[Although the 1,315 yards he produced in 2004 would satisfy many NFL runners, the total disappointed Portis, who failed to post a third straight 1,500-yard season, scored only five rushing touchdowns, and finished with career lows in most major categories.] Everything wasn't as peaches and cream as it was where he left [Denver], ... I'm pretty sure just having that under his belt now he knows what to expect. |
[Cultivating that diversity in the passing attack was mandatory. Moss entered the game with more than twice as many receiving yards as anyone else on the roster, catching 10 balls of 30 yards or more in the first six games, equaling Washington's entire output from 2004. But as the weeks went by, the Redskins knew those plays might dry up.] You have to know what teams are going to give you, ... and you can't just sit back and beat them with the Hawaiian punch every week. |
[Knight made] a terrific play, ... They had a cover-2 [defense]. I was hoping [Knight] bit on it. I had my hands up and I thought I was going to catch it, but he just tipped it. I just know we've got to keep pushing. One thing I see [on this team] is a lot of guys who don't give up. We just have to keep our heads up and we'll be all right. |
Every week that we've seen one of those (misfired) plays we've tried to correct ourselves and get a better timing. I think the feeling was a little better as we got on to the later weeks of the preseason. Hopefully, we're on the same scene, and if not we've got plenty of time to just keep progressing. |
Everything this year has been so great. People ask why things happen to them. Things in life happen for a reason. Everyone on this team, including me, has been blessed. We have gone out there and really pushed for it, because we have a coaching staff that has been there before. |

He looks funny to me. He's out there playing and that's all we care about. There're a lot of guys playing with a lot of things, and he's a guy who got it done all year. So I never question anything when I see that guy on the field because he's out there for us. |
He put a good kick on the ball. |
He's a funny guy and he plays good football. That's the way he expresses himself. If he didn't do it, you wouldn't know the other side of Clinton. That's him. And no other guy can be him. |
He's got some good wheels on him. I know he's a lot faster than he was before. |
I always like to make the critics scratch their heads. |
I could have at least got that quote on a T-shirt. |
I didn't realize how big this game was, |
I felt like sometimes, me practicing as hard as I was practicing and preparing myself to get out there to make it to that Sunday game, and then I wasn't appreciated. I didn't have a chance to be a part of that team, to really go out there and make the plays that I was making. |
