Joe Gibbs Guys Quotations

With the weekend, I figured I'd let the guys go home,

The problem with signing our guys right now, almost none of the agents want to sign right now. They are afraid now if they go out and do a deal, they are going to get criticized for it.

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.

I think it's a confidence thing, hopefully, ... and I think the guys believe. They know what you're capable off. Certainly, I think our play has stepped up as we've kind of gone here. Hopefully, it carries over. Last year was so hard for us. We couldn't get a big play like we've had in these games. We just couldn't get a big one when we had to have it.

Our guys in the fourth quarter are fighting their guts out. I would hope that they'd start the game like that.

Looking back to 5-6, we talked at that time that if we lost another game we'd be out. Trying to win five straight is a tough deal, but our guys seemed to understand what it would take. We went back to the basics.

That was the first time we got manhandled by somebody in the regular season. Our guys just took it upon themselves. They knew what needed to be done and they knew they needed to play hard.

Why this would happen to us? I don't know. We've had three tough losses and a total of five tough losses. I wouldn't want a different group to coach. These are the guys I like. It's up to us, and we're going to see what's going to happen down the road.

We had two long drives there that we didn't finish well in the second half, our guys felt like defensively, ... We gave up four big plays, which resulted in a lot of yardage there.

We fought hard all day and kept slugging. I was proud of our guys because they've got great heart. They found a way to win the ballgame.

We fought hard all day and kept slugging, ... I was proud of our guys because they've got great heart. They found a way to win the ballgame.

Yeah, but our guys are too smart for that. We talk all the time about that and they understand it.

We were obviously concerned after the game, but he has very little swelling, and our guys feel encouraged.

What David is, is a very, very good route runner, ... He's showed that he's got patience. He's got really good hints, which normally means you're a real good route runner, when you can go in there and just have a natural way of selling something. All it is is a little hint, but you see the defender take a big bite off of it. He's got real good instincts that way, and he's been around a long time and is just one of the hardest-working, high-quality guys you want to be around.

People say, 'Why would you go get the free agents? Well, look at the guys we wouldn't have on our football team.

All of our guys thought he was on the ground. That's what everybody told me. I didn't see it, but that's what instant replay is for.

They had the upper hand for a long time out there. We had a tough time getting anything done against their defense. Any time you get into the playoffs it's a huge deal. I feel great for these guys because so many of them haven't experienced it before.

It's not Xs and Os. It's people and character and making great plays, ... It's more of a personal thing. It's the character. It's the fight - because up here most of the guys who get to this level are obviously talented.

He's not a starter and hasn't started, ... I know he's disappointed in not making more of an impact, not playing more, but I think it's something we have to work our way through. I think it's one of those things scheme-wise for our defense, it's the best way I would answer that. We've got a lot of guys that are talented guys who can do a lot of things for us. ... Health-wise, I think he's back.
