Kerry Collins Guys Quotations

We did have to alter our game plan a little bit, but not a whole lot. I think guys stepped up and played hard and did a good job.

I feel like we're growing as a team. I feel like we've got guys who didn't panic, who didn't go into crisis mode. We just knew we had to clear a few things up and we'd get a victory this weekend, and we did it.

I was definitely looking for the first down first, ... I knew the situation and felt anything that was close to getting a first down was covered. They had some people on Randy, two or three guys on him every play. J.P. was on the safety, so I took a shot at it.

We showed a lot of character, ... We should have won. But I don't think our guys are going to go in the tank.

We showed a lot of heart. We showed a lot of character, ... We should have won. But I don't think our guys are going to go in the tank.

We feel like we have a chance to be a good offense. I think we've showed some of that in the preseason. But we'll find out Thursday night. I'm excited about it. It's a big challenge for us, and I think guys are ready to go. But at the same time, we know it's a big task, and we've got to approach it like we're going into the most hostile environment imaginable, and we'll have to handle it that way.

The whole season has been disappointing, but I am proud of the way guys hung in there and fought. I know that guys came to play tonight and it was unfortunate that things didn't work out in our favor.

They had some people on him. I was certainly trying to go his way. They were putting two or three guys on him.

There was pressure, no doubt. The guys up front had their hands full and they did the best they could. The Patriots have an awesome defense. What hurt was all the penalties we had. You can't have those kinds of penalties or turnovers against a team like that. But hopefully, we can learn from our mistakes and straighten things out next week.

It seems like they have more leadership over there. They have some veteran guys who have played in this league and know what it takes to be on a good defense.

It's a testament to the organization and to Mr. Davis that they're willing to go out and do those kind of things and get guys like Randy in here, re-sign Jerry, getting LaMont. It's a great feeling for me. I'm excited about the year. I'm excited to work hard and just see how good we can be and how we can all put it together.

I don't think guys are going to go and tank, ... I think we have enough players on the team that we're not going to let that happen.

He can get over the top of any coverage. You see defenses load up with two and three guys and he still beats it.

These guys played their hearts out today and I'm proud of our guys. The bottom line to this whole thing is wins and losses and they made more plays than we did.

The guy has worked his butt off to get back to where he was, and he was just now getting back to being 100 percent. It's just disappointing because he's a heck of a player, and you hate to see good guys like that and good players get injured.
