I tried to make a joke,

If there’s anybody that’s got better long-ball reaction than that guy — he turned around and snatched that thing from I don’t know where.

Our heart goes out to everybody down there, … They’ve got to do whatever they’ve got to do. We’re all praying for everybody down there. There’s been a number of our players affected by it,...

We wish Bill Musgrave all the best in his new role with the Falcons organization. Although it is unfortunate that he departed, we always want what is best for our coaches and their families, which...

We certainly think we’ve got some candidates there that should be very good on special teams, … so we think we’ve helped [special teams coach] Danny [Smith], and Danny thinks we have, too, so we’ll...

Jason did some good things and some bad things.

Last year we saw rookies play extremely well at quarterback, and they beat us; Pittsburgh beat us soundly.

I know a lot of people would disagree with this, and I understand that. For me, personally, I felt like it was a decision that I had to make. I think we’ve got a situation...

I don’t think it’s as easy as people make it out to be. You also have to protect in there. You’re looking through your legs and trying to get something back there 15 yards to...

You try to go within reason, … and to make sure you’re doing smart things. And you take a long, hard look at a game like this and say, ‘Okay, what can we do to...

I’ve appreciated how Patrick has handled the situation all year. It says a lot about him and his character.

He’s protected the football, which is very important. I think he has made good decisions when things aren’t there, which is really important. Everybody is going to hit something that’s open. But when it’s not...

It’s a short work week, so Wednesday is a big day for us because we only get two work days, really. We’re going hard and we’re going late.

We wish the past two years could have been smoother.

He’s smart. He’s been around a bunch. He kind of understands the game plan. He can walk through the game plan.

I don’t think it’s anything real bad. But he had a little twinge there.

As a coach, you feel like you’re letting everybody down,

From Mark’s standpoint, when he was playing last year we weren’t as good certainly as we are now, … I think we’re better now. And hopefully that will prove out to be the case.

We’re one of the aggressive teams in the league when it comes to signing free agents. That’s the way we want to be. … If we weren’t aggressive over the last couple years, we wouldn’t...

Patrick is going to see that he made some real good things. He hit some deep balls and made some key plays for us, and that’s partly what I’m referring to. And then he turned...

We’ve got to look at it as a great win, … But there’s things we need to improve on.

I think Sean could play running back. I think he could play receiver. I think he could play corner, … Any expanded role is something we’ll continue to work with because he’s so unusual.

I think all you can ask for is to have a chance at the end of the year. A lot of great cars still have a chance and we’ve got to earn it every week.

It looks like he’s OK.

Maybe we just like winners, … We hope some of that will carry over to the Redskins.

We certainly accomplished a lot this year. We were 6-10 last year, and the facts speak for themselves this year. We got a lot of good things done.

I have some feelings [about the offense], and I think everybody that watched us could probably draw some conclusions, too. But I think until the bullets start flying you’re not going to really know. The...

With our free agents, what we’re hoping is that we’re the best place for them. Sometimes you get forced into letting them look. Hopefully in our case, they want to be with us. If somebody...

Their defense is tough. We know it’s going to be stacked against us, but at least we have the opportunity and the chance.

Ray really looks like a stroll in the park. He looks like he could do it the rest of his life.

[Coach Joe Gibbs said he believes the Redskins have ample playmakers among the wide receivers, although Taylor Jacobs and James Thrash have been silent as well.] I think we’ve got other people. You’re right. If...

Initially, the [trainers] that were here said it still felt tight and everything, so that was good, … We’ll just have to wait and see. It might be we have to wait overnight.

People who enjoy what they are doing invariably do it well.

Well, you certainly have to give them a lot of the credit. Let’s put it that way.

That concerns me a lot, … When we don’t play smart football, that really concerns you.

I know he’s disappointed not making more of an impact, not playing more, … It’s something we just have to work our way through. I think our defensive schemes are trying to use all of...

I always think it’s ultimately my responsibility. I always start with myself. I haven’t done a good job if we play a game like that. . . . You tell them, ‘Here’s the good, here’s...

It was one of those nights where everything went our way.

Sometimes just getting out of the pocket and getting rid of the ball can be the biggest play of the game. As I’ve said many times, a quarterback’s biggest play is when it’s not there....

It’s a huge deal anytime you get in the playoffs. We showed guts and determination. I feel humbled and really thankful to get in. It was a hard-fought game and I was just thrilled to...

Right now, for anybody in this organization — I would hope in the entire town — to be focused on anything other than Philly would be ridiculous. We’re getting ready to play the most important...

I can promise you there are going to be some great players that come out of this draft from the fifth [round] down. Those are where the home runs are. Could we be the team...

We’d like to see Patrick continue to make the real good plays he’s made and eliminate the bad ones, … We need to be efficient.

But if they didn’t think it was a joke, or if anybody took it the wrong way other than a joke, when you make a mistake like that, you’ve got to apologize. So I apologize...

When are we going to start getting it done? I don’t know. I know we’re here for the long haul. So, at some point, we’ve got to start getting it done if we’re going to...

When he played last year, personnel-wise we weren’t as good as we are now.

I think we realized what was at stake,

That was a tough assignment there. That kind of tells you the reason why people fight so hard for home-field advantage. That was a tough environment today, and that’s the way it’s supposed to be.

To Mark’s benefit, … I think he’s been really consistent with his play since we started back this year. I think he’s been confident and sure.

He’s been real consistent with his play since we started back this year, … He’s been confident and sure. … What I’m looking towards is somebody to really establish themselves as a quarterback, take over...
