Dane Looker Quotations

Obviously, it being 9/11, the alert is probably going to be higher. But you can't live in fear like that. If something's going to happen like that, it can happen any day of the year. I don't think it will affect our mind-set going into the game.

He's part of this family. You know it's more serious than we'd like it to be when he has to miss practice because he's tired. He loves the game so much. He loves the team so much. And he's such a competitor that he doesn't want to miss anything.

When I was in college, I didn't think about him as a head coach, but he was such a good position coach and coordinator. Looking back, his qualifications as a leader really stood out. He was a guy who could relate to the players, since he was a former player himself. He's a great guy, very knowledgeable.

A lot of times, the preseason gets discredited by the fans and media. It helps so much to get that momentum going into the season.

It's definitely a different feeling, but it'll be great to go out there on Sunday night and try to redeem ourselves in front of the whole country. It's a chance to prove we're not as bad as our record looks.

It was nice during the break in the day just to go home and maybe sit on your couch and watch TV - just to get away for a little bit. Then you're refreshed when you come back the second practice.

It was just a play where I'm coming across the formation, a crossing route. I try to outflank the defense. Thankfully, Madison Hedgecock threw a heck of a block down there, got the guy on the ground, which enabled me to score.

I remember my first year, obviously I'm a free-agent nobody and one of the last guys in the receiver line, and he was always paying particular attention to me, making sure my details were right and giving me positive feedback. A guy like Jack Snow - you're going to miss him.

I know Kevin (Curtis) and Shaun (McDonald) are great players, and they're getting a lot of attention right now. I've just got to make sure that Coach (Mike Martz) knows that I'm still here. I'm still the same guy that caught 47 balls a couple years ago.

I can run when I have to. I kind of always get that possession tag on me. But most of my catches, I have my back to the defense. Most of those interior slot things. A couple of times (Friday), I got to catch it and turn up the field.
