Kevan Barlow Quotations

Maybe they don't possess the same physical attributes that T.O. brings, but together they're just as good, if not better.

Obviously it's different because he's not on the team. T.O.'s a great player. That's no secret. He gives it his all week in, week out, like he showed today. Anybody would like T.O. on their team. It's a matter of time before we start to gel and make our own plays.

Right now, I'm not worried about Reggie at all. I've never really seen him play. I've seen highlights. I know he's got great highlights. I think we're solid at running back with me and Frank (Gore) and Mo (Hicks), but that's not my decision.

I didn't lose no pep in my step. If we can get together on offense, we can get the same things going.

He's playing against his old team, so anybody who's playing against his old team will want to go out there and show them up.

He is the kind of guy who goes out there and gives it his all, week in and week out. And he did show that today. He is a great player and almost any team would like to have him.

I talk to him all the time, and he gives me his opinions about our situation, ... He might as well be Nostradamus , because he predicted everything Ê that we're going through.

I think it's been a positive year as far as going in the right direction. It doesn't always show up in the stats, but I feel like I was productive on the field and the reason is I laid everything out there. I put it on the line for my teammates.

Regardless if it's Terrell Owens or Marvin Harrison, we are going to prepare the same way.

It's going good. If it was up to us, we would have over 100 yards rushing right now.

That's our mentality, everybody's mentality, run the ball and pass second. We're going to establish. We'll run right and run left. We're not going to have 52 sacks this year. I'd rather run the ball every down before we have as many sacks as we did last year.

It's a makeover, and I'm excited about them. When I go in the huddle and see those faces, I know I have guys in there that have each other's back and I know those guys are going to block.

I'm going to get healthy and I'm going to come back next year better than ever. I understand this is a 'What have you done for me lately?' business, but people forget what you've done in the past. There's no doubt in my mind I'm one of the elite backs in the league and it's just a matter of time before it shows.

I know we've been progressing when it comes to running the ball and it was a matter of time before we would go out and get some positive yards, ... I think this week was a good one for us to establish our identity when it comes to running the ball.

I know he's going to want to probably show us up. He's going to try to, but we're going to prepare for him just like we prepare for (the Rams') Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce. ... I'm sure he was upset, (and) he had some things to say when he left, but that's irrelevant to us in this locker room.

I know he's going to have some pep in his step this week. He's probably going to want to show us up.

I definitely think he's going to use that as an incentive to go out there and try to play harder.

You can't even compare the two seasons. Last year was a lot tougher. We're still losing a few games, but we all know it's going to turn around soon. You can feel it.
