There are no moral victories in the NFL. You win or you lose. We lost, but I've never been prouder to be part of a group of men than these guys. |
There are varying opinions as to whether you do a surgery on this and there are prevailing opinions that say no, that the strength is good. That's something he and the doctors will have to sort through. Obviously, if they decide that it would put him in additional risk long term and if surgery is required, then clearly that would do him for the rest of the season. |
There comes a point when it's just not prudent; too many bad things can happen, ... We have a plan to modify it if it gets that bad. |
There isn't a person in this organization that doesn't enjoy having Deion Sanders here and doesn't think he isn't a valued part of what we are trying to do. It's been a joy to have him here. Deion can still play, there's no question. But what he brings to the team, from a veteran perspective and an emotional standpoint, is of great value to us. |
There was tenderness, which was to be expected. There was some soreness. We decided collectively, with [trainer] Bill Tessendorf, myself and Jamal, that we should give it one more week. |
There's a reason why Bill Walsh never took a first-round quarterback: If you're going to crap shoot, don't do it in the first round. |
There's a wide variety of things we could do. The most operative question is, who would that be? We could target a lot of guys. |
There's always the potential via the rehab if it flares up again. That potential always exists. |
These are grown men, I can't lock them up and put them away 24-7. He had free time. Until we know exactly what happened -- there are legal liabilities here -- but anytime someone has free time they had better act responsibly. You can't do it any other way. |
They acted like out of control men, ... They acted like men who let the passion of the moment get away from them. |
They acted like out-of-control men, |
They all want different things out of the season, ... Jamal is no different in that regard. Is it altering the way he's approaching the game? Absolutely not. . . . He's too professional. He wants too much. He knows he's going to be here. |
They are two class individuals and I know they have a great affection for the people in Tennessee, for that organization, as they should, ... There is nothing like going home and being in a competitive atmosphere. |
They have a right to be disappointed in me and the way we've played, but I'm betting that our fans when we line up against the Jets are going to be rocking and rolling. We better give them something to be upbeat about. If we can deliver, I think we'll be off and running. |
They pulled clips from our last win here, and after the Denver game. We were excited to win those. Give us that. But anybody who listened to me all week long has heard me say nothing tasteless, nothing classless, and nothing disrespectful of the Titans. I didn't do it. |
