I told our players I couldn't be prouder of them. We fought extremely hard all year. I really appreciate them taking me with them.
Joe Gibbs -
I saw him show up a few times, I'll say that. He has a way of doing that.

In order to have a great rivalry, ... you've got to have two teams that are beating each other, and it's been one-sided. So I don't know. I can't speak for the rivalry part of it, but certainly we haven't been doing our part is the best way of putting it. And I think they're a much improved football team over last year from what I've seen on film. I think they've got a new system there on defense, and they're obviously very, very well-coached, and I have great respect there for Coach Parcells.
Joe Gibbs -
He's protected the football, which is very important. I think he has made good decisions when things aren't there, which is really important. Everybody is going to hit something that's open. But when it's not there, Mark has played well.
Joe Gibbs -
A winning effort begins with preparation.
Joe Gibbs -
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.
Joe Gibbs -
Hopefully, ... as we go here in preseason, we'll get in groove with our whole offense.
Joe Gibbs -
Hey, ... please don't give away plays from our play book. 'Deep Throat,' that's one that owner Daniel Snyder drew up for me.

But if they didn't think it was a joke, or if anybody took it the wrong way other than a joke, when you make a mistake like that, you've got to apologize. So I apologize to anybody that might have taken it the other way.

If I keep God first in my life, if I keep my family and friends as second, and then I keep my occupation third, that's when I've found success.
Joe Gibbs -
I know we don't have any Dallas people here -- they are the ugliest people in the world.
Joe Gibbs -
We kept Mark out as a precautionary measure. He looked good this morning. We don't anticipate any problems.
Joe Gibbs -
For all of us, the collective bargaining agreement is a big deal. We've seen everything in this league - strikes, free agency and salary caps. For some teams in the league, it's going to be tougher. We'll be one of the teams that it will be tough on.
Joe Gibbs -
That's one of the great moments for me, ... I can tell you that.
Joe Gibbs

You want to keep the ball, make first downs. You're trying to give yourself a chance to run and, every now and then, mix in the pass. When you lose a football game, you can say almost anything about it, but we thought we were trying to do smart things. Finishing off the game, that's a big deal, and that's what we've got to do.
Joe Gibbs -
If he didn't have the calf situation, he would have practiced, ... He played extremely well. . . . The game was very physical and he got some hits. Quarterback-wise, the odds that we can go through the year like that and keep the guy healthy. . . . I hope we can keep him healthy.
Joe Gibbs -
It will allow me to focus on things where I can help the football team. It's tough when you're in meetings and the coaches are waiting on you. I can already see that we're farther down the road on some things by doing what we're doing.
Joe Gibbs -
We'll let Patrick go this weekend. I felt we needed to give Patrick a shot. Hopefully he'll play great for us and we're all going to support him. We're going to give him all the work in practice. He's got a tough assignment this weekend in trying to lead us against Philly.
Joe Gibbs -
That concerns me a lot, ... When we don't play smart football, that really concerns you.
Joe Gibbs -
It's something we're trying to gain information about and letting them talk and visit and seeing what situations may be out there. And we're doing the same thing. We'll see if there's a fit. It has to make sense for us and make sense for both sides.

I had a basketball net that my dad had put up outside. I went out there and dribbled all day long. I wanted to play basketball. Then I'd go baseball, and then I'd go to football. I remember playing football in a plowed field. I grew up going from one thing to the next wanting to play something.
Joe Gibbs -
God made certain people to play football. He was one of them.
Joe Gibbs -
It's been a real struggle for us, ... And the only way you get out of it is to fight our way out of it.
Joe Gibbs -
I certainly had second thoughts about the way the second half went, so we want to be more balanced. We want to make sure we don't go into a game and come out of there saying, 'Hey, look, we let it get away from us by throwing the ball too much.
