Thank you for all the hard work that you have done, ... I have seen the salary sheets so I know that you guys are not doing it for the money. I truly do appreciate that. |
The most important thing for our success is to keep the quarterback clean, because we know what our bread and butter is. |
The older guys are trying to get the younger guys to understand you're going to have bad games. But there's always something you can learn from it. |
The reason why we're doing this (resting starters, etc.) is to make the overall team better. But you still want that swagger back. You want that feeling back. I think we can accomplish that with the guys who are going to play, but it's still fun to have the guys you always play with, and get that groove back. |
They did the whole Derrick Thomas tribute and had the airplanes flying over the stadium, |
This has been a humbling experience, to lose a game the way we lost it. It just gives us a sense of urgency and a wake-up call. |
We've got the energy and the fire back now. Everybody's healthy now. We've got a lot of fresh legs because of our time off. We're excited about getting back out there and playing Colts football. |
We've gotten better every week and I think [this] will be our breakout week for our offense, showing what we can do. |
What we need is a win. Our team wants to get better each week and a lot of times when you get young guys in there, you can lose focus. That's one thing coach Dungy preaches, staying focused. |

Whenever we run the ball that gives us an aggressiveness. It gets those safeties really interested in what's going on up front. If we can (draw) those guys up, our receivers are going to have a field day out there. |
You never can place the loss on one person. In this game, we definitely didn't lose it because of (Manning). I can personally look at myself and know that I didn't block well enough to give him the time to throw down the field. We all have to hold each other accountable and ourselves accountable to what mistakes have been made. |
