Mike Sherman Good Quotations

Obviously that's three too many penalties. We have to weigh the production of what (Whitticker) is doing compared to what he's giving up. Three pretty important penalties, so I have to consider that. Not to make excuses for a rookie, but he is doing some pretty good things. He knows his assignments, is a pretty physical player. I think he will continue to get better. That doesn't mean we're going to stay with him if this persists.

I might invite him over to my house for dinner tonight, ... He certainly still has some ways to go, but I was proud of the fact he made a good play there and gave us a chance to win the game.

His legs look alive; he's powerful; he's fast; he's tough, ... He's a very, very good back. He's really made a splash this season so far and I'm sure he has plans to continue that.

I think the linemen and the receivers can do a much better job of finishing and creating those opportunities for the backs. Then again, it's also the backs as well. Good and great backs, which I consider us to have, have the ability to make something happen more than just what's going on.

The only concern I have is how is he playing right now, and he's playing pretty good. So, I feel good about that.

He was limited in some capacity. But, what he did do, he looked good at. (We're) hopeful that he'll be able to play on Sunday and give us what we need.

What happens when adversity strikes? And it will, and we'll have to work through those issues. It won't always be the good times in the preseason when everyone's patting you on the back.

Those are two of the elder statesmen on the team who have been through the good times and through the struggles. So they have a little bit of a bond there.

Both David and Donald Lee, ... Did a very good job.

They're the catalyst to the defense because they're so active, so disruptive. There aren't a whole lot of holes there. They've certainly drafted well and had good guys in backup roles. That's the biggest difference between this year and a couple years ago when they played with the same four guys.

A missed field goal, a missed extra point, four turnovers by us. Numerous things went wrong for us, and we lose to a good football team by a point,

We haven't played as well this year, that bodes out more than anything. One minute you have a really good team here and you have really good results. We haven't quite achieved that here as of late.
