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

I don't know about that, ... I've never heard that over a headset, I'll put it that way.

If I'm somebody that says the team is important and the players and coaches need to sacrifice and I then see an opportunity to help the football team and don't do it -- I would be going against the basic principal of what I preach.
Joe Gibbs

I think it's just a matter of getting back in there and letting him do a little bit of everything. I don't think we've decided on a specific role for him. Hopefully, he's going to be getting some major work for us and major playing time.

A loss (Sunday) would have meant your back was against the wall and you're pretty much fighting week to week just to survive. To wind up 5-3, this puts you in a much better position. ... It gives you the feeling that you're fighting for it rather than trying to come off the floor.
Joe Gibbs

It has been a big emphasis for us this week.
Joe Gibbs

It's great at least to be at 4-2, ... That part is fun. You get to play games that count now. We're entering a tough stretch here. It starts with the Giants.
Joe Gibbs
-
Their defense is tough. We know it's going to be stacked against us, but at least we have the opportunity and the chance.

People say, 'Why would you go get the free agents? Well, look at the guys we wouldn't have on our football team.

Football is a big deal at Miami. They play a tremendous schedule. If you're taking a look at somebody -- if he can play at Miami and be that kind of a guy and a leader there, then chances are he's going to be successful up here, too.
Joe Gibbs

That is my responsibility. Obviously, we want to be more productive than we were in the playoffs.
Joe Gibbs

That was the first time we got manhandled by somebody in the regular season. Our guys just took it upon themselves. They knew what needed to be done and they knew they needed to play hard.
Joe Gibbs
-
He's been very, very competitive. Some people are born to be accountants and lawyers. Some are born to be quarterbacks. And he was. He's very tough. We gave him an award this week for being tough. He's a tremendous competitor.
Joe Gibbs
-
He has fantastic long-ball, and ball reactions, ... Very few people can snatch a ball right out of the air like that quick. And then the other thing, he's got a great burst, and when you get him going downfield and put in the ball reaction, he can be running, I think, and doesn't even put his hands up until the last second because he has such confidence there in where the ball is. Even though he's a shorter receiver, I think he's very much a downfield threat because of that, and then, of course, he's got great speed.
Joe Gibbs
-
That's an area we need to be looking at.
Joe Gibbs
-
That was a tough assignment there. That kind of tells you the reason why people fight so hard for home-field advantage. That was a tough environment today, and that's the way it's supposed to be.
Joe Gibbs
-
I know he's disappointed not making more of an impact, not playing more, ... It's something we just have to work our way through. I think our defensive schemes are trying to use all of our people. In this case, I could see people saying, 'Hey, I don't understand that.' But I think it's just something we're working our way through as we scheme it up. It's just one of those things.
Joe Gibbs
-
It's a very competitive thing, pro sports. The hardest thing in pro sports is staying up there.
Joe Gibbs

That was the most congenial conversation I think I've ever had with anybody. What I was saying to him there was, 'I think you can help the football team' - that's when my finger came out. I said, 'Look, you can help this football team. You can rush the punter.' But I was also telling him, 'Now, this is what you need to do in order to do that.
Joe Gibbs

I feel humbled and really thankful the Lord's blessed us with a great bunch of guys. Any time you get into the playoffs, it's a huge deal. ... I don't know what to say about it, other than: I'm just thrilled. It's hard to get into the playoffs.
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.

In talking to Mark, he gives me the impression that he thinks he can go and we'll work towards that.
