Brian Dawkins Takes Quotations

I don't know if a short week ever helps you when you play a physical sport like football. But I have the confidence the guys will do what it takes to get their legs back, to get the bumps out, and will come out this next game swinging. That's all you can do come back and come out swinging.

We mixed it up. When you're facing that kind of coverage, maybe (Moss) doesn't go out and run like he usually would run. In his mind, he's thinking, well, I can't get past. It takes a weapon away from that offense.

So, we know what it takes to get off the canvas and dust yourself off and get going again, regardless of anything that comes about. We know how to stay focused on the goal.

Mentally, I just can't imagine what he's going through right now. But he's tough. He's going to push through this. I'm sure he'll do whatever it takes to get back.

We know what it takes to get ourselves back on the winning side. It takes hard work.

There were a lot of things. We were not able to get that consistent pressure that we wanted to get; teams have been doing different things against us and we have not made plays either. We have made mental mistakes and I think it got to a point where we were trying to do things instead of letting the game come to us. We were trying to step up and make a play and then we gave up a play.

I think that's a tribute to Andy and the veterans. We know what it takes to get back. It takes hard work. It takes dedication to what we're doing.
