ability best biggest catch chance defender fastest hesitant last natural position proved roy speed throw tough year
There's nothing that Roy doesn't do well. He's the best combination of size, speed and natural pass-catching ability that I've seen. He's not our fastest receiver, and he's not our biggest receiver. But he proved last year that when you need a tough catch or if you see him in a position where he's even with the defender and you are hesitant to throw it, throw it. Give him a chance and he'll catch it.
course decision harder three throw winning yards
Of course I want to make the decision harder on him, ... But the only way I can do that is by winning. If I throw for 300 yards and three touchdowns and we still lose, it won't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters.
both interest nice throw tried
If I tried to throw Dre' a slant, he'd probably try to lateral it to someone, while R.W. would just take off. But in the interest of being politically correct, I'll just say it is nice to have both of them as options.

I'm not going to stop throwing it. You can't ever lose confidence in the guys in your huddle.

We didn't make any ground-breaking decisions in an hour and a half. We've been talking off and on for a while now. We've got a good relationship like that. So nothing was said today that hasn't been said already. We're just going to have to wait.

Blunt. He was the same way everybody was. He came in. He said, 'We all got beat, and nobody in this locker room can point a finger at anybody else.' And that's what everybody in the room believed.

Tell me how I'd hear about it? ... Don't know. Don't want to know. Doesn't matter.

There's five games left in the season. I don't know how far we're behind the Bears, but the reality is we're probably playing for pride now.
matt president
That would make Lions' president Matt Millen look like a genius. For once in his life.
fought guys hoped kept proud shows ugly
I was proud to be with a lot of those guys in the huddle because they fought through it, and that shows character. It was an ugly season, and it wasn't what we had hoped for and not what we expected. But guys in that huddle kept playing, and I was proud of that.
best league teams wish
I wish I had an answer, ... At times we can go out and play with the best teams in the league and at times we've imploded.
bargain everybody fall focus games hold importance lose playing pointing seems start
I think everybody realizes the importance of playing for your teammates. When you get in those kind of games where everything just kind of seems to snowball out of control, it's important that you don't lose focus and start pointing fingers. ... When you hold up your end of the bargain and you're accountable to everybody else on the team, then things will fall into place.
