coach happen hope lose situation tests wish
It's tough, ... I've never been in a situation where you lose your one and two quarterbacks. . . . I hope this doesn't happen to any coach ever, ever, ever. It isn't a lot of fun. I don't wish this on any coach. It tests your faith.
ability affect banned buying counter either guys hard individual job player shows sudden test
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.'
hide tests
I'm not listing his as anything yet because I don't know what the tests are. Once I know, I'll let everyone know. I don't hide injuries.
soon tests
I'm not listing him as anything right now because I don't know what the tests are. I'm not a doctor. As soon as I know, I'll let you know.
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.
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.
football help since team thinks time
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.
good win
It would've been a good win for all of us, because we could use one of those right now,
cut enhance extra four generally guys league parts past since trying
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.
