I've been proud of our guys, the way they fight. We fight extremely hard.
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.
Certainly I would hope that this victory would be one that the guys say, 'Hey look, we're never out of something,' ... We're going to keep fighting no matter what. I hope we can kind of build on that and correct the things that we did poorly.
It's not Xs and Os. It's people and character and making great plays, ... It's more of a personal thing. It's the character. It's the fight - because up here most of the guys who get to this level are obviously talented.
I've got to tell you, for a little old guy fighting his guts out, we really like him. We've got some tough decisions there to make, and certainly he stood up.
It's been a real struggle for us, ... And the only way you get out of it is to fight our way out of it.
Our guys in the fourth quarter are fighting their guts out. I would hope that they'd start the game like that.
I like our attitude. I like the fact that we have a lot of fight to us.
A loss (Sunday) would have meant your back was against the wall and you're pretty much fighting week to week just to survive. To wind up 5-3, this puts you in a much better position. ... It gives you the feeling that you're fighting for it rather than trying to come off the floor.
The little guy fights his guts off, we really like him. We got some real tough decisions to make. Certainly he stood up tonight, he really played well. Those are the things we need to see.
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,
