We turned the ball over five times. That's one (reason). Two, I wasn't going to put that quarterback in harm's way any longer. Three, I wasn't going to send out our defense again by turning the ball over. That's my decision. That's what you do for your team.
When it first got started it was really the thing to be on if you were a player. I can remember when I first came in; you were excited about Monday night. It was a special deal and I think it still is.
We got outcoached and outplayed. Put it on me.
We got our running game going a little bit, so that's a good sign for us. We ran the ball pretty good. Curtis had a really good day. He made some big runs for us, but we got behind and played that way. We could never close the gap.
We're going to try to fit him with a brace and see where he's at.
We're very glad we have him. He's a guy that's won a lot of games in this league. Players respect him because of what he's done, how he's come in here and handled the position we've asked him to take. Obviously, if something should happen (to Pennington) we feel like he can go in the game and play and win for us.
We all anticipate him coming back. When he's going to come back, at this point in time, it's not up to us. It's up to the doctors. It's no different than it was last year. He's on a program. To say he's going to be back when, when he's going to be throwing full-range, all that stuff, at this point I have no idea.
Curtis understands that he's going to be back here, (but) there's going to be open competition (for the starting position). Obviously, Curtis Martin will have a role on this team.
Curtis is a unique guy. He's always been that way.
And when guys don't play as well as they anticipate, they generally come back the next week and play better.
Turned the ball over five times in a row, that's one, OK?
We wanted the shotgun and it was on the ground. I said that from the beginning. You do the shotgun, which is great as long as it does not go on the ground.
We've had opportunities late in games this season, but we haven't been able to quite get it done. We have to get better on the road. We have two home games left. We can win those and give us some momentum.
Well, I don't know if he struggles. I think at times if we don't clearly pick up the protection or if we can't beat the guy that is guarding us. ... Sometimes they got a good player guarding us and they make the play.
