her father.
It's not good, but what we're doing now is trying to prepare for next year. That's the reality. We have 17 games to go. I was just focusing on trying to win at least one of these games on the road.
By no means was I trying to hit a fan. I didn't even really look at where I tossed it, I was so ... damned mad.
By no means was I trying to hit a fan.
It's about progress. The more you play, the more you progress. ... I can see where he's trying to develop some of this younger talent we have right here.
It was a game that we had to have. As far as momentum and trying to create some with our schedule, this came at the right time...Playing a team that is an aggressive team, I thought we did a good job of meeting that aggression.
He's definitely into it. Sometimes, he does look a little bewildered, but I don't think passion is in the back seat, so to speak. He's playing with a lot of heart, but at the same time, he's trying to figure it out.
I don't know, man. This whole thing is an adjustment. I'm just trying to figure it out as we go.
He just talked to me briefly, and I could tell right away that we were going to get along.
He has matured so fast. Probably because he's had no choice, given the position that he's in. He had to succeed. He had to be aggressive. It's been learn-as-you-go. He's handled it. He's maturing beautifully, and it's working out. So far, so good.
I wasn't going to feed into what you guys wanted me to say,
Good; I can talk some (trash) to him. That's probably the reason he's not returning my phone calls. It makes a lot of sense.
It's more me than him. I have to make sure that we are ready to play. It seemed like in the third quarter we didn't want to play. I had to come out of my element and speak on it but it took me out of my focus. But that's my responsibility.
