Nobody played well. The problem when you're playing quarterback ... even if things go wrong around you, you're the last line of defense, and my mistakes compounded what was already happening yesterday. It was just an all-around bad day for everybody. |
Of course I want to make the decision harder on him, ... But the only way I can do that is by winning. If I throw for 300 yards and three touchdowns and we still lose, it won't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters. |
On fourth down, you have to go to a guy who can make a play for you. On fourth-and-17, what are the chances -- 5 percent? You go to the guy who has a chance to make a play -- go up and get it. |
Our offense isn't doing what it's supposed to be doing. A lot of different people not quite working together. |
So, my concern now is getting healthy. |
Sure. That's right. Because they don't come around that often. |
Tell me how I'd hear about it? ... Don't know. Don't want to know. Doesn't matter. |
That would make Lions' president Matt Millen look like a genius. For once in his life. |
That's what makes it one of the biggest openers we've had. |
The difference between teams that win and lose in this league is confidence. |
The offense has to pick it up. I don't know when we're going to take that step, ... I thought we took a step two weeks ago. Sooner or later, it's going to fall into place. |
The only thing it does affect is having him out here on the field, having him in the meeting room, and he was great. We worked well together. |
The pace of the game flowing down has everything to do with you being comfortable. My first two years here, we were playing musical receivers, rotating guys in and out of the lineup, guys getting hurt. It was a tough couple years as far as trying to build any sort of comfortable relationship with any of the players out there. |
There have been times the coaches have not believed in me, and there have been times the players didn't believe in me. But I never lost faith in myself. |
There have been times when the coaches didn't believe in me and times when the guys on the team didn't believe in me (but), I never lost faith in myself. I've been trying to get a job back. |
