My commitment to the players was to try to keep this whole group together and hopefully improve and step up again next year.
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.
From Mark's standpoint, when he was playing last year we weren't as good certainly as we are now, ... I think we're better now. And hopefully that will prove out to be the case.
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.
Right now, for anybody in this organization - I would hope in the entire town - to be focused on anything other than Philly would be ridiculous. We're getting ready to play the most important game that a lot of our players will play. ... If we lose the game, we're not going anywhere. So my mind-set is on one thing, Philadelphia. That's the way I feel about it.

Maybe we just like winners. We hope some of that will carry over to the Redskins.

We have great chemistry, great character. Our goals would be to keep everybody -- the coaching staff, the players -- together and hopefully improve next year. We all feel like we've got something going here.
There are some real critical decisions we're going to make in that group. So we played them a lot. And hopefully the film will tell us what we need to know so we make good decisions.
We'll let Patrick go this weekend. I felt we needed to give Patrick a shot. Hopefully he'll play great for us and we're all going to support him. We're going to give him all the work in practice. He's got a tough assignment this weekend in trying to lead us against Philly.
Now I was joking, so I hope everybody in Dallas - because I've got a lot of buddies there - I hope they all took it as a joke. But to anybody that didn't, I apologized.
Our guys in the fourth quarter are fighting their guts out. I would hope that they'd start the game like that.
Our heart goes out to everybody down there, ... They've got to do whatever they've got to do. We're all praying for everybody down there. There's been a number of our players affected by it, and you just hope that somehow such a tragedy somehow we'll get that all squared away as quick as we can. So I would say whatever they've got to do, the Saints . . . I just feel bad for them.
