Obviously it's one game. You have to take a look at yourself and say, 'Did you play up to your expectations and if not why? Why didn't we perform?' We have to look at it and learn from it and move on.
Obviously it's not what you anticipated going into the season. It would be good to get a win at home.
Obviously those players aren't trying to do it on purpose, ... but those mistakes hurt you.
Obviously they're still talking. We'll see where it's at.
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.
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.
I've played that position. You get 10 interceptions in one season, that's pretty good. He had a great season for a guy coming off an injury.
It would be the first time he didn't show up for one since I've been here. The one thing about Curtis Martin, if he doesn't think he can help the football team, he won't do it. If he thinks he can help the football team then he will play.
It would've been a good win for all of us, because we could use one of those right now,
I've been in the league since the 1970s, or for parts of the past four decades. There's always going to be those guys that want a little extra or need a little extra and are trying to cut corners. They generally feel that they need to enhance their play. It's a never-ending battle. But that's just part of our society.
