If he ever had the chance, he'd catch 70 to 80 balls a year easy, ... The guy catches everything. You can't cover him.
This is my ninth year here and I've been to the playoffs only twice and we've lost both times. Definitely, it would be a huge disappointment if we don't make the playoffs this year.
I'm looking forward to making a Super Bowl run in Atlanta every year.
(Ryan) just took control of the offense. He was poised. He just made plays. Matt is a great quarterback. The more he plays, the better he's going to get. He just needs to get on the field to show his ability.
I think (offensive coordinator) Al Saunders did a great job figuring out what didn't work,
I am happy for Antonio. He came out and played great today, one of the best games I have ever seen by a tight end,
I didn't go downfield at all. It's frustrating. I haven't even sniffed the end zone this year. The Eagles didn't do anything special to stop me. I just didn't get the opportunity. I need to get the ball to help this team win.
Leadership doesn't come from age. He's a young leader. He's not just any other backup quarterback coming into the game. We know what he's capable of.
One of the best games I've ever seen by a tight end.
When you enter an arena or stadium at full capacity you just don't know who is going through the turnstiles, ... Everything that helps our security, I'm for it.
You can't be surprised by what he's been doing. When he gets the ball in his hands it's hard to bring him down.
It sucks. You work so damn hard and things don't fall the way you want it to. It's frustrating, so frustrating. I don't know what to do now. I'm telling guys on the team that I just want to go home. We really expected to win this game. I just have that empty feeling.
It wasn't a surprise. We knew what they were capable of.
That kind of performance is nothing out of the ordinary. Matt's a great player. When you're in the huddle with him, it makes you feel that there are no problems in the game.
