Doug Kay Quotations

Seventeen-thousand people and they?re going 2-14, and then they bring the idiot in from Tampa, and he?s taken it from 17 to 10.

Since 1996, Cecil has filled a duel role to me as a son and a player; he is that close to me as a person. I have a tremendous amount of respect for what he stands for on and off the football field. He will always be an integral part of my family.

Whatever happened on that football field ... we we're wrong in doing it. We need to learn to back away.

We played great character football in the second half. We had some kids, who are not starters (and) who were not defensive specialists. They were kids that we had to borrow to put in there to makeshift and do some things. We had a lot of people playing the whole way. We probably should have started it like that.

We don't have the firepower to overcome that. If we were a ball club that could go down and score and put a lot of points on the board, sometimes we can overcome those things.

We don't have superstars like we did last year. We have 19 solid players that want to listen, want to skate hard and want to win.

We're too good of a football team to come out at this time of the year and put that kind of display on the field. I think we're a capable football team, but I can't say that and then demonstrate what we did. What you see is what you get, more often than not.

We think we can do a lot of things, other than play hard, and still control a football game. We need to learn you can't do that. We're so damn blue collar that if we don't go out on the football field and play hard, we're not going to get results.

It was a great effort by everybody in all facets.

That?s a lack of character in that situation. We can?t do it.

I just think David is one of the premier players at that position in the whole league. I watch him like a kid in a candy store sometimes because I?m just amazed at his abilities.
