When you lose, the easy part is to see who gives up. Giving up is very simple. You basically take your stuff and walk away. To continue to work and to continue to compete is one of the most difficult things, especially when you really don't have anything to play for other than dignity and self-perseverance. That's when you see who's really with you.
Giving up is very easy. To continue to work and to continue to compete is one of the most difficult things, especially in a rough environment when you really don't have anything to play for other than dignity.
Let me tell y'all something: Even though we've been losing and gone through some difficult times, man, we continue to keep our morale up. Our confidence has always been high.
All these wins are big wins. We have to continue to compete and just play. We just got more defensive conscious in the fourth quarter and were able to win the game.
I'm trying to know him as much as he's trying to know me,
I'm sure every team in the league goes through what we're going through. It's no different for us. The morale is not down, but we're trying to figure it out. ... I hate losing. I haven't really slept very well. It's good I got decent skin or you'd see all these bags under by eyes. It's not a good feeling right now. I'm eager to get a winning streak going.
I knew I wanted to do something, ... But I didn't know in detail what I wanted to do.
It's not good, but what we're doing now is trying to prepare for next year. That's the reality. We have 17 games to go. I was just focusing on trying to win at least one of these games on the road.
It was hard. Very hard, ... But, what's new around here? Other than these teammates. That's to be expected from Kevin.
I'm from the South, though, and I know how hard the South is, ... A lot of things that go on up North, there's a lot more opportunity. In the South, there's not as much opportunity and I know it's going to be a dramatic and drastic transition to turn that city around.
I'm out there sweating and working hard. Continuing to work and compete is one of the most difficult things when you really don't have anything to play for other than your dignity.
I've yet to see a team that doesn't go through a stretch of difficulty. This is ours. We just got to battle through.
It was a game that we had to have. As far as momentum and trying to create some with our schedule, this came at the right time...Playing a team that is an aggressive team, I thought we did a good job of meeting that aggression.
I try to keep things in house, but there's a certain tone in here, man, and we're going to keep that. If you can't (abide) by the tone, you won't be here, you won't play. I don't sign nobody's checks and (expletive) like that, but you've got to be prepared and ready to play, man.
