(Ryan) just took control of the offense. He was poised. He just made plays. Matt is a great quarterback. The more he plays, the better he's going to get. He just needs to get on the field to show his ability.
It wasn't a surprise. We knew what they were capable of.
If he ever had the chance, he'd catch 70 to 80 balls a year easy, ... The guy catches everything. You can't cover him.
A lot of people think this is a Latino-Hispanic issue, but this is an issue for all immigrants.
He's not playing around. I think he's going to bring that edge.
It's embarrassing. For us to go out there and score three points is inexcusable.
It sucks. You work so damn hard and things don't fall the way you want it to. It's frustrating, so frustrating. I don't know what to do now. I'm telling guys on the team that I just want to go home. We really expected to win this game. I just have that empty feeling.
I never thought we were out of it. I never did. It's in our hands. Why not? I'm an optimist. It's worked out for us in the past, and I'm not going to see it any other way.
I didn't go downfield at all. It's frustrating. I haven't even sniffed the end zone this year. The Eagles didn't do anything special to stop me. I just didn't get the opportunity. I need to get the ball to help this team win.
Leadership doesn't come from age. He's a young leader. He's not just any other backup quarterback coming into the game. We know what he's capable of.
As far as I'm concerned, it is now or never. If we don't get it done now, we're stuck in a rebuilding mode. We still have to go out and restructure some contracts, mine included, and go out and pick up some free agents, at least one or two of them who can make a big impact.
If someone else can do it cheaper for you, you ought to look at it, especially if they can do it cheaper and at a higher level. It's tax money, but even if we didn't save money, it's about getting a higher level of service and about being a little bit flexible.
You can't be surprised by what he's been doing. When he gets the ball in his hands it's hard to bring him down.
We started throwing the ball down the field.
