It really is about how you play, how you interact with one another, the things you overcome. The final score is always important. These are competitive guys. But is it the most important thing? Quite frankly, no. |
It was a great day to be a part of, to watch history, to watch that young man do what he did. We put it on his shoulders all week. |
It was just a real solid win for us. Under those circumstances, all you can really ask a group to do is step up to the challenges it has and play a team that is shooting for the playoffs, and I'm very proud to be a part of a group like this. |
It was like Babe Ruth pointing to the fence before the home run. |
It was the right thing to do. It gives him the maximum rehab time, multiple opinions. He sought them all, we sought them all. It was great that we were able to come to a resolution. I'm sure he's comfortable with it. |
It wasn't for lack of shots, ... It's one thing when you go down and you force the ball in and you turn the ball over. We've done that. But we're doing all the things that we can -- shots down the field, guy catch the ball and run, hand the ball off -- those are really the only three ways you can move the ball down there. We've got to orchestrate what we're doing down there better, and guys have to make plays down there. |
It would be the same as if the trainer came in and said Jamal has pulled whatever and it's going to be a week, two weeks or three weeks before he comes back. |
It's a different pull. This is much lower. [Doctors] are still determining whether it's related or not, and how severe it might be. |
It's a sad scenario you see over and over again. The kid is going to be here, make no mistake. In no uncertain terms, it's hurting this football team. Anybody who wants to justify it the other way is mistaken. |
It's always devastating to lose, |
It's always devastating when you lose, |
It's always more severe than it sounds. We'll have to see on the toe. |
It's another game, another set of data to draw from. This one is obviously very positive; that's why it's important he follows it up with another one. |
It's finally nice to have a game where everything goes your way. It was one of those nights where everything was going to work for us. |
It's huge, but you gain some things when you lose a player of that caliber. There are people that have to step up; we did it in 2002, we have this year. We'd prefer not to go through it, but we'll focus on the things we've been able to do with Ray Lewis and the people we have out there, and we'll get a much better idea of what their abilities are. |
