Whatever happens, and you kind of deal with the circumstances that you are dealt with. I think, at this point, that is the mindset that we have to have and we will deal with whatever decisions or other choices we have at that time. I am not going to waste any time thinking about that or talking about that. |
When we come here, there will be a lot of demands on many of these guys. (The goal) is to come here and prioritize things and try not to get out of the routine, and understand that Wednesday, Thursday, Friday is just like a regular game. |
When we drafted Hines we didn't envision this. He has turned out to be a special, special player. |
When you game plan, there are certain elements that you prepare for, certain things that you want to do. Certain plays will complement other plays, ... You're always going to have complementary plays that set up other plays. It's a pretty dramatic difference from that point. ... There's a lot more focus on what you're trying to do. |
When you get to this point in the season, there are not a lot of surprises. You have a couple of very good football teams that want to put together their best game plan, and then execute it in detail. There are usually three or four opportunities in any game to make the right play, and have an effect on the outcome. This game probably won't be any different. |
When you turn the football over four times and are minus-3 in the giveaway-takeaway ratio, you aren't going to win many football games, |
Whenever you turn the football over four times, you aren't going to win many football games. You have to credit Jacksonville for a great game. |
Where our record is, we recognize there's a responsibility that comes along with it. We have to bring our A game every week. We're not in a reflecting mode right now. We have to still look ahead and keep the blinders on a little bit. We beat a couple good football teams, but in terms of the big picture, [we haven't accomplished anything yet]. |
Why was he not in the game in the last series? ... That's a legitimate question ... I wish I would have gotten him in the game in the second half. |
Why, did he say something? No, we talk, but they are their own people. You know, we were all good on that Wednesday (before the Indy game), then he comes out on Thursday and does his thing. I mean, what are you going to do? He respects everyone. It's just that sometimes it doesn't come out right. |
Willie has the one thing that we never had -- speed. For a team that runs the football like we would like to run the football, to be able to have a big-play player back there is a bonus. He shows that ability to do that. |
Willie is going to start. |
Willie's done a good job. Willie's earned an opportunity he's been given, and I don't anticipate changing Willie. But certainly we'll have to sit down and see how the rest of the mix plays out. |
Willie's got the one thing we've never had - the speed. For a team that runs the football the way we want to run the football, to have a big-play player back there is a bonus. |
Willie's starting again next week, ... He's our starter. I've got to keep other guys involved and I'll attempt to do that, but Willie Parker's going nowhere. |
