I said it to somebody in the spring, we didn't know if we were going to be able to throw the ball. We thought we might have to run every play. ... It wasn't Blake, it was the terminology and learning. |
I said, 'Wow, how perfectly poignant for us right now,' |
I saw James yesterday and he said it felt good. ... For a guy that has not played in a game, to be able to phase him in, even if it is 10 or 12 snaps, I think it will be a bonus for James and for us. |
I see him running in my sleep. If you forget you have to play against him, he's fun to watch because he plays the game the way it should be played. |
I still think we can be a good defense, |
I think we won a bunch of our games (over the years) for him on his birthday, so this one was for him, ... All he ever asked for was a win, and that's what we were able to do. |
I think you're seeing the fact that you've got to have a quarterback who's talented, who can throw the ball, and if he can run it, that adds another dimension, |
I thought Blake Powers was great tonight and how big of a game was that for him? |
I thought the key for us was that we made plays when we had to, |
I told the team that should give us all the confidence that what we've been doing works, ... So, we need to do it more and we need to do it better. |
I wanted execution on both sides of the ball. It wasn't necessarily horrible plays by the defense. I think it was just some really great throws and catches from the (first string) and the (second string). |
I was talking to the doctors and I just said for us to quit messing around with him and get him well so that he is not two steps forward and one step back, |
I was worried last week, but |
I would invite (skeptics) to go ahead and line up against these guys, |
I'd like to get to the point where, in a key spot, your quarterback turns to your running back and says, 'Should I go for it or not?' |
