I had great football players. To be quite truthful, my great football players, the ones who wanted the ball at the end of the games, they weren't focused on money. They want to do something great. They want to go to Pro Bowls. They want to win Super Bowls. Those are the people that succeed in sports - or in business.
-
It was just a general feeling I have. I'm looking for someone to really establish themselves as the quarterback, take over and take off with the team.
-
We're all working hard to try to improve it in any way in the league and particularly officiating is a big deal, ... I think we've got very professional people there, and they work hard at it and we need to be a part of helping them and not working against them.
-
Probably what I'm going to have is two receivers mad every week. It's just a matter of which two among our group.
-
Last year we saw rookies play extremely well at quarterback, and they beat us; Pittsburgh beat us soundly.
-
I think we all realized what was at stake. We had talked about it all week, the big ballgame for us and for them there was a lot at stake. There was a lot riding on it and we didn't play well. I think we take a long hard look at ourselves, and it certainly starts with me.
-
It was smart on his part, but it still took guts. I kind of admire him for doing that.
-
You're always nervous about (losing Taylor). It would be real struggle for us (without him). I know what Sean says happened and what his group says happened. I think he is concerned about it and I think he felt like there is not much he can do about it now. He's kind of put it in other people's hands. You look a guy that big and that mature-looking and (you forget that) he's really young. He was real cooperative, much more open and friendly last year, and I think he had a heck of a year. I think he genuinely thought about (skipping the 2005 off-season workout program) and won't make some of those mistakes.
-
I was concerned. I wanted to see what happened overnight. He gave me a good report.
-
You make sure you cover all the things we did poorly. Sometimes in a win like that, you have a tendency to say we played great, but you miss a lot of things that we did poorly. Penalties were definitely a problem. We turned the ball over. ... We've been riding a ragged edge. That's not good football. We've got to fix it. We've got to look at it as a great win, but there's things we need to improve upon.
-
I think all you can ask for is to have a chance at the end of the year. A lot of great cars still have a chance and we've got to earn it every week.
-
I've appreciated how Patrick has handled the situation all year. It says a lot about him and his character.
-
You and I are players, God's our coach, and we're playing the biggest game of all. We have a loving God that made us. We need to get on His team. It says in His word, there's only one way to Him and that's through Jesus Christ.
-
We told Danny to get right on it, ... and we told our trainers to get right on it and try to get us some kind of feeling.
-
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.
-
It does influence every part of your life and it influences every decision you make. (speaking about faith)
-
I will say this, we don't listen to him all the time or we'd be out here in our underwear.
-
It was one of those nights where everything went our way.
-
You always have a burning desire to do well, ... It wouldn't matter if it was the first year, second year, third year.
-
We're counting on Sean being here. We had a good talk about it today. We're both on the same page.
-
I don't know how to rate it, I just know that being 5-3 right now is pretty good.
-
Jason did some good things and some bad things.
-
You try to go within reason, ... and to make sure you're doing smart things. And you take a long, hard look at a game like this and say, 'Okay, what can we do to improve ourselves?' But I think we need to stay aggressive, and I think we all want to be aggressive.
-
There have been a number of times where this team could have said we're out of it and given up. It got to the point where our backs were against the wall and the players responded. That's says a lot about their character.
