After a victory like that it's great, but it's also sad because you think this is the team we could have been all season long and we could have played like this in other games. |
For one reason or another we just didn't get the breaks. Sometimes you have seasons like that. |
I know you can go from losing one season to celebrating at the podium. |
I mean, look at the statistics. He's proven that he can be a starting quarterback in the National Football League week in and week out and definitely a starter for us. |
I really didn't know if I was going to be able to play until right before the game, |
I think Kelly did an excellent job of not just managing the football game but making plays. He's a veteran guy. . . . There's not a blitz he hasn't seen, and he understands who to get the ball to in those situations. |
I thought Angelo did well considering he was thrown in there with no notice. The one thing about being a backup is you have to prepare like you're about to play. He does a great job of preparing, and (linebackers coach) Don Blackmon does a great job of preparing the backups like starters. |
I wasn't anywhere near 100 percent. Probably about 80 percent. Some of the plays that I'm normally able to make, from sideline to sideline, running and pursuing plays and getting after the quarterback, I wasn't able to do because of my limited ability. But I was able to do what I could do. It's something that I have to deal with until I get back to 100 percent. |
I would say he's the top outside linebacker playing in the game right now because he can do it all, |
It's a big blow for our defense. However, we will still play football on Sunday. Injuries happen all the time. We've got some other guys that have to take up the slack. |
It's amazing what one victory can do, |
It's amazing what one victory can do, ... I think we can build on this. But we still have a lot of work to do. |
It's been a crazy year, an emotional roller-coaster. |
It's better than having four straight losses. |
The last time I checked they didn't play the playoffs after three games. We're 1-2. OK, it is what it is. We get back to work, look at the tape, make corrections. You sit here and have a pity party for yourself, and it'll get real ugly real quick. |
