We don't anticipate playing our starting players for long. The two major keys to this game is to complete the evaluation process and to get our team to the opener healthy. |
We don't ever feel like we want to go into a draft and, particularly early in the draft, go after need. I think that's something you look at more on the second day, if you haven't been able to have it line up the way you'd like it to the first day. |
We don't have any say-so over the schedule. This was certainly the best team we've seen in a while. |
We had a series of events in that third quarter that turned a real good game into a game they pulled away from. |
We had to have a defensive stop. We were one play away from getting the ball back. |
We said we think he has some special abilities and we are going to utilize them. I would say expect anything from us. That is how we are going to approach it. |
We see him as a guy who's played well, has started, so he has experience, has speed and can help us on (special) teams. We'll let him grow into a role. |
We think this draft is deeper than 27 players. We think we can get a good and talented player there, who can come in and help us. |
We try to add as many good football players as we can, coach them up to play to the best of their ability and give us a better chance to compete. |
We want to win any game we compete in. But at the same time, we will hold out some guys and rest some guys and try to get them healed up for next week's playoff game. We'll be smart about how much we play certain people. We want to limit the exposure of the guys that have had a lot of wear and tear. |
We were at a disadvantage in the first half. I'm not going to stand here and say that was a reason we didn't play well. |
We would have liked to have had a much better showing in front of the nation. Fortunately this was a preseason game, and we have time to work on some of our mistakes. |
We'll be in teal the rest of the year. I just thought that a team coming out of the Northwest, why not put them in their dark uniforms? |
We're a good football team. We're capable of beating anybody when we're playing good football. |
We're going to keep him out this week, then hopefully get him back as quick as we can, ... This is not a season-ending injury by any means. |
