I think they realized what type of football team we are, |
I think they're one of the best, and they've kept their guys together. They have a corps of (very good special teams players). |
I think we have to finish off some blocks. We're close, but instead of making 1 or 2 yards, if you finish some things off, you make 4 or 5. All of a sudden, it keeps you out of third and long. |
I think what's going to help him, he's in with the first group, ... That's always settling for a quarterback, rather than playing with some guys that were probably some good high school, college players, and won't make your team. He had to do that for three years, survived it. Now he's going in with our first group. |
I thought Brooks did a good job, for the most part. When he throws the ball our receivers have to catch it. We have to do a lot of things better on offense if we're going to give ourselves a chance. |
I thought Brooks did a great job of performing, |
I thought he stepped up in the pocket and made some good throws. He moved around, he was much more animated. He can make the chains move. |
I told Dinger, 'Let him throw,' ... I wanted to see him throw. |
I used to be a player and I know that feeling. I could see it on their faces. You do what's best for the team. I'm not going to put the quarterback in harm's way and let him go back there and line up in shotgun and look all pretty and try to throw passes. You'd get him killed. Are you kidding me? For what? It's ridiculous. |
I wasn't going to put that quarterback in harm's way any longer, |
I wish we could have made more of a game of it, but it wasn't. They took us behind the woodshed and whupped us. |
I'll know more probably (Tuesday) on the status of both guys. At this point, I'm preparing Brooks Bollinger to be our starting quarterback. |
I'll let the quarterback leave the game with some dignity, ... I know how he felt. I know how the team felt. I used to be a player. I'm not going to put the quarterback in harm's way, go back out there, line up in the shotgun, try to throw passes and get him killed. |
I'm disappointed in the whole team, ... We didn't play the way we're capable of playing. We didn't play one of our better games. We had some opportunities and we didn't take advantage of them. |
I'm going to be here, as far as I'm concerned. At this point right today, I'm going to be here. |
