Joe Gibbs Certainly Quotations

Certainly I would hope that this victory would be one that the guys say, 'Hey look, we're never out of something,' ... We're going to keep fighting no matter what. I hope we can kind of build on that and correct the things that we did poorly.

Certainly I thought that was important for us. Particularly when you've got new receivers, you want to get in some kind of a groove there.

Certainly I'm treating this as starting all over again and seeing if we can develop a winner in Washington. It's a tough league. We'll see what happens.

From Mark's standpoint, when he was playing last year we weren't as good certainly as we are now, ... I think we're better now. And hopefully that will prove out to be the case.

Well, you certainly have to give them a lot of the credit. Let's put it that way.

I think we take a long hard look at ourselves, and it certainly starts with me. ... It seemed like we were kind of all of us together on it.

I think we all realized what was at stake. We had talked about it all week, the big ballgame for us and for them there was a lot at stake. There was a lot riding on it and we didn't play well. I think we take a long hard look at ourselves, and it certainly starts with me.

We certainly accomplished a lot this year. We were 6-10 last year, and the facts speak for themselves this year. We got a lot of good things done.

We have a lot we need to improve on, ... We've got a long ways to go. Certainly, I don't think anybody here feels like we're satisfied with our passing game or our rushing game right now, so I think you try to do a good job of analyzing it. But certainly our work, and what we're concentrating on, are ways to get more production. I would say across the board we need to step it up. I don't think anyone is satisfied with what we're doing.

We saw him throw it, we saw him run with it, we saw him catch it, and certainly those are roles we want to expand. Our goal would be, with a guy like this, to try and get his hands on the ball.

Everything is on the table. We didn't have the production we wanted late in the year. But we did make a big jump. It's a matter of evaluating everything and seeing the ways that we can help ourselves get more production. It's a little bit strategy, and it's certainly personnel.

This is something that is extremely hard, ... You don't like doing this. I don't. Sometimes you don't chart the circumstances or what happens - it just happens. Certainly it wasn't the plan I had going in, but sometimes plans change, and I think you do the best you can in dealing with it.

Each team's a little different, how they want to build a team. ... Certainly Pittsburgh is a scheme that works, they won a Super Bowl. If you watch their team, there are a lot of draft choices, they're real conscious about that. It remains to be seen how we'll end up doing, but we've chosen to be more aggressive in free agency.

I've got to tell you, for a little old guy fighting his guts out, we really like him. We've got some tough decisions there to make, and certainly he stood up.

In order to have a great rivalry, ... you've got to have two teams that are beating each other, and it's been one-sided. So I don't know. I can't speak for the rivalry part of it, but certainly we haven't been doing our part is the best way of putting it. And I think they're a much improved football team over last year from what I've seen on film. I think they've got a new system there on defense, and they're obviously very, very well-coached, and I have great respect there for Coach Parcells.

I certainly haven't talked about anything like that.

I certainly had second thoughts about the way the second half went, so we want to be more balanced. We want to make sure we don't go into a game and come out of there saying, 'Hey, look, we let it get away from us by throwing the ball too much.

The little guy fights his guts off, we really like him. We got some real tough decisions to make. Certainly he stood up tonight, he really played well. Those are the things we need to see.
