I think it would be best for us to start Mark.
I thought Mark looked real good on Friday. But hopefully he'll be able to take more work this week. We'll need to start this game off absolutely sharp, playing against Tampa. They have one of the best defenses in the league.
Most of the quarterbacks I've dealt with when they're young have had setbacks,
Patrick stepped in there and did a heck of a job. And I don't know if you can say enough about Santana.
Patrick is going to see that he made some real good things. He hit some deep balls and made some key plays for us, and that's partly what I'm referring to. And then he turned the ball over. We can't do that and Patrick knows that.
Pass protection didn't look good, and we looked sluggish. Anytime you don't do well it's a concern, but it is the first time out and we had a lot of people in there.
Part of playing the game of life is you're going to have some losses.
That concerns me a lot, ... When we don't play smart football, that really concerns you.
That was a tough assignment there. That kind of tells you the reason why people fight so hard for home-field advantage. That was a tough environment today, and that's the way it's supposed to be.
That was the most congenial conversation I think I've ever had with anybody. What I was saying to him there was, 'I think you can help the football team' - that's when my finger came out. I said, 'Look, you can help this football team. You can rush the punter.' But I was also telling him, 'Now, this is what you need to do in order to do that.
That was the first time we got manhandled by somebody in the regular season. Our guys just took it upon themselves. They knew what needed to be done and they knew they needed to play hard.
That was FedEx Field the way I sure remember it, ... We needed everything we could get today to win this game.'
That was FedEx Field the way I remember it. I really appreciate it and I want to say thanks to the fans. It was a big deal. We needed everything we could get today to win this game.
That's very important for us. We need to hit some of those guys. We put a lot of emphasis on who will still be there at (Rounds) 5, 6 and 7.
