We did like his potential while we had him here. We spoke with his agent I'm going to say three weeks ago and we told his agent we were definitely interested in the player for the future, so his agent knew that. He was coming back anyway. |
We got out of the game pretty healthy, and we should be in good shape physically for San Diego, ... I'm starting to see some things I like. We got a lot of inexperience on defense ... we're going to do some dumb things. We did some dumb things tonight. |
We had a little problem there. We did, ... We need to improve our underneath coverage with our inside linebackers. That's one thing we need to do. We've got a lot of inexperience in there now. We've got a little problem here and there. We'll try to get it fixed. |
We had plenty of vets make mistakes yesterday, too, |
We had talked about Pile quite a bit a couple weeks ago, ... What we know about him is he's got pretty good range and he's very smart. |
We had to play better on defense in the second half. That was the whole key. |
We had too many balls on the ground. [We'll] look at this guy for a couple of days, see what happens. |
We had two false starts, two penalties on the offensive line and four sacks. That's enough to stop some drives right there. We just got physically beat up. |
We have a lot of history together and it's all been good, ... I have a high regard for Tom, everyone knows that. He's a great competitor. We're on opposite sides of the fence right now, but that doesn't have anything to do with how I feel about him personally or how I think he feels about me. |
We have a lot of work to do. We have a lot of work to do. I couldn't enumerate all of the things that I didn't like. |
We have to get him back out there and try to give him another chance to see what he can do, ... The fact of the matter is this: If you can't participate, I can't get any evidence that you're capable. |
We have to learn how to close it out and we didn't do that. This is a big disappointment. You think you have the game in hand. But that's the way the National Football League is. You have to finish it and we didn't finish it tonight. |
We just had to do something. He just couldn't make them in practice either. We just couldn't live with the way it was. |
We just let them overpower us a couple of times. Their defense played well. We did not really block them that well. |
We just seemed to not be on edge in light of what happened today (in Philadelphia). We prepared well this week, and we were perky in practice. I just think they couldn't get it up when they had to tonight. |
