Sometimes just getting out of the pocket and getting rid of the ball can be the biggest play of the game. As I've said many times, a quarterback's biggest play is when it's not there. Everyone is going to hit it when it's there. When it's not there, what do you do with it?
You and I are the players, God's our head coach, and we're all playing the biggest game of all.
Here is one of the biggest games I've ever been at, and Patrick Ramsey has to go in and try and win it for us. He's handled this situation better than I think anybody could, and it's a tribute to his character. He was ready. He stepped in and made some plays for us.
It's probably one of our biggest concerns, with his groin. It'll probably be later in the week before we get a report on that.
The biggest misrepresentation there is that (it's because) Dan's got a lot of money. That's not it. We've got a rule. Believe me, if we had no rules, Dan would spend some money.
This is an exciting thing for us. One of the biggest things here is we want to keep our coaching staff. It's very important to us. Gregg was willing to extend his contract.
In times of biggest change, if you can keep your head and be the smartest, you may get a jump over everybody else. It's a challenge, but it's an opportunity, too.
We wish the past two years could have been smoother.
We wish the last two years had been smoother. We wish there had been no injuries. We wish he could have played more and played back to the standard where he wanted to be. I know he was totally frustrated by it.
We wish Bill Musgrave all the best in his new role with the Falcons organization. Although it is unfortunate that he departed, we always want what is best for our coaches and their families, which is why we gave Atlanta permission to interview him.
The scheme they had on defense for us was something quite a few people up here can play,
I should have said, 'Hey, we've got several things we're going to turn in and want to look at with them,' ... 'We see it one way, and we'll see how they see it.' That should have been my comments, but I went specifically . . . I went over some things there that you can't.
I've been proud of our guys, the way they fight. We fight extremely hard.
Ethan's been around so long, it's a great credit to him. He might be as good a long-snapper as we've ever had. I put a lot of stock in snapping, and we pay him a lot of money to snap the ball.
