We think that right now we got a core group of players that are extremely hard working. Now, how good we're going to be, how many games we're going to win? That remains to be seen.
Joe Gibbs -
We would like to solve everything that we could on our football team in free agency. That way you go into the draft and you're freewheeling.

In times of biggest change, if you can keep your head and be the smartest, you may get a jump over everybody else. It's a challenge, but it's an opportunity, too.
Joe Gibbs -
There are different ways that people feel like it should be done. Any way that you can add a player -- I don't care if it's a trade, the draft, free agency -- I want to be aggressive. Free agency is a place where you make fewer mistakes because you're not trying to project somebody from a college environment to the pros. You've got somebody that has already played up here and been successful.
Joe Gibbs -
They did some things early on in there that threw us some curve balls. On defense, they did a real good coaching job on that part. We had to kind of struggle to get things going again, but we did control the ball, which is a big deal.
Joe Gibbs -
If you were to draw it up, I would say the best way to win the game is to move the ball ourselves and keep them off the field.
Joe Gibbs -
That's my responsibility. Obviously we wanted to be much more productive than what we were in the playoffs. We always each year try and look real hard at everything, and that'll be one of the things we look real hard at is, offensively, how can we do a better job.
Joe Gibbs -
I have to see how this all shakes out. We will see how everybody heals up, and I will sit and look at it and decide what we are going to do.

Sometimes just getting out of the pocket and getting rid of the ball can be the biggest play of the game. As I've said many times, a quarterback's biggest play is when it's not there. Everyone is going to hit it when it's there. When it's not there, what do you do with it?
Joe Gibbs -
I certainly haven't talked about anything like that.
Joe Gibbs -
All of our guys thought he was on the ground. That's what everybody told me. I didn't see it, but that's what instant replay is for.
Joe Gibbs -
We decided to take our best shot and go at them. We didn't want to lose a Super Bowl by not being tough enough.
Joe Gibbs -
We've all kind of been in a similar situation. In my case it was a racquetball tournament.
Joe Gibbs -
It was a tough deal for us for him to get hurt. So what we're going to try to do is make the best decision.
Joe Gibbs
-
What I remember about the old days is that when we had real good football teams, they had a knack for beating us.
Joe Gibbs -
I said roughly that I was starting all over again. I don't think the past buys you anything.
Joe Gibbs -
It was a big deal. At the end of the game, we're kicking an extra point to win the game.
Joe Gibbs -
in terms of personnel, or changing the technique, there are a couple of things you can do there. We shouldn't have any blocked, and we've already had two. So it concerns us.
Joe Gibbs -
The contract I signed wasn't for three or four years. It was for five years.
Joe Gibbs -
We had a couple of good talks. That's the only statement I want to make.
Joe Gibbs
-
The Ravens gave us some fronts that gave us trouble.
Joe Gibbs -
We wish Bill Musgrave all the best in his new role with the Falcons organization. Although it is unfortunate that he departed, we always want what is best for our coaches and their families, which is why we gave Atlanta permission to interview him.
Joe Gibbs -
He's young. He's got a heck of an arm. I think he's capable of making any throw you want him to make. One of the best learning tools a quarterback can have is watching somebody else.
Joe Gibbs -
One thing about Patrick is he's a real good student. I think he's smart, and kind of knows when you put in the game plan that he's got a feeling for it.
