Jerry Porter Quotations

Wow, it's going to be disgusting how good we can be. As long as we run the ball well, it's going to make defenses play us honest. We do so much off play-action. Last year we didn't have much of a running attack but we still had a pretty good passing attack as the season went on. Now, with LaMont Jordan running the ball, we will be hell to deal with.

I don't know what is wrong or what was wrong with Randy. We should have been able to get along without him. He's a great player. He's a big part of our offense, but we still should have been able to hold it down without him.

I am fine, ... I am always fine. Unless you see a bone coming through the skin, I'm still fine.

I'm always competing with the guy across the field. I don't want him to get all the balls. It just makes you step your game up that much more. I knew we were going to sign Randy before I even signed my contract. I welcomed it from day one.

I felt like he was holding on, to go from the greatest receiver of all time to the fourth or fifth receiver on that team. In certain offenses, he probably still could be a second receiver.

I felt like it was time, ... It seemed like he was holding on from being the greatest receiver ever to playing a secondary or third or fourth role on other teams.

I feel like it was time. It seemed like he was holding on. He had gone from the greatest receiver ever to playing a secondary or third role or fourth role or other things that he shouldn't be.

From what we were the past two years ... it's a shell. We had to do something about it. The buck stopped last year.

He tried to push me out of bounds, and I just tried to keep my balance. I guess he was relying on my momentum taking me toward the sideline and him just being able to push me out of bounds. He didn't anticipate me trying to stay in bounds.

He just spoke his piece. There was no forum where everybody needed to talk,

I would've liked to have gotten at least one or two preseason games and got a chance to play against somebody and get some live bullets shot against me, get somebody (to) tackle me or try to tackle me. But that's how it is.

I was very surprised. It's either score or lose, and they scored.

That's the way AFC West games go - down to the wire. We were on the winning end when I first got here.

We could just petition for a week off. But I don't think the league will let us do that.

We're not pointing fingers. That will start outside this room.

We're not lacking for confidence, we're just lacking for wins. It's dumb to get frustrated now, it's Week 2. We have 14 more games to play.

We could ask for a week off, but I bet the league will not give it to us.

We should have been able to hold it down without him.

They've been tough to come by these past couple years out here. You guys were on our case last year for not getting a road win. We get a road win. We'll take it any way we can get it.

It keeps going down to the wire. Pretty soon it's going to burst and we're going to be on the other side.

No matter who is at quarterback, I'll be OK. I've worked with Marques for the five years that he's been here.

It was pretty ballsy, ... Either score or lose.

I guess he was relying on my momentum taking me to the sideline, him just being able to push me out of bounds, ... He just didn't anticipate me trying to stay inbounds.

I really don't like the Chiefs. They've beaten us five times in a row. That's far too many. When I first got here, they didn't know what a win was.

Hopefully it does. When you look at how the 'ones' play, the starters, they're out there doing some real damage.

I feel like I went about this the right way, ... I'm ready to contribute.

I feel like I went about this the right way. I feel like I'll be ready to contribute and play my best against New England on Thursday night. I would have liked to have gotten at least one or two preseason games in and gotten a chance to play against somebody. ... It is how it is.

The guy gave all he had for 21 years, ... In certain offenses, he could still be a second receiver. He's just not getting that shot anymore.
