“It's been fun, especially with these guys. This football team is different. They're just different. They've got something about them. They've got some chemistry and some great things that it's hard to pinpoint the things that make champions, but this team has it in them.”

“What I've found is that a lot of times, if a guy is that good that you're spying on him, he's probably better than your spy guy. We've got to have 11 guys spying on him.”

“If you miss a tackle correctly -- and I know that sounds funny -- you can get some help from your friends.”

“What we're really pleased with is that they played hard. We tried to execute our defense, but we played a lot of base defense. Obviously, we have a lot of work to do on some things. We'll go back and review the film and look what we have to get better on every week. Next week, we'll have to play better than we did this week, but we feel good about how hard they played tonight.”

“They are going to move the ball, and they are going to hit a big play on you here and there. Everything at that point comes down to how you respond. You can't let the flames become fires.”
