Denny Green Ball Quotations

But that's what's great about this league. Teams like us have hope every year. Football is different from baseball. We share television revenues. That helps equal things out. Plus, it's never been proven that the more money you spend will help you win a Super Bowl. In baseball, you have the Yankees spending $200 million and other teams spending $30 million. That won't happen in football, no matter what happens with the CBA. That's why we're different. That's why teams like us have a chance.

I think that right now he's playing like the best back in the National Football League.

I told them I better not see a camera. I don't even want to see a camera phone. This is a football game, and it's a division game. It's an important game for us. We're 0-3 right now, and San Francisco is 1-2.

Nobody raised their hand. That's the National Football League. That's part of what we all understand. That's part of what we buy into when we come into the business.

Vince is going to be a great player in the National Football League. I don't have a clue what his score is, and I don't think it matters what his score is. He was a great player in college and I think he'll be the same thing in pro football. If you can play, you can play.

I didn't feel the National Football League would put us on TV without it and I was right, ... And us being 0-3, I'm not going to argue with them right now.

Signing Kurt Warner is a great step in that direction. He is clearly one of the top quarterbacks in the National Football League. His story, as I said last year, I think will continue to grow, and we think we will be a successful team. There couldn't be a better guy to lead us to that success than Kurt Warner.

I think that they clearly outplayed us. In the first half they had an answer for everything that we did on defense. We have to be able to bat the ball down or stop the run and we did not do either one defensively.

I think that they clearly out played us. In the first half, they had an answer for everything that we did on defense. We have to be able to bat the ball or stop the run, but we did not do either one defensively.

We're excited to give Frank this promotion and additional responsibility. He has become one of the top assistant coaches in the National Football League, and this is certainly a reflection of how highly we regard him.

We moved the ball OK, but you've got to be able to score points and you've got to be able to slam the door.

We have more first downs than most teams. We have moved the ball to a certain extent. We have not scored touchdowns to a certain extent.

Guys disagreed with some of the calls. Guys felt that the play they could have made they didn't get a chance to make because of the defense that was against them, ... and (they) reacted in what I would consider a negative fashion because it takes you out of your ball game. You can't be yelling at the officials and all those other things, so I think it hurt us. But it was that kind of a ball game.

He'll be one of the best athletes they've got there. He can dunk a ball any way you want to dunk it. Absolutely. He's got exceptional speed, exceptional jumping ability. He'll be a regular gym rat.

I don't know what took the officials so long, but the ball did not cross the plane on the first replay I saw.

I think right now he's playing like the best back in the National Football League. I don't think it's just the yardage. He also can catch the ball. He does a decent job of pass protection, and he makes big plays.

We felt he still has what it takes to be a winner in the league and to be a leader. Difficulty is a part of the game. There are very few guys who have clear sailing in the National Football League.

I think we'll be better, more of a high-flying offense, which is his style of play, ... He plays a good game of high-ball, which means that you let him go one-on-one against defenders and put the ball up high. That's where most of his touchdowns came last year.

I don't think we could his or Marcel's because we didn't really have any (running) lanes. I think maybe the second carry or first carry, we knocked off about 12 yards. We were hoping that was going to be indicative of how we were going to run the ball yesterday, but we didn't.

Both games we got behind you are not running the ball nearly as much as you want to. Hopefully we can rectify that.

Obviously he made some good throws, made some poor throws, got rid of the ball sometimes when he could, held the ball when he shouldn't,

This is the reward. This is the dessert. This is what you get when you've got an outstanding stadium. Now you can function like all the other 31 teams in the National Football League. In fact, you can function better than they can.
