I'd be surprised if they did anything other than just play their defense as well as they can play it. |
I'd rather err on the side of playing him too little than playing him too much. I just don't want it to get tweaked again because he's too important to us. |
I'd say that we are in search of, to some degree, a fifth wide receiver. I think there are some candidates on our team that we would feel comfortable with. |
I'm a passionate guy. I'm passionate about winning, about my family, my friends, the Atlanta Falcons and about us being the best. Sometimes passion spills over into emotion, and it wasn't as big an incident as it has been portrayed to be. I have apologized to anyone I had offended and vowed that I will manage my emotions much better. |
I'm excited where this team is going because I see the potential to get better, ... It's never perfect in the NFL. Sometimes it's not pretty. But the bottom line is we got the win. |

I'm not saying he's another Walter Payton, but they're a lot alike, |
I'm not saying he's another Walter Payton, but they're a lot alike, ... Walter Payton never took any big hits. He knew how to twist his body at the moment of impact to avoid the big hit. |
I'm proud of the way the young guys fought, especially those hanging on the edge. I was very impressed with the way we ran the ball. |
I'm upbeat about this football team, I'm upbeat about this organization. We're putting together a culture here in Atlanta that will prove to be a winning culture for many, many years. |
I've got to believe Mike will make progress, ... We'll see. We should have a good feel Wednesday. |
I've got to believe Mike will make progress. We'll see if that's enough, in my opinion, to play him. |
I've had one run-in with a reporter in Atlanta, and we later came to an understanding, but I try not to ever do that. I treat the media with a lot of respect. I take the position that a big part of my job is to help the media do their job, so they can represent what we're all about to our fans. How else are they going to get accurate information, unless I give it to them? |
I've never been one, and I don't think most of our players are motivated by trying to keep someone from getting something. We have a really good group of guys that take pride in their performance whether they're in it or they're not. This is a division game against a team that beat us pretty badly earlier in the year and there's always some motivation there. If we weren't a team that had the type of high character individuals on it that I think we do, then there would be cause for concern. I think we'll give it our best shot. |
I've only been here for three games that he hasn't started, and we're 0-3 in them. |
