Andy Reid Sure Quotations

We utilized him in training camp. We have to make sure that most of his concentration is on the tight end spot. But he is a guy we could use to get us through a game at fullback.

Obviously, we cannot do it like we have been doing it. We have to get better as players and coaches and I have a lot of trust in both the players and the coaches. We will work very hard and make sure we get it together and do a better job.

He didn't let all of that bother him. I'm sure everybody has their opinion on him on that team. Some guys like him and some don't, but he goes through that every week. Guys taunt him, but he doesn't get into that.

It gets pointed at McMahon, but it's not all him. Everybody around him, me included, needs to pick up our games and make sure we're running the routes the right way and we're catching the football. You can't have six or seven drops like we did Saturday. We have to protect a little better. I have to make sure I'm getting him in situations and the receivers in situations where they can do things.

I was being a little bit cautious with him yesterday and he didn't want any part of that, ... He felt good and went out and made all his throws. I was not sure how he was going to do with the deep ball yesterday, but I think he answered that. He threw the ball well.

You are going to take care of the big guys and make sure they get enough liquid in them and just kind of keep a close eye on them. Things just sometimes happen, and it's a shame.

When you get on a roll, like we have been on in the past, I would say that the concentration level is at an extreme. It needs to be better and the obvious things are the penalties. You have to focus in on those things, on the technique, concentrate on the snap count and make sure you are not lined up in the neutral zone and those types of things.

We will look at all phases and we will make sure we learn from the experience and we take the good from it and try to get better as a football team. With the character of players I have here, I know it will take place.

Everybody is a big part of that. We need to do a better job blocking and make sure we hit the holes. Everybody has a piece of that.

It's the hardest part about my job. It's hard to release a player. As a coach, you want your guys with you forever. But it doesn't work that way. I understand it, and the players understand it. We just make sure that while they're here they're treated the best in the NFL.

The NFL is a unique work place. There are no secrets anymore. Technology has taken over, and secrets are exposed. People are going to know what you're all about. You have to make sure you have real honesty in the work place, or you're going to be exposed.

I'm sure (injuries) hurt him there a bit. He was battling through it. It was not an easy thing for him.

I'm sure everybody has their opinion on him. Obviously there are some guys that like him and guys that didn't like him. He doesn't get into that. Every week people try to taunt him.
