ball looked pleased quick sharp threw throughout took
He looked OK. He took most of the reps throughout practice. He threw the ball well, he was sharp with it and he was quick in his movements. I was pleased with the day.
ball ears kept pinned ran running stop threw
We didn't stop anything. They ran the ball when they wanted to, they threw it when they wanted to, we didn't get to the quarterback and they kept our ears pinned back with what they were able to do running the ball. I was disappointed with everything defensively.
ball ran stop threw
We didn't stop anything. They ran the ball when they wanted to and they threw the ball when they wanted to.

He threw for greater distance and felt good about that. He also threw a few more passes than yesterday and didn't have any discomfort at all, which is a good sign.

The guy tried a spin move on Chris. He slipped and Chris just threw him to the ground. Officials have to learn that when they see a guy on the ground, it isn't always because he was held.

We're very fortunate to have Eli. We've pressed on through some difficult times his rookie year into this season. He's improved and gotten better as we've gone along here. We've gotten him great experience; experience under fire, obviously, and some very, very big games. And he's performed well.
athletics breaking care coming competitor continue excited good great keeps perspective played position records remarkable takes tremendous verge work
First and foremost, he's an outstanding athlete. He has to be or else he wouldn't be in this position. He takes great care of himself. He's a competitor by nature. He has a great sense of humor, which I think keeps everything in perspective for him, good or bad. But, to play as long as he has played and to be on the verge of breaking these records is a tremendous accomplishment. For someone to be in a position that he's in and having done this for so many years and continue to be excited about coming to work every day and the opportunities he has is really a remarkable thing.

We didn't know what to expect (with Collins) and we were prepared one way or another.

There is nothing that has surprised me, because I think I know the player and he's practiced well and performed well in games. He's done a lot of good things and hopefully there are a lot more good things to come.

We had thrown the interception and didn't think we would ever get the ball back,

We were very much aware of our two owners and their illnesses, ... We knew that this game was a very important game, that they both would be tuned in. And we wanted to make sure that they were smiling.

Carolina is a tough, physical, well-coached team. We earned the right to play this game at home, and that is very important.

Nothing is ever easy. Obviously we had some big plays tonight, and we needed them.
