I'd say for us, obviously we have a long way to go. We're going to have to go home. We've got a lot of work to do.

We didn't have anything at stake. Minnesota came in here and had to have it, but we beat them. Up here, it's all about pride.

I think Sean could play running back. I think he could play receiver. I think he could play corner, ... Any expanded role is something we'll continue to work with because he's so unusual.
Joe Gibbs

I felt like he got hit low on it. He tried to come back but felt like he couldn't. We'll have to see how that develops over the next couple of days.

We'd had three tough losses in a row and everybody was down. I think our players said to themselves: 'Our backs are up against the wall and we've got no other option other than just to win, and if we lose another game we're probably out.' So they kind of took it as this last stand, and it was that way every week . . .somehow we found a way to win those last five.

Philly has been dominating things in the division. You aren't going to go anywhere until you can match up with them.

When I told (my wife) Pat (that I was coming back), she said you're going to ruin your good name. After the first year, we're halfway there.

I don't think you rule anything out when you go into a draft, especially if you think there's someone there who you think you can go get. Would you be willing to trade or make a move? I don't think we're afraid to do that--last year we did it. And I wouldn't rule something like that out.

We're concerned there. We gave up five sacks. Two of them were a little situation where we didn't get the alignment the way we wanted it, so it was our fault. But at the same time, we scrambled out of there to save us a couple, too.

I think any of us, including Coach Parcells, would say that it's players that win games. You have to have great players.

It's been pretty traumatic, ... I thought we were kind of set there in a lot of ways. It just goes to show in the NFL you're never sure.
Joe Gibbs
-
It's kind of hard to put your finger on it. We weren't as productive as we wanted to be.
Joe Gibbs
-
We fought hard all day and kept slugging, ... I was proud of our guys because they've got great heart. They found a way to win the ballgame.
Joe Gibbs

From Mark's standpoint, when he was playing last year we weren't as good certainly as we are now, ... I think we're better now. And hopefully that will prove out to be the case.
Joe Gibbs

It was one of those nights where everything went our way.
Joe Gibbs

We ran him and he just couldn't run.

Look for players with character and ability. But remember, character comes first.

The only way I know to get involved in things is to dive into it.
Joe Gibbs

Once you have a plan, you must sell it to the players. It is not enough to put it on the blackboard and say, 'Okay, here it is.' You have to convince the players that the plan is a good one and show them, in specific ways, why it will work. If you do, you send them out to the practice field with more confidence.

Each team's a little different, how they want to build a team. ... Certainly Pittsburgh is a scheme that works, they won a Super Bowl. If you watch their team, there are a lot of draft choices, they're real conscious about that. It remains to be seen how we'll end up doing, but we've chosen to be more aggressive in free agency.
Joe Gibbs
-
Right now, everybody is nervous. I would sure hate to see us go into free agency without (a new CBA) done. The other thing I'm hoping for is the date to be extended.
Joe Gibbs
-
You're hoping for a new CBA because it frees up a lot of money for all of us.
Joe Gibbs
-
For us it was just hard-fought, ... We fought hard all day and kept slugging. That's about all you can say from our side. I was proud of our guys, because they had great heart like that.
Joe Gibbs
-
We have a lot we need to improve on, ... We've got a long ways to go. Certainly, I don't think anybody here feels like we're satisfied with our passing game or our rushing game right now, so I think you try to do a good job of analyzing it. But certainly our work, and what we're concentrating on, are ways to get more production. I would say across the board we need to step it up. I don't think anyone is satisfied with what we're doing.
