20 Quotes by Jeff Banks

We had backups ready to go. We charted his plays to see how many times he touched the ball, worried about overusing him.

One man down the road said he tried desperately to get his wife into the attic. The man got in the attic, but his wife fell back down and drowned right there in front of him.

He has great mechanics as far as his hand work and getting the ball off, and he just has really dedicated himself. Everything I ask him to do, he does 110 percent. And he's not gun-shy. He believes it's the right thing to do and he goes out and does it. The last 3-4 practices, he has really been hitting the ball well.

When he comes out to the practice field, he knows exactly what to do, and he's ready to compete and get better.

He just exceeded our expectations. He just kept making play after play and running the football and not wanting to get out of the game.

It almost got away from us. But we didn't give up just because we were behind. That's the best part.

Our house is only one block off the beach,

We have some things in our passing game that might fit one guy better. A short-yardage situation might fit better for a certain guy. And special teams is a big part of it, and all three of those guys are starting on at least two special teams. So we'll just see where we go from here. But we're in a great position. Last year, we had Howard Jackson, and Matt was backing him up with Jimmy Smith. This year I think we've got three threats, as opposed to just one.

We're not going back. That's just not something I want to go through again.
