Charlie Whitehurst Quotations

There are people out there that know I can play. I'll just go out there and make it happen.

I'd like to think I'm mentally tough, and I won't let it affect me. But yeah, I'll remember it my whole life, for sure. You don't think about it this week. You think about it after the season's done.

I finally talked my dad into buying a bass boat.

I threw it to the wrong guy. They busted on defense, and it's kind of like they do the wrong thing, and it screws you up. I've got to make a play to somebody, and there's two or three guys open.

I think we've experimented with that in the past. It works good sometimes. But you get beat bad that way, too.

I think we're more methodical right now. We're still figuring this thing out. We're only four games in. ... When it all gels, I think we'll be all right.

I think everything we do on offense is better, ... I think we're more talented at every position. Our scheme fits us pretty good and I think everybody's making better decisions.

I tell them it's getting close to 100 percent, which is the truth. But it has taken longer that I wanted it to. I thought in two months it would be back to where it was.

I think I'm talented enough, ... I've got the players around me; we've got good coaches and a good defense. There's no reason it shouldn't happen.

Maybe on third down, that's where we need to be looking. He always delivers.

Those guys have produced all year long. They don't have a lot of experience but they're developing into some excellent football players.

We've kept them off-balance with our formations. We threw when they were expecting us to run, and we ran with they thought we'd throw. It was a great game plan on our coaches' part.

We're used to it. We do it every week.

When you're playing a running offense like they have, you've got to score as much as you can and as often as you can. We scored early, and they didn't respond for a while.

We were able to kind of methodically take it down the field and answer their first touchdown. It got us back in the game and we were able to roll after that.

We're not out of it yet. I wish I had an answer for you. We should do this all the time.

The defense kept giving us the ball back. When we were forced to move the ball and get some points, we did that.

We've proven we can beat teams with this kind of talent,

There's no telling what James can do next year. The sky's the limit for James and a bunch of other young guys. It's pretty easy to call plays and block with James in the backfield.

It was a little bit (frustrating), with everyone else throwing. But we made that decision, knowing that two weeks later, I would be that much more healthy.

The sky's the limit for James and the lot of those guys.

I used to think if I had the ball in my hands, anything is possible, ... I don't think that anymore. I think the game is won on the offensive and defensive lines.

It's (the NFL process) definitely not over. There is no real off-season for a rookie. But it's nice to have this day over, to perform pretty well and then move on.

It's funny, I hear that a lot. The great offenses don't have an identity. Everything works.

It's been a decade since I've been in that situation. Since Pop Warner.

Considering everything, it went as good as I could've anticipated. I think I proved a few things. I was definitely having fun out there.

It was amazing how good we were, ... I had forgotten how good we could be, because it had gotten so bad.

I'm not sure he knows what he's talking about, anyway. Honestly, people in the know tell me that he doesn't know. I don't know if he likes me or not.

I like that he's keeping it positive, I think it's good for this team. I think it's a good message that he's sending, and it's a true one. But I think there's a handful of guys on this team that need to go and win the game.

I'm living at my parents' house right now, training in Atlanta. So, I don't know if I've got a spot for it right now.

He's pretty talented after the catch. He's the future here at receiver. The more we can get him the ball, the better.

I don't know if we had better talent, but it sure looked like we did.

You can't fire the players at this level, thank God, ... It's a tough situation. I wish it wouldn't have happened. We shouldn't have done what we did last year. So something had to happen.

All of these losses hurt the same. There isn't one that hurts more than the other.
