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. |
I'm happy to be the coach here and I'm going to be the coach here, like I said before, and that's as far as I want to comment on it. |
I'm hoping I'm smart enough to realize that when players come late that you have to handle them a certain way. Hopefully, I've been here long enough where I understand where he's at, sit down and visit with him, say this is the plan for you and work at it that way. |
I'm in here five or six hours a day trying to get back as fast as I can. I want to play. I want to show people around here what I can do. |
I'm no longer with the Jets. I don't want to answer anything for the Jets. They have to do what they have to do. |
I'm not going to bring anyone in here who's going to distract the football team and not give us a chance to win the championship. That's where it stands. I haven't talked to him. |
