Brandon Stokley Quotations

We're 5-0, which is good. But we have to do a lot better than we did.

Hopefully we can put some drives together, put some points on the board and get it going.

It breaks your heart to see something like that happen to such a great person. We're just going to pray for him and ask everybody else to pray for him.

I think we'll start thinking about 16-0 if we're 14-0 but that's a long way off. But home field, I think that's something you've got to start thinking about. You've got to understand what it means right now.

Just a lot of rain, some trees and limbs down and the power went out. But other than that, they're fine.

It felt good. I'm sore today, and it feels good to be sore.

That's the thing about him. He's the ultimate competitor. He practices as hard as anyone I've ever been around, and he lifts weights the same way. That's the reason this offense is so good.

We were going with a little more three wides this week, so I got in a few more plays because of it. That's how it works in this offense.

What separates him is how he respects you and how he cares for you off the field, not just on the field. When my son was in the hospital, he went out of his way to come and visit even after the season was over, when he didn't have to do that and when he was a busy man. That just showed a lot to me, what kind of person he is.

There's not a more deserving person. He's great for Indianapolis, great for the city and he deserves it.

They're fighting for their playoff lives right now. They need a win bad, so we're going to have to play good football to win. It's not going to be an easy game.

It makes things feel like you're back in the routine again. It's normal and, let's play football, let's focus on our job. It definitely does that.

It's going to be a lot different next year; it always is. Every year's a big turnaround. Great group of guys in this locker room, and you know some of them aren't going to be here next year, and that's just the NFL.

Then, it was just a normal game. We knew that was the way it was going to be.

They kept us in the game early when we had a hard time getting in the end zone. They played great and we knew they would.

He said some nice things. I think it uplifted everybody's spirits.

I don't think there is. I think we're going to go out there and play football like we know how. That's what he wants us to do, to go out there and play, not necessarily for him, but to win the game.

I don't think they've been in our heads. They've played better than us, and that's the bottom line.

How he works, in practice every day, is what sets him apart. When I got here what I noticed was how hard him and Peyton work together. It's not by accident what they do on the football field on Sundays.

You could hear a pin drop. He didn't talk long, three, four minutes, and that was it. But he said some really nice things.

The game helped us to put what happened out of our minds a little bit. He wanted us to come out and play. It was tough for all of us. We wanted to come out and play well, and we didn't play as well as we liked.

The crowd helps you a lot, especially our defense. It helps them get off the snap a lot quicker, it makes the offense slower coming off the snap count. That just turns into sacks, fumbles, penalties, turnovers - all kinds of things. So it's really big.
