I can't make the calls. I have to go by what's called. Coach felt that was the approach he wanted to take in order to give ourselves a chance to win. ... That was his decision and how he felt at the time.
Most important, it allows me upstairs, mentally, to be at ease a little bit.
I remember when they signed Isaac back, I called and congratulated him. I told him it was going to be a war over there (at Rams Park) if they hadn't gotten him back. We both laughed. It's good to see him back on the field. I'm glad to have another opportunity to play ball with him this season.
I think what people are probably seeing are some similarities. I can understand why the expectations are high, because we have a great deal of talent. We have some guys that can do a lot of good things for us offensively.
We're already down one in our division. And now we have another division opponent. We have to go in there and fight. To go down two in the division is tough.
We had a lot of great memories with Kurt, those types of things will flash back leading up to the game,
We need to knock them in the mouth and get some three-and-outs,
We didn't execute as well as we should have in the red zone. It goes to show that the best team doesn't always win. I think that we were the better team and the stats showed we were the better team. But (the 49ers) made more plays to win the ballgame.
It goes to show the best team doesn't always win. Stats-wise, we showed we were a better team, but they beat us to the punch.
It goes to show that the best team doesn't always win. I think that we were the better team at times today, and the stats showed that we were the better team.
I'm going to need some heart pills soon. At some point in time we have to say enough is enough and let's finish a ballclub out early, and let's get out of here with a clean victory.
I'm glad that I went to North Carolina State because we didn't win a lot of ballgames, we didn't win any national championships. We lost three or four straight, but you still had to come out and work and play and believe in your teammates. The same approach I took in college is the same approach that I have taken now.
That's the feeling we have to recapture. We have to get out of the gate early this season, and if we do that and have fun together, everything will be OK. I'm not really concerned about the message we send out to the league. It's the message we send to each other. Because it's not about what anybody else does; it's about the Rams.
It's been different. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Mike and what he can do. His creativity is something we'll miss. But I think coach Fairchild has a good handle on things.
