I think we all realized what was at stake. We had talked about it all week, the big ballgame for us and for them there was a lot at stake. There was a lot riding on it and we didn't play well. I think we take a long hard look at ourselves, and it certainly starts with me.
I will be honest and say that I've never seen a schedule I like.
I will say this, we don't listen to him all the time or we'd be out here in our underwear.
He responded. He looked like he made plays. That was good for us and it was good for him.
He's got more or less a defect there that sometimes gives him problems.
He's been seasoned, ... Hopefully we've got a young guy who's on the come.
He's been real consistent with his play since we started back this year, ... He's been confident and sure. ... What I'm looking towards is somebody to really establish themselves as a quarterback, take over and take off with the football team.
He's got tons of experience, and he's a very good holder. We felt like it was somebody we need to look at.
His role hasn't changed. He's an important part of what we do. The last week or two we haven't been very successful on offense. He's a big part of what we do, and he's in every pass play, and we'd like to get him the ball as much as we can.
He's good at that, ... But I can tell. I'm around him a lot. I couldn't even explain it. But I can feel it. He definitely wants to produce. It's not like he's getting any younger. The time to do it is now.
He's been very, very competitive. Some people are born to be accountants and lawyers. Some are born to be quarterbacks. And he was. He's very tough. We gave him an award this week for being tough. He's a tremendous competitor.
He's frustrated with the situation over the last couple years.
Well, you certainly have to give them a lot of the credit. Let's put it that way.
We looked at everything that happened in the preseason, ... and let all of our players look at it and try to learn from it. We're taking a different approach on some of those things now in practice, and, film-wise, we're trying to put a real emphasis on penalties. And somehow we've got to get it across to ourselves on the turnovers, too, because that just kills you.
