And after the game, 'Whit' says, 'Why didn't you change that call?' And I thought, 'Man, this kid is on top of it,' ... That showed me something.

You could tell the times we were having success, all that movement stuff (in the passing game) was working a lot better. For us to be efficient, we have to have that running game working.

I just don't think there's a play we can hang our hat on yet,

In the six years that I've been here, just from an emotional point of view, this is probably the most difficult loss I've dealt with,

It was like a circus because we kept shooting ourselves in the foot. But at least our wounds were self-inflicted and we can clean those things up.

That happens every once in a while. Will did a pretty good job stepping in (and starting).

There's been so much change in what we're doing here there hasn't been much time to think about it. I don't know what it's been like for everyone, but it's not like we've been sitting around waiting for Brett to make a decision. In some respect, everyone feels better now that he's coming back. If he retired, it wouldn't have come as a huge shock. Everybody is pretty excited he's coming back.

You still realize you're 1-4 (and) you're not anywhere close to where you need to be. You also have to look at the big picture. That's the good thing about this team - nobody's overconfident, thinking we're world-beaters. But now, we're also not thinking that we're the scum of the earth and we can't beat anybody.

Stupidity and mistakes aside, I think we had a great shot at winning. We're stuck in a really tough spot. You need a win, you want a win and we just didn't do it.

The thing I've noticed is that he's just even-keeled, ... To be a good offensive lineman in this league, you have to be that way. His personality is low key, but he's very confident.
