Other guys are playing a little bit better than him. I think you earn your playing time in practice, and Matt Bush (who made his first start on Friday) has had a really good two weeks of practice and had a good game tonight.
It's not the Sean Taylor show, it's the Redskins' show. It was the Redskins' defense, the Redskins' offense and the Redskins' special teams. There are a lot of guys out there playing their best football right now, that's all I can tell you.
You're never going to win them all, but our guys have the belief they're going to execute and win some games down the stretch. Hopefully that carries over to the rest of the season.
After the East Moline game, I really believe these guys know they can find a way to win. They never believe they're out of it.
Pierson's been a guy who has stepped into so many roles for us. Whether it's been nickel, dime or safety, he's given us a lot of versatility on the field. Pierson does a lot of the things on the field and comes prepared to the games every weekend.
We had good foul shooters going to line. Our best three foul shooters are going to the line the most.
That was the key play of the game. That sort of put it away.
I was really happy when I heard about (the meeting). That shows they're taking ownership of the team. When it's my team, we're not as good. When it's their team, they want to make things work and we're a lot better.
Why was I not here? It was offseason, ... I could have returned his phone calls, but it was offseason.

Man, that's why we've got judges, we've got trials, we've got people that make decisions for what goes on in court. I'm not worried about anything.
(Friday night) Galesburg made shots, so we weren't able to get it off the rim and transition it. When we can get it off the rim and in transition, we're a much better basketball team.
For us to win we needed to (capitalize). We needed to have maximum possessions.
Catfish - I call him Catfish - is always around the ball. Yeah, that was great.
