Duane Starks Quotations

Some of everything happened out there. Basically, we were outplayed. In every aspect of the game, we were outplayed. Basically, it seems like there is a problem that needs to be fixed and it doesn't lie with one person. No one individual is the reason this is happening. It's just collectively as a group we need to come together.

We're all professionals. They went through the same draft process to get to where they are as I did, so I'm going to make plays, they're going to make plays.

I don't feel that my whole game was bad. Those two plays I gave up were deep balls. They weren't touchdowns but they were long plays and they created momentum shifts. I mean, my body felt good, I was moving well. On the first one they just ran a great route for the defense we were in. Basically, that's what happened.

Starks said. ''I just think we executed more in the second half.

We finished the game with everybody out there. That wasn't a big deal. Everyone came out of there. We just got to get fixed what we got to get fixed. We can't give up big plays like we did today. Got to stop the run, got to stop the pass.

As far as dealing with the critics, I?m like Antwone Fisher. I?m still here, I?m still standing and I?m still going to play. Therefore, I?m going to do everything I have to do to get better -- in the weight room, on the field and in the classroom studying the books.

I never felt so good and played so bad.

I think we played more disciplined in the second half. I just think we executed more in the second half.

On that play, yeah, I got beat going all the way across the field. Fine. I?m cool with that. On the second play, I set down on a route that I never should?ve set down on. That?s on me.

It's the harshest thing you want to deal with going into a bye week, ... But I'm a grown man. I can deal with that ... I'm going to do everything I have to do to get better, do everything I have to do in the weight room, on the field and studying the books.
