Mark Brunell Guy Quotations

We're not just a bunch of giggles out there. We work, but there is a time for a little levity, and I think it puts guys at ease. Some guys are so focused they don't listen to you anyway.

We've come a long way since last year. Hopefully, this will be a stepping stone for this football team. I think we've got great talent, I think we've got guys with great character, all the things you want. I hope we can keep this group intact. It's difficult to do nowadays. But if we can, I expect some good things next year.

It was pretty shaky there for a while, but we hung in there. It wasn't pretty, but the guys stuck together and we managed to make a couple of good plays, thanks to Santana,

You look at those numbers, and I'm real fortunate that we've had a really good running game. The receivers have done a great job. The offensive line has done a great job of protecting. Those numbers come up because you have 10 guys around you doing their jobs. It's the reflection of the whole offense, not just one position.

Most teams will not give you the plays downfield, ... particularly when you've got a guy like Santana, who has made big plays. You've got to be patient, and you've got to take what's available to you with the underneath stuff. So it's about being patient, but sometimes that's really hard to do, because you want to get that ball downfield.

We've played only one game, but for the most part guys are more comfortable with what we're doing.

It would be my hope that we could keep this group intact, which is difficult to do these days. I think we have guys with great character, work ethic, attitude; all the things that you'd want.

You can't say enough about him. He's a big-play guy - something that we've been lacking for a while. He's a go-to guy.

He gives 110 percent. What impresses me the most about Clinton is when he doesn't have the ball. It's when he's protecting the passer, when he's blocking for a receiver downfield. He's always going. It's very impressive. He's not the biggest guy (5-11, 205), yet he plays like a big guy. He can do everything.

Our season is riding on this game. The guys have worked real hard all year to get to this place. From where we were at 5-6, it's pretty remarkable. All of that being said and as great as these last four games have been, if we don't get this one, it would be tough to end the season that way. We have to realize how critical this is.

Santana made some big plays. The biggest thing as a quarterback, when you are playing with a guy with that much speed, is you can't underthrow him. You have to throw it out there about as far as you can because he is going to run and get it.

It was a shady hit, ... I don't think guys should be playing that way.

Let's face it, those guys hold if they can get away with it and it's hard to hold a defensive end when you can't grab onto him.

They stuffed us. A lot of times, they had eight guys in the box, and that's how you stop the run.

You guys were telling me all week what a great runner I was, ... but you've got to tuck the ball away. If you don't, it will come out.

This year, I'm a different guy in that I've been in the system for a year, ... and I think we've got more talent this year, I really do.

This year, I am a different guy and I have been in the system for a year. I think we have more talent this year. We have guys that want to be here and have great attitudes. There has been a lot of change for the better as far as personnel on this team, and so now we can go try and win some games.

You want your best guys in there. We've had a lot of injuries, it's unfortunate. But that's the time of the year. A lot of guys are banged up.

Patrick is a great guy and a very good player. He's a good friend, and I think he's going to have a great year. The backup's role is to always be ready. That's the purpose of preseason, to get ready for the regular season, so I feel good about the games I had and the time I was in there.

Patrick is a great guy and a very good player,
