couple drops good great key
I like the way we started. It was a great first drive. A couple of key drops stymied some opportunities that we had. We are doing some good things, but we have a long way to go.
football games happened hopefully key learns looking players points ready rearview regret roll score send win
You've got to score points to win football games and we regret what happened here, having to send one of our key players home, but looking at it in the rearview mirror, we would do the same thing again. Hopefully Simeon comes back ready to roll and he learns from this.
battles certain early game guys key players
We're going to play the regulars a little bit. They'll give way early to a lot of guys who we think are in key battles at certain positions, and guys who are young players who we think need game time.
goes inaccurate injury involving key life optimistic player potential sit stand
I'm an optimistic guy. But I'm also very realistic. I just don't want to stand up here and say something that is inaccurate when it's involving a key player and an injury of this potential magnitude. I just sit and wait. That's kind of how my life goes sometimes.

Late in the second quarter, we had some key penalties and some breakdowns that cost us.

He's a key cog in the No. 1 defense in the NFL, so we're going to need him.
figure fourth games key last obviously plays pocket quick running sick stages taken
We've had games in our pocket and then have been mugged. We've had games taken from us in key stages of the fourth quarter. It's a sick feeling. Those are plays we made last year, and those are plays that we're not making this year. Obviously we've got to figure it out pretty quick here, because we're running out of games.

I would just like to say it is a great feeling, a great accomplishment by our team. I am very proud of them. A credit to the New Orleans Saints, they came in here under adverse circumstances, obviously, missing some key players and they competed greatly today. We hung in there and we earned our 11th victory. We look forward to continuing the season at home next week. I am really proud of our football team.

I love my brother. I haven't talked to him, but I will. All I can say from the Gruden family is, I'm very apologetic.
battle bit guy knows pride rehab sure team
I'm sure he is. He's got a lot of pride, he's been through a lot with the rehab to get well, with the knee, with the back. I think, in his own mind, he's probably a little bit frustrated. But he's a team guy and he knows it's a long battle back.
credit days great guy happy hard proud special
I'm really happy for him, proud of him. It's a credit to him and his hard work. This guy is a special talent, a special kid. Hopefully, he's got a lot more great days ahead.
concerned fine football injury last people played snaps year
I'm more concerned with Shelton's injury than I am concerned with Nate. Nate's a fine football player. He played a lot snaps for us last year -- not a lot of people know that,
answer eat needed pass proclaim score situations start
It's so early, and I don't want to proclaim him as an answer to all our problems, ... But he's off to the kind of start we needed him to have. ... You make first downs, you eat up clock, you score touchdowns, you keep your quarterback in third-down-and-operable situations and the play-action pass is going to be that much better with (Williams) in there.
execution good hurt lack nearly penalties year
It's not good. It has not been good at all, ... The penalties have hurt us and our lack of execution hasn't been nearly what it was a year ago. We have to get that thing going.
