Ashley has had some great games, and Ashley has been very consistent throughout the preseason and camp. He didn't play one of his better games. He has to look at it, be tough on himself and get ready for the Chargers. |
Before this game, we had Paul out there kicking off, and he kicked four in one direction and four in the other direction, |
Both guys played extremely well. I was really happy with the young corners. |
Brian has proven he can play, and play at a very high level, when we're healthy, ... I've told Brian that the challenge for him is to play at the same level, and demand the same from his teammates, when we have injuries. That's what separates the good NFL quarterbacks from the great ones. |

But sometimes you feel the momentum change. Sometimes you need a spark. I don't do it very often. That's why I put him back in there and said, 'Hey, go get it done.' You have to make some tough decisions as a head coach. I'm glad he showed the poise to [bail] me out of that one. |
But we have seen some things about him that we really like. That's why we brought him here. |
But we've made mistakes before and we'll make mistakes in the future. We're going to do the best thing for our team. Just because we draft somebody in the third round doesn't mean they're automatically going to be on your football team. |
Champ has played very well for us. Obviously, Clinton played very well for us when he was here. Not only did we get Champ, but we got Tatum Bell as well. We feel good about it, and I'm sure they do as well. |
Champ's a great player and he made a big-time play when it counted. |
Coming out of college he was a zone running back. That was his style and we run a system very similar to the one he ran at Wisconsin. I think he fits our system a little better than the other system. |

Common sense says there's going to be a little bit of a letup (with a 28-3 lead). You try not to let it happen . . . you stop the momentum by getting third downs on offense, and we didn't do it. |
Darrent was in the end zone. For them to call it back was disappointing. I probably just cost myself $5,000. |
Every time he touches the ball, he's got a chance to go the distance, ... He's just one of those guys you've got to get everybody around him. |
