[Harrington, expected to return to practice on Monday, was shaken by Garcia's injury.] I feel terrible for the guy. I'm frustrated as a teammate and a friend, ... I just hope he's feeling better soon. |
[In addition to a healthy Charles Rogers, first-round picks Roy Williams and Kevin Jones made immediate impressions.] Now we've got talent, ... There is so much young talent on that field, I'm obviously expecting great things. |
[Unsure of himself as a rookie starter, Harrington seems far more relaxed this year and is helped by the similarities in his former and current coaches' West Coast sets. Though he was sacked only eight times in 12 starts last year, Harrington struggled with his progressions, often throwing the ball away before even looking for his third option. He had a paltry .501 completion percentage.] At this time last year my head was swimming, ... There were times I had no idea what the play I was calling needed. It's hard to be accurate when you don't know where you're throwing. I feel better now, especially with the guys I have around me. |
A big part of me wants to stay and right what we started, but there's another part that wants to go somewhere else and get a fresh start. Two months ago, the consensus was I should have been on the first thing smoking coming out of town. |
A lot of people wanted to make it out as a butting heads of a battle, and it's been nothing of the sort. He's been incredible and more helpful than I would have thought. I feel terrible for him. |
As far as taking shots when they are available ? if they are available in the first preseason game, if they're available on the first play of the game ? we're going to take them. It's an opportunistic thing as opposed to a focus. We have three healthy, big targets right now, and that helps. |
As much potential as we have in our receiving corps, ... we still have a lot of growing to do. |

Blunt. He was the same way everybody was. He came in. He said, 'We all got beat, and nobody in this locker room can point a finger at anybody else.' And that's what everybody in the room believed. |
break my hand on a locker or kick the drywall. |
Charles is the speed guy, the smaller of the three if you can call him that, |
Dan's going to have to prepare like he's the guy now. He's been doing a great job in training camp, but now he's one snap away from being our quarterback. |
Everybody on this team should be playing for pride. Everybody on this team should be playing because they're professionals. If you can't get up for that and need the motivation to be the spoiler, so be it. |
Everything went wrong, ... We made mistakes on things that we have been doing correctly all season. It turned into one of those games where we just couldn't do anything right. |
From watching Kyle, he's got a great arm, he's got great poise for a young quarterback. He's going to be a great player in this league. But things happen so quickly. |
