You could have the best quarterback in the world, the best running back in the world. If you don't have a solid offensive line, you can't do anything. In building a team, you better understand that. This group is the best I've had the privilege of being around. |
You don't expect to get a player of this caliber this way. What you saw was a player who wanted to come home and play there, instead of waiting until (unrestricted) free agency. It would have happened, but we got him a year early. |
You don't want to get hurt against a team like this because they throw the ball so well, ... Our guys rallied. |

You give them the keys to the car and let them drive it. |
You have to coach that. You have to be careful about that. As much as you concentrate on Michael Vick as an athlete and what he can do, I think defensively you must always start with stopping the run. You have to start there, and I don't think our defensive coaches are starting anyplace else. |

You have to win a game like this, ... It was important for us to win a game like this. You go in and everyone is talking about it all week of what a lopsided game it could be. ... In the past, we might have let this one slip away, but this is a different team and a different season. |
You hope replay would help, if everything would function properly. And I would say 99% of the time it does, it works. |
You know a lot of the game plan, he's going to touch the football. And now, you don't have him. So, there was a reaction. Then, you snap out of it, and you get going. |
You know what? We've been down that path before a couple of years ago with him, |
