So back then, in August, it was decided that we'd get to the bye, and we'd just go in there, and look at all the arteries. |
That was the key going in. We knew we were going to bleed. That's a good (Colts) attack. That's probably as good as you're going to find in the National Football League with their skilled receivers, the running back and the quarterback. So the ability not to give up the big play was huge. |
That's the best way to do it. Catch the ball and get up the field. |
That's what presidents do, they identify who is and who isn't. We hold our players responsible and accountable and I'm being held accountable, too. |
The guys played with a lot of passion. They practiced well the last four weeks and had nothing to show for it. I'm proud that they got this win. |
The team is his concern. His health is our No. 1 concern. |
There are some things that Dexter does better than him; there are some things he does better than Coakley. He's been in the system two years, he's played quite a bit and he'll be prepared. |
There is no question. It's a point of pride for the players, for the coaches, for our families. When a man's butt hits the ground, a man better get back up again. We were kicked down last week, and we've got to rise. |
There were a lot of guys battling. If I had coached the game better, I'd have put ourselves in better position to win. |
This is not a dink and dunk offense when he drops back. He has a strong arm and good vision. |
This is something this week that we're going to have to address. You've got to keep your best players on the field. |
This is the last week, with nothing to play for and we worked a lot of extra hours to try to scheme Dallas a little bit. Our players bought into it. I am very proud of them. We talked earlier in the week. You are putting your resume out there. We are playing the last game of the season, national televised game, we didn't know whether Dallas would be playing for a playoff spot or not. |
This was a great win for our football team. The emotion that the guys played with, and the passion, and the character, is just unbelievable. Every player and every coach on our staff got a game ball. What else can you say? |
Very disappointing. Very, very disappointing. |
We came out of the blocks smoking. Then Marc got hurt, (we) had a few turnovers, let them have a couple of third-down conversions. |
