He's got to get his mind mentally ready to play Kansas City. We know one thing: When he is healthy, we win games.
He gave us the best chance to do what we needed to do to win the game. I had reservations, but he was able to go in and do some things.
He's a tough guy, he wants to make the kick. He looks forward to helping us win games with his leg. When he goes in there, he has an excellent chance to make it.
You just got to keep working, try to win a game, make yourself feel better,
We've had opportunities late in games this season, but we haven't been able to quite get it done. We have to get better on the road. We have two home games left. We can win those and give us some momentum.
At this point, it's 2006, and we got our first win of 2006. It's something to kind of laugh about, but it's important for us to point this organization in the right way. ... Like I have said many times, it's not a condition; it was just a season. It's over for us.
We're very glad we have him. He's a guy that's won a lot of games in this league. Players respect him because of what he's done, how he's come in here and handled the position we've asked him to take. Obviously, if something should happen (to Pennington) we feel like he can go in the game and play and win for us.
It would've been a good win for all of us, because we could use one of those right now,
Anytime you change offenses on a guy, that's tough, ... Chad doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him. He understands what's going on. At the end of the day, he's going to be a very good quarterback in this league. He's going to win a lot. And he's won. He's won a lot of games here already. He's going to get better and we're going to get better as a team. That's my belief.
That's what they ruled, ... We still had chances to win the game after that.
I've always had great expectations for defense. Your mind-set as a coach, you know you win with defense, you sell tickets with offense. They understand where I'm coming from. You grow up on one side of the ball you always feel that way.
Quarterbacks are paid to win and he won.
Obviously it's not what you anticipated going into the season. It would be good to get a win at home.
Obviously, if we don't win a game soon here, we're going to have a high draft choice,
