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.

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.

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.

I could have returned his phone calls, but it was off-season.

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.

All of us that have teams want to pick the right people. I've thought a lot about that. In the NFL, we've got 13 scouts traveling the country. We're trying to pick 22 year-olds coming out of college who will be successful in the NFL. It's very hard to do. What I've learned is it's always character first.

Playing smart was a big emphasis this week, ... and we still had a number of penalties. That's still a real concern.

If we go to free agency without a CBA, I would say very few teams are going to be in play and be active. If you do have a CBA, there are going to be a lot of teams out there competing for players.

If I had to guess right now, it would be tough for John to make it back for Monday night, ... We'll be working full speed tonight to try to get all that done.

I'll worry about the pass routes, young man. You try and hold onto the ball a little more frequently.
Joe Gibbs

We needed to make a few more plays. I think field position was an issue and not being able to get enough plays when we needed to.
Joe Gibbs

Hopefully, ... as we go here in preseason, we'll get in groove with our whole offense.
Joe Gibbs

All I want to do is win. I'll change anything about me, what I'm doing, the coaching staff . . . I don't care.
Joe Gibbs

Why this would happen to us? I don't know. We've had three tough losses and a total of five tough losses. I wouldn't want a different group to coach. These are the guys I like. It's up to us, and we're going to see what's going to happen down the road.

Everybody at this point of the year is missing some starters. They took the Giants to overtime (on Dec. 11, and lost 26-23) and that's all you have to say.

Carlos is better. His range of motion improved. He pushed it hard yesterday, but we'll just have to see.
Joe Gibbs
-
Maybe we just like winners, ... We hope some of that will carry over to the Redskins.
Joe Gibbs
-
I saw him show up a few times, I'll say that. He has a way of doing 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.
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
-
Those two throws, absolutely you couldn't throw them any better than that.
Joe Gibbs
-
I'm just happy for him that he is playing well, ... A lot of times up here you go through tough things. At any one time in the NFL, you're going to have a number of players on a team who are going through tough situations. A lot of times the way they handle it is a measure of someone's character. I think that was Mark's situation last year and Patrick's situation now. The way you go through the tough times leads you to improvement and great performance in the future. It's a test of character when you go through that.
Joe Gibbs
-
I think it's a confidence thing, hopefully, ... and I think the guys believe. They know what you're capable off. Certainly, I think our play has stepped up as we've kind of gone here. Hopefully, it carries over. Last year was so hard for us. We couldn't get a big play like we've had in these games. We just couldn't get a big one when we had to have it.

Gregg is a valuable and important member of our organization. This is a first step in recognizing his contributions and maintaining consistency among our coaches.
