best kidding line player shotgun throw
I used to be a player and I know that feeling. I could see it on their faces. You do what's best for the team. I'm not going to put the quarterback in harm's way and let him go back there and line up in shotgun and look all pretty and try to throw passes. You'd get him killed. Are you kidding me? For what? It's ridiculous.
act best class follow heart provided seasons solid three
We wanted Donnie to follow his heart and this is best for him and his family. He provided us with three solid seasons and he's a class act on and off the field.
best coach felt great job opportunity wish
Obviously, he had some opportunities. But he felt his best opportunity right now as a coach was to go to Washington. I wish him a lot of luck. He's done a great job here with our offense.
actuality best both looks might move parties people player talked
It sounded like it was swift, but really in actuality it was talked about probably before that. People had anticipated something like that might happen. I think sometimes it looks that way, but sometimes that's best for the organization and the player so both parties can move on.
best looking players
We did it looking at what was best for the players and best for the team.
best errors good james knows mental playing seemed stamina starter three
His stamina is the best it's ever been. I think it's more consistent. He's not making mental errors and he's just playing hard. Before, James seemed good for about two or three plays, but now I think he knows that he's the starter and he's the guy.
best coming guys home regardless sitting
He was the best guy, regardless of if he was sitting at home on the couch. When you look at all the other guys who were coming in here, he was the best guy.
best chance gave needed win
He gave us the best chance to do what we needed to do to win the game. I had reservations, but he was able to go in and do some things.
figure protect
We have to figure out how to protect these guys.
again ball defense five send turned turning
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.
came deal excited monday remember special
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.
ball behind close game good played ran running runs sign
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.
fit
We're going to try to fit him with a brace and see where he's at.
asked games glad guy handled happen players position respect win won
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.
