Tim Hasselbeck Quotations

I would have liked to play better. But I felt comfortable. I'll probably be disappointed with how I played, some the decisions I made. But that's why we have next week.

He doesn't care about guys rushing him one bit.

I thought the offense did OK at the start. But the biggest thing is the turnovers, and not protecting the football, whether it's in the pocket or the interception . . . it's tough to win when the defense is scoring off your offense.

I saw it on TV, ... and I thought it might be the end of the season for Eli. I couldn't see him coming back up and walking off the field.

We have talented guys, and my job really is to get those people the football. As a backup, you just want to go in and not have any hiccups when the starter is out of the game. Just move the ball and have things work. It's like being an offensive lineman in some ways -- you don't want to be noticed. That's fine with me. I don't need a lot of attention, don't want it.

You know how some coaches are on such a tight schedule? With Coach Gibbs, his 10 a.m. meeting might start at 10:05, 10:15, whenever he wanted to start it.

Especially when you're backed up like that, there needs to be a real sense of urgency to take care of the ball. That could be a real momentum swing.

There isn't any jealousy. I'm obviously very happy for their success.

It was a miscommunication. We ran into each other and the ball came loose. When you're backed up like that there needs to be a real sense of urgency to take care of the football.

I kind of get nervous sometimes watching him play, more so than when I play.

I'll probably be pretty disappointed with how I played and some of the decisions that I made. I'll just try to learn from it and become a better player.

A miscommunication. When you are backed up like that you have a sense of urgency to secure the football.
