There's going to be great competition there at the punting spot. (Graham) has done a great job so far and now it's a matter of just transporting that on the field of play.
Buffalo came out and got hot early, ... They ran the ball very, very well in the first half. I thought in the second half we got some momentum and got back into the game, but they did a good job of rallying when we got back in the game.
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.
It's a performance-based business, and it's hard for a player to all of a sudden think that something he's buying over the counter could be banned and affect his ability to play and get the job done, ... It's up to the individual player to either say, 'You know what? I'm not doing it,' or 'I'm going to take a chance. If they test me, I won't be one of the guys that it shows up on.'
When I got the job here in New York, there were a couple guys who were supposed to be the favorites. You don't worry about that. If you get your day in court, you go in there and talk to them.
We have to have a different mind-set - that was established today in our meetings, ... I think our players took hold of it and did a good job of practicing. It was a pretty fast practice, guys moving around where they were supposed to go.
I thought Brooks did a great job of performing,
Opening day, I'm not shocked at anything. I've been around for 26 years of opening days, and a lot can happen. We didn't handle it very well. They did a better job of coaching, and they played better.
He was taking what they were giving him. He was slinging it really well. Jay also did a great job of not trying to force it too much.
We have to figure out how to protect these guys.
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 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.
