You don't let it be a distraction. That is not what you do. There are going to be things that happen and you don't focus on those things. You focus on getting the football team ready to play and you handle the other things up front the way we do it.
There are things that we still need to do. There's certain things at stake and our guys understand that. Also, we need to keep improving as a football team. That's the mentality that this group has taken on. They understand that they haven't reached their peak.
We're not on vacation. We're down here to play a football game.
We have a good nucleus of players who have been here, ... and they understand what we are all about, what we are trying to accomplish. And that is the strength of the football team.
We understand it's never as good as you think and never as bad as you think in this league. Mike Nolan's putting together a football team right now, working his tail off to get that thing right. He's got a bright future ahead of him.
We will look at all phases and we will make sure we learn from the experience and we take the good from it and try to get better as a football team. With the character of players I have here, I know it will take place.
I think the important thing is finding a way to win the football game. I really think, when it is all said and done, that people really don't care whether you ran or threw the ball. They care about winning and losing. We are going to try to do what is working for us and do the best we can.
I thought they played hard, but I thought there were too many mistakes. We had way too many penalties. You can't go backwards in the National Football League and expect to win football games.
I thought the effort of our football team was very good,
I think that everybody on the football team has a lot of confidence in him. He's playing well, but it's not something new that he is doing now that he didn't do before. He is getting more of an opportunity now.
I think that is a tough thing on everybody. They were two of my favorite guys on the team. I really think highly of them as people and football players. It came down to a situation where we made a decision not to go with them.
I think he feels pretty good, ... He is running around good. He hasn't had a lot of pain in there. He will get a nice stretch before he gets out there and plays. He should be fine.
