Chester Pitts Quotations

We have a saying, and it applies to the situation now. That saying is, 'Don't let go of the rope,'

If we do things right we're just as good as anybody in the NFL. But when we don't do things right, we can look sloppy and ugly. So the biggest thing for us is doing things right play in and play out no matter how many plays we have out there.

But at the same time, I've been with coach Capers the same amount of time, and all he's wanted is what he felt is best for his team.

I love coach Capers. He's the only coach I've ever known, but I like him, especially this season. He hasn't been just a coach. If you had something going on away from football, you could go and talk to him as a friend.

He gets off the ball like you wouldn't believe, ... He's so fast around the corner. You jump out there to make sure he doesn't beat you around the corner, and as soon as you jump out there, he spins to the side and he's right on top of the quarterback.

He's asking good questions, and when he makes a mistake, he realizes it immediately. When something went wrong last year, he'd get a look on his face that said, What am I supposed to be doing?

There aren't words to characterize the emotions I'm feeling right now, ... It's wonderful, like a dream come true.

Our first year, we had 76 sacks, ... That's not very good. Playing like this, we'll be right back where we started.

You have to do what you have to do, ... They aren't going to cancel the game just because of an injury.

There are a lot of guys that have looked fantastic and done a great job, but I'm not sold on anyone until they do it at this level.

When I went to San Diego State (and walked on to the football program), never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I might be a pro football player and become pretty decent at it. Now, here I am ... I just feel so much joy.

What are we doing (getting) a consolation prize for saying we blocked better than the other guys? Yippee,

The way he calls plays differently or what can be expected, I can't comment on that. That will all be determined real soon. I just know coach Pendry is a good coach.

Coach Palmer is what you could say was 'my guy,'

This is an exciting time for me and the Texans,

It stinks, ... We've dug a hole. No one else dug this hole for us.

It's kind of like being the first born now. The last four years, the defense was the first born. If we'd get out of a meeting 10 minutes early, the defense was going to know about it before us. All the little things, the defense knew first. Hopefully now with an offensive-minded coach, we get some of those extra advantages.
