My commitment to the players was to try to keep this whole group together and hopefully improve and step up again next year.
I felt like he got hit low on it. He tried to come back but felt like he couldn't. We'll have to see how that develops over the next couple of days.
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.
We've got a real tough one next week, ... I'm going to enjoy tonight's dinner, though, at least.
You never know what's going to happen, but our goal is to keep everything together. We have a lot to do trying to get ready for next year and continuing to add to our team and continuing to build something. I know we have the right kind of character and right kind of players to build around.
If you make a lot of yards and you turn the ball over, then you don't score points, ... So that's a tough lesson to learn. Maybe I'm looking at the good side of it Maybe it's good we get the lesson now. Last year, we started out the season and that's exactly what haunted us -- we turned the ball over and right now we're next to last in the league in terms of giveaways and takeaways.
I like it that after that first Monday, it's all Sundays until the last Saturday, but I think they should have a rule that if you play on Monday night, you should get to play at home the next week.
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.
