I know we don't have any Dallas people here -- they are the ugliest people in the world.
Joe Gibbs -
I think NASCAR makes it pretty clear that they're not going to put up with any of that, ... I might be saying something different five weeks from now, but right now I'm not worried about that stuff.

Just doing his part, ... He doesn't have to do more than that, you know. Direct it and get us points, but just do his part. I think one thing about Patrick is he's a real good student. I think he's smart. When you put the game plan in he has a feel for what we're doing there, so he only has to do his part. He doesn't have to make something happen by himself.
Joe Gibbs -
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, ... and I'm picking up the tab!
Joe Gibbs -
I'm just a cruiser, ... I'm not fast.
Joe Gibbs -
We kept Mark out as a precautionary measure. He looked good this morning. We don't anticipate any problems.
Joe Gibbs -
We're going to have to wait that out, ... But if I had to guess right now, I think it would make it tough for him to make it back for Monday night. We'll just have to work our way through that situation and see what's the best way of handling that.
Joe Gibbs -
Patrick is going to see that he made some real good things. He hit some deep balls and made some key plays for us, and that's partly what I'm referring to. And then he turned the ball over. We can't do that and Patrick knows that.

Santana has fantastic ball reaction, ... Very few people can snatch a ball right out of the air like that. And he has great burst. He can be running and he doesn't even put his hands up because he has such confidence. He's very much a downfield threat.
Joe Gibbs -
If there's anybody that's got better long-ball reaction than that guy -- he turned around and snatched that thing from I don't know where.
Joe Gibbs -
People say, 'Why would you go get the free agents? Well, look at the guys we wouldn't have on our football team.
Joe Gibbs -
I don't think it's as easy as people make it out to be. You also have to protect in there. You're looking through your legs and trying to get something back there 15 yards to a certain spot. Your head's down and there's someone coming who just gets a free whack at you. I don't think there's anything easy about that deal.
Joe Gibbs -
That is my responsibility. Obviously, we want to be more productive than we were in the playoffs.
Joe Gibbs -
Any time you get into the playoffs, it's a huge deal.

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.
Joe Gibbs -
Mark took most of the script and looked good. I'm sure that's the way we'll start.
Joe Gibbs -
Somebody's going to get a real opportunity to play for us. There still may be a solid guy there (in free agency now or after the June 1 cuts) that we feel like might come up, but that's something everybody is concerned about.
Joe Gibbs -
Not very good ones, I'll tell you that. We always seemed to have a tough time against them.
Joe Gibbs -
We always want to get him in the game plan. We always want to get him the ball. Last week against Dallas, he only had three catches, but they were all big. He was one of the keys to us offensively and we try to work hard to get him the ball.
Joe Gibbs -
If you make a lot of yards and you turn the ball over, then you don't score points, ... So that's a tough lesson to learn. Maybe I'm looking at the good side of it Maybe it's good we get the lesson now. Last year, we started out the season and that's exactly what haunted us -- we turned the ball over and right now we're next to last in the league in terms of giveaways and takeaways.

It has been a big emphasis for us this week.
Joe Gibbs -
Our heart goes out to everybody down there, ... They've got to do whatever they've got to do. We're all praying for everybody down there. There's been a number of our players affected by it, and you just hope that somehow such a tragedy somehow we'll get that all squared away as quick as we can. So I would say whatever they've got to do, the Saints . . . I just feel bad for them.
Joe Gibbs -
Certainly I would hope that this victory would be one that the guys say, 'Hey look, we're never out of something,' ... We're going to keep fighting no matter what. I hope we can kind of build on that and correct the things that we did poorly.
Joe Gibbs -
Here is one of the biggest games I've ever been at, and Patrick Ramsey has to go in and try and win it for us. He's handled this situation better than I think anybody could, and it's a tribute to his character. He was ready. He stepped in and made some plays for us.
