Capable Quotes
Compared to the other teams, it definitely seems like a younger team to me. But I think that everybody here has the same motivation, the same desire to go out there and win these games and put us in the Super Bowl. That is everybody's goal. There is no doubt in anybody's mind that we can do that as long as we play the way we are capable of playing.
-
Ball Quotes
Coming out here and taking teams lightly will get us beaten. They threw the ball up and had some fun with it. It's not as if they were just lining up and saying 'Come and get him.' We all know if they did that, they wouldn't have had success throwing the ball. We gave up easy plays defensively. To make things easy is frustrating.
-
Cheer Quotes
It's incredible. To watch those guys move the ball, control the ball, control the clock, put up points ... First of all, I think the crowd enjoys it, because I don't think they've had an offense like that to cheer for a while. And defensively, we enjoy it because it keeps us off the field and it puts points on the board.

Against Quotes
I'm sure he's not happy with the way he left the Giants. I'm sure I wouldn't be if that were the same situation in my case. But at the same time, it's not Kerry Collins against the Giants. It's Raiders against Giants. One guy can have a vengeance, but you have to go out and play the game as an entire team.
-
Call Quotes
I look at it like this: You call the defense and if you execute everything right, then it should work, ... It's probably more frustration on the part of the defense. But at least they are correctable things, things that we better correct or we are not going to like our results this season.
-
Eat Quotes
If your kids see what you eat, they will probably eat it, too. I'm not going to use the old-school policy of what my mother did and say to my kids, 'Well, if you are hungry enough, you will eat what I put on the table!' I think my kids have an understanding that if they see what their parents do, they should follow, too.
-
Almost Quotes
I don't think anybody's bought into the notion of how good we are, because we're not perfect and we still have a long season to go. I think we all realize what we have at stake, and that it would be a lot better to be 4-1 than to be 3-2, because at 3-2 it's almost as if you have to start over.

Sports Quotes
I love solving problems. It makes me happy to juggle all the jobs I do-figuring out which team is supposed to win on Fox NFL Sunday; reacting off the cuff to Kelly [Ripa, on Live]; and now Good Morning America, trying to fit into that group. The great thing coming from sports is you understand the concept of a team. It leaves no room for being selfish.

New York Quotes
I was scared every time I put on a uniform and stepped on the field. I’m scared every day I go into the studio and I come on stage because I fear that I will not live up to what is expected. I fear that somebody who spent a lot of money to come into our studio, to come to New York and they’ll walk away and go, ‘I could have stayed at home.’ I feared that as a player a fan would come to the stands and I wouldn’t perform well. Just the way I’m built. I’m more scared of failure than I am excited about the accolades that come with success.

Backs Quotes
You want to make something happen on defense, and for a guy who is managing a game or just kind of sits backs there and tries to pick you apart, it is a little frustrating. Defensively you want that one opportunity to make something happen. When you have a guy who plays smart like that, it makes it a little bit more difficult.

Against Quotes
The first two preseason games I was still like, 'OK if I stick my arm out there like I did when I messed it up, will it happen again?' ... Then against the Jets I did it to Curtis Martin. And you know what? Nothing happened. I think the more you play and the more you use it like I usually would, the less I think about it. Right now I really don't think about it at all.
