My best friend in the NFL was the sideline. I was fast enough that I knew I could get there before anyone could catch me. You don't have that here. You run into a wall. |
On paper, it's a game of turnovers. Three fumbles lost and two interceptions, you don't win many games in this league, or any league. The real root of the problem is up front. We are not protecting the quarterback and we are not getting pressure on their quarterback. |
One thing we don't have to worry about with Joe is his toughness. If there is any way for him to do it, he'll play. |
Seder is a kicker we had our eyes on, |
Sure, it is still blocking and tackling and throwing and catching, all the typical skills of a football player. But it is an entirely different game, too. It is kind of like football in a concentrated form. |
The fans were great. What a great atmosphere. |
The No. 5 team with three games to go, it can't get any bigger unless it's the last game of the year. It's almost 'winner moves on, loser goes home' type of a deal. It's not quite that, it's not quite at that level, but it's as close as you can get. |
They are the defending champions for a reason. We put together a total team effort in a hostile environment. I am very pleased with the effort we put together out there tonight. |
This is a game tonight that we all thought that we should have. When we look at the film, there will be six or seven unbelievable things that keep happening. That kind of stuff happens to teams that don't have a lot of confidence. When things are going good, they are going good. Right now, they are not going good for us in any phase. |
We beat a good team tonight. And to beat them in that fashion is a real confidence builder for us and something we needed badly. |
We can't expect to have (Germaine) back this week. It's just two early, and it's too tender. It's going to take a lot of improvement in the next three days for him to be able to play ? but that could happen. |
We flat-out got pushed around tonight by a bigger, stronger team than us. |
We have been looking forward to this day, ... The talent in the AFL has improved dramatically from my first years in the league where now teams are deep enough that they can't protect everyone. On top of that, the free-agent market is loaded with players that have solid arena experience. We just held our first open tryout last month and hosted over 200 quality players. This is going to be fun, starting from scratch and building a competitive team. |

We still have a legitimate shot at going to the playoffs if we can get on a little run. Two teams will go to the playoffs from our division, so we still have a shot. |
