It's exciting to me, ... because we're getting back some high quality players that have been missing for a while.
It's a situation where it's tough for Tom and tough for us, ... We think the world of him.
It's a short work week, so Wednesday is a big day for us because we only get two work days, really. We're going hard and we're going late.
It was smart on his part, but it still took guts. I kind of admire him for doing that.
It was a tough deal for us for him to get hurt. So what we're going to try to do is make the best decision.
I want to say a big thanks to our fans for all they did for us to get here. I feel humbled and really thankful. The Lord has blessed us with a great bunch of guys.
It will allow me to focus on things where I can help the football team. It's tough when you're in meetings and the coaches are waiting on you. I can already see that we're farther down the road on some things by doing what we're doing.
It keeps agitating and worrying us there, ... They're trying to get it to calm down.
I told Patrick that the decisions we've made, it should be pretty obvious, are based on the fact that we think a whole lot of him, ... We think he's got a tremendous future with us.
I told our players I couldn't be prouder of them. We fought extremely hard all year. I really appreciate them taking me with them.
It's a real concern, ... It's a problem. We've got to get it corrected because you won't win games up here turning the ball over and I'd still say those are two areas where we have not showed the kind of improvement I'd like -- turning the ball over and penalties. So it's something for a real focus from now until game time. In the regular season, we've got to try to find something to fix it.
It's a huge deal anytime you get in the playoffs. We showed guts and determination. I feel humbled and really thankful to get in. It was a hard-fought game and I was just thrilled to get out on the right end of it.
The problem with signing our guys right now, almost none of the agents want to sign right now. They are afraid now if they go out and do a deal, they are going to get criticized for it.
We'd had three tough losses in a row and everybody was down. I think our players said to themselves: 'Our backs are up against the wall and we've got no other option other than just to win, and if we lose another game we're probably out.' So they kind of took it as this last stand, and it was that way every week . . .somehow we found a way to win those last five.
