Quotes by Kevan Barlow
You can't even compare the two seasons. Last year was a lot tougher. We're still losing a few games, but we all know it's going to turn around soon. You can feel it.
I definitely think he's going to use that as an incentive to go out there and try to play harder.
I know he's going to have some pep in his step this week. He's probably going to want to show us up.
I know he's going to want to probably show us up. He's going to try to, but we're going to prepare for him just like we prepare for (the Rams') Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce. ... I'm sure he was upset, (and) he had some things to say when he left, but that's irrelevant to us in this locker room.
I know we've been progressing when it comes to running the ball and it was a matter of time before we would go out and get some positive yards, ... I think this week was a good one for us to establish our identity when it comes to running the ball.
I'm going to get healthy and I'm going to come back next year better than ever. I understand this is a 'What have you done for me lately?' business, but people forget what you've done in the past. There's no doubt in my mind I'm one of the elite backs in the league and it's just a matter of time before it shows.
It's a makeover, and I'm excited about them. When I go in the huddle and see those faces, I know I have guys in there that have each other's back and I know those guys are going to block.
That's our mentality, everybody's mentality, run the ball and pass second. We're going to establish. We'll run right and run left. We're not going to have 52 sacks this year. I'd rather run the ball every down before we have as many sacks as we did last year.
It's going good. If it was up to us, we would have over 100 yards rushing right now.
Regardless if it's Terrell Owens or Marvin Harrison, we are going to prepare the same way.
