I just take this job very seriously. It's almost like you play a kid's game for a king's ransom. And if you don't take it serious enough, eventually, one day, you're going to say, 'Oh, I could have done this, I could have done that.'
I hope we run it 50 times. I hope they run it 50 times. And I'm going to place my bet on 26. That's the way we're going to like it.
I'm not sure relief is the right word, but satisfaction probably is. They worked hard and accomplished their goal.
We've had some droughts throughout the year like that and those just kill us. We have to find a way to put the ball in the basket.
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.
That's why we've got judges, we've got trials, we've got people who make decisions (about) what goes on in court, ... I'm not worried about anything. That's something for them to handle.
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.
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.
My dad's been hard on me, my coaches have been hard on me, he's just like that extra father figure. When he relates to us like he expects more, we don't look at it in a negative way and say: 'You know what? I can't do it.' At least he has the confidence in us to say, 'You can do it.' We don't look at it as negative. Sometimes you might get a little down, but you never can look at the bad side.
Catfish - I call him Catfish - is always around the ball. Yeah, that was great.
Like any rivalry, there will be some great games. Fans will enjoy how hard these two teams will play.
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.
It's not difficult to separate it, ... When I'm here, I'm not worried about anything other than what's going on on the field.
It's swollen pretty good. Hopefully, he'll be able to give us some minutes (tonight).
