The plan right now is for Brooks to be the starter. You've got to let the poor guy play, see what he can do.
I thought Brooks did a great job of performing,
I thought Brooks did a good job, for the most part. When he throws the ball our receivers have to catch it. We have to do a lot of things better on offense if we're going to give ourselves a chance.
There are a lot of ways you can do that, and that's why I'm not saying, ... I don't want to say anything at this point.
There are 13 games left, ... We have to have a little spirit, and we have to go play.
We knew it wasn't going to be pretty at times,
We knew going in the only way he was going to get ready to play was he had to play. When you're dealing with something like that, did we think he was going to be 100 percent? No. But he had to throw the ball. He wanted to do it. We thought we brought him along right.
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.
You feel bad, you really do. Makes your stomach hurt. You never know why. You try to sit and try to figure out why. You can't figure out why. Just part of the game, I guess.
Every time he steps underneath the center as a young quarterback, he's going to experience some things. Obviously, this is one he doesn't like, this one the team doesn't like. It's a maturing process for him. He'll grow from it. We'll all grow from it.
At this point, it's 2006, and we got our first win of 2006. It's something to kind of laugh about, but it's important for us to point this organization in the right way. ... Like I have said many times, it's not a condition; it was just a season. It's over for us.
