We're sympathetic, but once you step on the field, football's football. That guy across from me is not trying to be my friend once we're out there, and I'm not trying to be his, either. We're playing to win. We're not going out there to put on a show and let these guys win the game.

We have to play our hardest. We're playing to win. We're not going out there to put on a show and let these guys win the game.
I was saying this was probably one of the worst defenses I've ever been on, the way we were playing early in the season. But people took that personally, and we've gotten better. Today's performance was absolutely amazing.
Guys are just thoroughly enjoying playing for him right now. I think that's a testament that this is his team and we're here to do whatever we need to do to in. His focus isn't to make things hard on us, his focus is to make sure we're prepared to win football games.
He is going to be a great head coach. I'll be really surprised if he doesn't get a job somewhere. He's done a great job with this unit and he's made it exciting. He's made me want to go out there and play like I was young again. I'm proud to play for Tim and, unselfishly, I hope I'm not playing for him next year.

It was great to be back out there playing with some live action and getting to hit another team.
I appreciate that without a doubt. Great quarterback. I just look at it as going up against Kerry Collins, who is playing for the Raiders now. Nothing more.
We've just got to make plays. Keep the ball out of their hands, make the tackles, all the other stuff. We didn't do it.
There have been three guys I've been around who, personality-wise, have been the most inspirational,
When I saw Toomer catch it and there were no flags, it was the most excited I've been around here in a long time.
We're our own worst enemy. You doubt yourself more than anybody else ever will. If you can get past that, you can be successful.
When I saw the date of the game, it was a little like, 'Whoa,' ... It kind of took you back. We'll go out here and hopefully give everybody in the city of New York and across the country something to be happy about and turn it into a celebration.
This time of year, you really have to be able to stop the run. So it's going to be key for us to get back to where we were.
