Bobby came to us with some baggage, but he's ours now and we're glad to have him. He's a good route runner and has incredibly soft hands, much softer than I realized. |
Bottom line is we didn't win. I think we come out of this game with a lot of positives that we found out about our football team. But, we have to continue to get better. |
Chad is doing a lot of things differently. He's smarter and seeing the field better. |
Every game has been a learning process for us. Hopefully, we'll win enough games to get to (the playoffs) because we're going to play our best football at the end of the season. |
I don't know if we pushed someone in the back or not. I'd like to see who wasn't holding on that play. ... It's a very unpopular way to lose a football game. |
I don't like the fact that we are 0-1, but I think we found out we have a good football team today. They are the defending champs and a very good football team. |
I don't look at the second half as easier. Every team is a challenge. Grand Rapids might be the most improved team in the league. |
I thought he did some tremendous things. I thought he did some poor things. He has a lot of room to grow. |
I went for the kick instead of two points because I felt their team was tiring. |
It was a game we should have won, but they made the plays and we didn't. |
It was a tough decision but something we felt had to be done because kicking is so important in this game. We will all miss Keith. He is a true professional and always conducted himself that way. It wasn't personal. We would have kept him if there wasn't another kicker out there, but there was. |
It's to our advantage. It's about the time we're finishing up our daily practices. |
Matt has done everything a quarterback needs to do to prepare. He earned the job. |
My family and I are excited to be staying in Chicago through the 2009 season. Thanks to the passion and commitment of my staff, players and the entire Rush organization over the past six years, we have been able to build a team we all can be proud of. |
Nashville went on a big run last year and Arizona the year before that, so I see no reason why we can't be that team this year, especially knowing the makeup of our players. They're a never-give-up bunch who have suffered through some close losses. |
