I was pleased with the consistency of our first-team offense. We went right down the field. But when you're sitting at the one on first-and-goal, you want to punch it in, so we're disappointed in that. |
I'll take all the credit for that. |
I'm proud of the way our team played today. We are coming off of three heartbreaking last-second losses in a row and we needed this win. We've gotten better and we have become stronger because we've handled the disappointment of those losses the right way. |
I'm sure that our offense is not real confident coming out of this game, but they'll recover. David was under duress a lot and I don't think our offensive performance was really what we were looking for out of our total offensive team. |
I'm very disappointed in the way we played tonight. The thing I was most disappointed in was basically the fundamentals of our team. |
I'm very discouraged about the way we played tonight. We came in with the right intentions, but our execution didn't match up with our intentions. |
I've always talked to my team about focusing on the things you can control. So I got this team ready to play as hard as they could today. |
I've known Nick for a very long time and have the utmost respect for the job he has done at every coaching position he has held. I appreciate the opportunity he has given me, and I'm looking forward to working with him and his staff in any way I can to help the organization achieve its goals. |
In the last month, there has been a lot of that sentiment, but when you are a coach or a player you never think of those things. |
It all begins with the takeaway/giveaway. Anytime you go four games and don't get a takeaway and you're minus-8, it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference what else you do. Statistics prove that it's awful hard to win when you don't get a takeaway. |
It helps, no question. I've been on the other side trying to prepare for the Dolphins. Your schemes are going to be built around knowing where Jason Taylor is located. |
It's been a tough year. You never want to have another year like this one. |
It's hard to think of anybody in the league that's quite like him right now. |
It's one of the tougher decisions we've had to make because you have such strong feelings about Billy and the kind of team guy he's been. We wish him well and hopefully he has an opportunity to catch on with another team. |
Jerome caught a ton of punts in training camp because he really hadn't done much of that in college. We kind of worked him overtime in that area during camp. |
