I think Mike (Vick) looked OK today. I don't think he was 100 percent, but Mike is such a great competitor that if somebody challenges him, whether it's the media or a player from another team taking a shot at him like we had on the first drive (two roughing the passer penalties), I think that gets him going a little bit. |
I think the fact that two of our assistant coaches have already been approached as possible coordinators says a lot about the quality of our coaching staff. I just hope I can keep these guys around. |
I think the players believe that I'm in the boat with them, and whatever I ask them to do, I'm going to demand of myself and my coaches. My dad was that way. |
I think the way we handle this win is almost as important as the victory itself, |
I think the way we handled this win, ... is almost as important as the victory itself. This is a mature team, and they know what's ahead. I think they understand that what we have to do now is go out and validate this victory. |
I think we can fix that one much easier with our personality and personnel. |
I think we ran into a Carolina team that was determined today. I don't think we played well at all, but I don't think that there was a guy out there that quit. |
I think we ran into a Carolina team that was determined today. Not a lot went right for us. We feel bad about not getting rid of that 40-year problem. |
I thought it was a really good team effort. We ran the ball efficiently. We threw the ball efficiently. |
I want to finish here. Not too soon, mind you. I want it to be down the road a little bit. |
I want to talk to Keith and talk to Ike, and then we'll decide and we'll go forward. |
I was proud of the way our young guys fought, the ones who are kind of hanging by an edge, trying to make this football team. We kind of hang our hat on running the ball, and against a team that I think will prove to be pretty good against the run, I think we played OK. |
I was very discouraged yesterday coming off the field, as you can imagine, with our run game. After looking at the film [three times] I'm not as discouraged. I see promise. I see hope. |
I will definitely hire a QB coach. I have talked to a number of possible candidates and will be bringing in people to interview starting next week. |
I wouldn't say we let down our fans, but we wanted to go 9-7 and get rid of that 40-year problems we've had. We didn't get that done. |
