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.
coming great guy played season
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.
anybody believe chad feels five games last mental played praying pulling six torn toughness unique
If anybody can do it, I believe Chad can do it because of his mental toughness and what he feels he has to prove. He's a unique individual, he really is. I mean, he played with that thing torn up those last five or six games (in 2004) and we made the playoffs. If anybody can do it, Chad can do it. I'm pulling for him and I'm praying for him.
handle job opening played shocked
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.
asking bit bounce football hard played season since
He has not played a lot of football since the season was over with, and it's a little bit of a new offense, asking to do some things a little different. One thing about Chad, he's very, very hard on himself, and he'll bounce back.
played practiced
He hadn't played and hadn't practiced a lot.
games good guy played veteran
I just think for us right now, 13 games left, he's a good guy to have, a veteran guy who's played a lot,
deal everybody last played supposed
He's right where he's supposed to be. Everybody made a big deal of how he played last week. It wasn't his arm. It was his decision-making.
bother continues guy kicked kicks outdoor played pressure talking tough watch weather
If you watch his career, he has been a guy that has played in a lot of big games. He kicked a lot of tough kicks in pressure situations. He's an outdoor guy. The weather doesn't bother him. If he continues to do what he did in college, you're talking about a guy that can be here for 10 years-plus.
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.
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.
