The whole season has been disappointing, but I am proud of the way guys hung in there and fought. I know that guys came to play tonight and it was unfortunate that things didn't work out in our favor.

We've gotten better since then. We've continued to work hard and gotten better.

Right before the game he came in and said his workout went well. We knew he would be limited, but he made some big catches, including a touchdown. We used him sparingly, but he was effective.
davis excited feeling good great guys hard randy testament willing work
It's a testament to the organization and to Mr. Davis that they're willing to go out and do those kind of things and get guys like Randy in here, re-sign Jerry, getting LaMont. It's a great feeling for me. I'm excited about the year. I'm excited to work hard and just see how good we can be and how we can all put it together.
bit expect knows needs second seems talking time training work
He just seems so much more comfortable; I was talking to him a little bit about that here in training camp. This being his second time around, he knows what to expect ... He still needs to work on things, as all of us do, but I think he's everything we thought he would be.
bad hard learn offense perception public receiver shown takes whatever worked
Whatever the public perception may have been of Randy, I have nothing bad to say about the guy. He's come here, worked hard and shown that he'll do whatever it takes to learn this offense and to be the kind of receiver here like he was in Minnesota.
behind couple few looking missed played tried worked
Looking back on it, there have been some missed opportunities. I know I've missed a couple of things. Defenses have played us soft; we've tried to get behind them, and it hasn't worked out a few times.
good guy guys hate heck players worked
The guy has worked his butt off to get back to where he was, and he was just now getting back to being 100 percent. It's just disappointing because he's a heck of a player, and you hate to see good guys like that and good players get injured.
guys
We showed a lot of heart. We showed a lot of character, ... We should have won. But I don't think our guys are going to go in the tank.
encouraged
We showed a lot of heart, ... We showed a lot of character. I'm encouraged by what I've seen.
ball creative expect people roll ways
We expect (double coverage) every game. People are going to do it, roll (coverage) to him and stuff. But we're creative enough where we can find ways to get him the ball down the field.
believe definitely kinds learned newspapers opinions
I've definitely learned that you never believe everything that you read in the newspapers or see on TV, ... I mean, you've got to make your own kinds of opinions in this business.
makeup talent wait
And while we can't wait too much longer, we know we've got to get this thing righted. We've got the guys. We have the makeup to do it, and we've got the talent to do it.
coverage fun playing randy single
Randy had single coverage on the outside, and we know we aren't going to see that often with Randy. It's going to be a lot of fun playing with him.
