The bottom line is they did a good job of denying our play. Guys were trying to do what they could to get open. ... I heard him say 1-1,000, but I think he forgot the other four.
I've never been part of a situation like that -- and I'm sure I've never heard anybody in professional sports make a comment so negative that early in the season,
