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.

To Mark's benefit, ... I think he's been really consistent with his play since we started back this year. I think he's been confident and sure.
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.

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.

I'm looking for someone to establish himself as our quarterback.
Joe Gibbs

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.

It's a very competitive thing, pro sports. The hardest thing in pro sports is staying up there.

If we lose the game, we're not going anywhere. So my mind-set is on one thing, Philadelphia. That's the way I feel about it.

People who enjoy what they are doing invariably do it well.

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.

As a coach, you feel like you're letting everybody down.

Brandon's super important to us and what we decided was it was probably best for the team and for him to put him on IR instead of rushing him back.

I love coaching my grandkids, but I love working with my two sons. J.D. is the head coach, and I'm the assistant - you believe that? I missed so much of them growing up. I really messed up there. So I like working with J.D. and Coy. I'm trying not to do the same thing again. With J.D. and Coy, I missed so much.

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

There are some real critical decisions we're going to make in that group. So we played them a lot. And hopefully the film will tell us what we need to know so we make good decisions.
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.
Joe Gibbs
-
I know a lot of people would disagree with this, and I understand that. For me, personally, I felt like it was a decision that I had to make. I think we've got a situation where two quarterbacks can win ball games for us. ... I know this is something that Patrick doesn't agree with - he's a very competitive guy - but it's something we're going to have to work through.
Joe Gibbs

It has been a big emphasis for us this week.

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
-
Mark took most of the script and looked good. I'm sure that's the way we'll start.
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.
