This was a very important game for us. We needed to show everybody that we could play better than we did last week. Our guys did a good job of that today.
This was a tremendous success and we accomplished more because of this event. Camp is completed and I feel good about it.
(UA) played really hard, and they had a very good defense, ... Their scheme is very solid. They know how to mix their looks and their pressures. They came after us and were really effective. We respect the heck out of what they are doing and what they are capable of doing.
I have great respect for Walt and all the stuff he has done. For years, I have been calling him to ask him what's up, how to do this and how to do that. He is a really good football coach.
LenDale White got asked about 30 questions to try to get him to say something. He was true to his word the whole way through and somebody thinks they got something out of him. Our guys are great, competitive kids and they want to play and they want the ball. I think that's a really good attribute.
I think he's definitely in that vein, ... Obviously he's got a long ways to go before we can say he's as great a player as those guys, but he has the potential and to be as good as anyone who's ever played.
That was a very good first opportunity, but we were piping in crowd noise that day. We don't have to this time.
(Matthews) has had a very good spring. He's played almost every snap in the springtime so he's had a great opportunity to show us stuff and he's done very well.
Mark Sanchez got knocked around a little bit, which was good for him for the first time.
When he returns he'll have had the most practice time with us (of any healthy running back). We do have a good feeling for what we can do; we're really excited about his ability to help this football team. He's doing really well, and there's a chance he could (play) now.
History has shown we're a really good second-half football team and particularly strong in the fourth quarter. We count on that.
He's been feeling this for years, and he doesn't feel it anymore, so he's ecstatic about the surgery because he knows that he's beyond that. He wants to go out and throw right now. That's how good he feels, he thinks he can go out and do stuff.
We're in great shape, and everything is going to work out for the long haul. I'm not looking. I don't care about those opportunities. ... This is a good time for this. There'll be a tremendous amount of movement in the NFL a week from now.
We're excited to get back home. ... We have an opportunity to be pretty healthy and in pretty good shape.
